The Caribbean is set to welcome a new icon of ultra-luxury hospitality as Aman, one of the world’s most revered resort brands, prepares to open Amancaya, a dual-island resort in the heart of The Bahamas’ Exuma archipelago.
Scheduled to debut in late 2025, Amancaya marks Aman’s most ambitious project in the region to date, bringing its signature blend of minimalism, exclusivity, and immersive wellness to the Caribbean’s booming luxury travel market.

Caribbean Elegance, Aman Style
Amancaya will stretch across two private cays, offering a 36-pavilion Aman hotel alongside a limited collection of fully serviced branded residences. Each pavilion will be carefully integrated into the landscape to maintain the serenity and natural beauty of the islands, a hallmark of Aman’s philosophy.
The project is being developed by Swiss billionaire philanthropist Dona Bertarelli and represents a $260 million investment in The Bahamas.
Setting New Standards for Caribbean Luxury
Across both islands, guests will enjoy world-class amenities, including:
- A full-service marina for yachts and private vessels
- An exclusive beach club for relaxation and curated island experiences
- A holistic spa and wellness center
- Multiple fine dining venues, with menus inspired by Caribbean and global cuisines
The resort is also designed to achieve LEED certification, emphasizing sustainable luxury through renewable energy, eco-friendly materials, and low-impact design.

Aman’s Caribbean Expansion
Amancaya follows the success of Amanera in the Dominican Republic and Amanyara in Turks and Caicos—both highly rated for offering serene seclusion and first-class service. The Caribbean has long been a natural fit for Aman’s brand of peaceful escape, and Amancaya deepens the brand’s roots in the region.
This announcement arrives at a time of explosive growth in high-end tourism throughout the Caribbean, especially in The Bahamas. The Exumas, long known for their sapphire waters and untouched cays, are now a hub for elite private-island development.
Exuma: A Rising Star in Caribbean Travel
The Exumas are fast becoming one of the Caribbean’s most coveted destinations. Amancaya joins a pipeline of ultra-luxury projects, including:
- Montage Cay, the Montage brand’s first Caribbean resort, opening in Abaco in late 2025
- Banyan Tree Bimini, featuring beachfront villas and overwater bungalows, launching early 2025
To support this momentum, a new international airport is under development in Exuma, set to greatly enhance access and elevate the region’s status among global jet-setters.

Luxury Meets Sustainability in the Caribbean
According to Bahamian officials, Aman’s investment is a vote of confidence in The Bahamas’ strategy to attract high-end, eco-conscious tourism. The project reflects a growing regional trend: luxury travel that not only delivers elegance and exclusivity but also respects and preserves the Caribbean’s fragile ecosystems.
“Aman’s expansion into The Bahamas is a reflection of our commitment to sustainable, premier tourism,” said a representative from the Ministry of Tourism. “Amancaya will be a model for responsible development in the Caribbean.”
Amancaya is more than a resort—it’s a new benchmark for luxury in the Caribbean. As it prepares to open its doors in 2025, it promises to be a transformative addition to the region, redefining island living for travelers and investors alike.
