\u201cisland time\u201d, which is an hour off the one followed in the capital Mal\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Having said all of that, we\u2019re fully confident that this new resort from Aman is going to take things to whole new levels.<\/p>\n<p>The celeb favourite hotel brand has just announced it will be opening its first-ever hotel in the Maldives, with the first guests due in 2028.<\/p>\n<div

takes its name from the Sanskrit word for peace and the water lily Olu which is found throughout the Indian Ocean region.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Kerry Hill Architects (KHA), the 52-room hotel takes inspiration \u201cfrom the white coralline beaches, turquoise lagoons and pristine island setting of the Maldives\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Amanolu will have a dedicated wellness island with an Aman Spa and the brand\u2019s signature Spa Houses, as well as an activity island, offering diving, snorkelling and watersports.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel will also be home to several restaurants and bars, although the details of these are yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most exciting part of the new Aman (read: ridiculous) are the 16 branded residences.<\/p>\n<p>Each residence will occupy its own island, with some that are oriented to enjoy the sunrise or sunset, and others that have beaches on both sides for uninterrupted views day-to-night.<\/p>\n<p>Homes will have five bedrooms, private beaches and a 25-metre swimming pool, as well as dedicated staff accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re convinced. Our bank accounts? Not so much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span

matter where you go in the Maldives, the resort islands offer a next-level stay.It starts from the second you land at Velana International Airport, when you\u2019re whisked away on a seaplane or a branded speedboat, leaving the real world (and your shoes \u2013 it\u2019s all about barefoot luxury here, darling) behind.You\u2019re even on a different time zone: Many of the resorts run by \u201cisland time\u201d, which is an hour off the one followed in the capital Mal\u00e9.Having said all of that, we\u2019re fully confident that this new resort from Aman is going to take things to whole new levels.The celeb favourite hotel brand has just announced it will be opening its first-ever hotel in the Maldives, with the first guests due in 2028.What to expect from AmanoluLocated in the secluded Vaavu Atoll, Amanolu takes its name from the Sanskrit word for peace and the water lily Olu which is found throughout the Indian Ocean region.Designed by Kerry Hill Architects (KHA), the 52-room hotel takes inspiration \u201cfrom the white coralline beaches, turquoise lagoons and pristine island setting of the Maldives\u201d.Amanolu will have a dedicated wellness island with an Aman Spa and the brand\u2019s signature Spa Houses, as well as an activity island, offering diving, snorkelling and watersports.The hotel will also be home to several restaurants and bars, although the details of these are yet to be revealed.Perhaps the most exciting part of the new Aman (read: ridiculous) are the 16 branded residences.Each residence will occupy its own island, with some that are oriented to enjoy the sunrise or sunset, and others that have beaches on both sides for uninterrupted views day-to-night.Homes will have five bedrooms, private beaches and a 25-metre swimming pool, as well as dedicated staff accommodation.We\u2019re convinced. Our bank accounts? Not so much.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/24\/aman-set-to-open-first-hotel-in-the-maldives-complete-with-an-entire-island-dedicated-to-w&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/92\/49\/46\/1200x675_cmsv2_a9f58a37-d939-5517-8f56-733ca6848663-9924946.jpg&#8221;] Climate Autumn begins but summer heat lingers in Portugal, catching tourists off guard Europe Today Energy expert warns higher prices will drive up food costs Europe News Bulgaria&#8217;s battery boom pays off as drought hits power plants Azerbaijan Udi Christians worship at Azerbaijan&#8217;s Karabakh monasteries Climate Autumn begins but summer heat lingers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2160513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2160513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2160513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2160513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2160513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2160513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2160513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
