The Aman Residences Maldives is a branded-residence programme reported in Vaavu Atoll, alongside the first Aman resort in the Maldives. It comprises just 16 private residences, each set on its own private islet, ranging from five to ten bedrooms, designed by Kerry Hill Architects. The programme is off-plan and coming soon, reported to open around 2027. Pricing is on request — not publicly published. Foreign buyers acquire on a long-term leasehold basis. GADAIT is an independent advisor providing access — not the developer.
Aman Residences Maldives
Few names carry the desire that Aman commands. Its devotees — the so-called "Aman junkies" — follow the brand across the world for its restraint, privacy and intensity of service. The Aman Residences Maldives, part of the brand's reported first project in the Maldives, brings that DNA to the Indian Ocean, with a setting and architecture by longtime collaborator Kerry Hill Architects.
What is for sale is an exceptionally rare collection: just 16 private residences, each set on its own private islet within a reported secluded atoll in Vaavu. Sold off-plan ahead of a reported 2027 opening, the residences range from five to ten bedrooms — a format built for multi-generational families and the most private form of ownership in the Maldives. Anticipation around the programme is high, and it is increasingly cited as one of the future prestige addresses of the archipelago. GADAIT acts as an independent advisor, giving qualified buyers access and acquisition advisory on the programme.

Residence Types, Bedrooms & Pricing
The collection of 16 private residences ranges from five to ten bedrooms, with each residence reported to sit on its own private islet — complete with a private beach, a 25-metre swimming pool and a personal landing jetty. Within the wider resort, standalone pavilions of one to three bedrooms with private pools complete the experience. As a coming-soon programme, pricing is on request and released by the developer to qualified buyers.
| Residence | Bedrooms | Setting | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private-Island Residences | 5–6 bedrooms | Own private islet | On request | Private beach, 25m pool, landing jetty |
| Larger Family Residences | 7–8 bedrooms | Own private islet | On request | Multi-generational, full privacy |
| Flagship Residences | 9–10 bedrooms | Own private islet | On request | The largest format in the collection |
| Resort Pavilions | 1–3 bedrooms | Standalone pavilions | On request | Private pools, within the Aman resort |

Amenities & Facilities
The development is designed as an Aman estate, with the brand's signature emphasis on wellness, privacy and a deep connection to the natural setting of the atoll.

Vaavu Atoll
Aman Maldives is reported to be located in Vaavu Atoll, on a secluded private atoll towards the eastern edge of the archipelago. The islands are reported to be connected by elegant wooden walkways, with the layout and architecture designed by Kerry Hill Architects to draw on the natural surroundings — white-sand beaches and clear turquoise lagoons — while preserving privacy across the residences.
Vaavu is one of the Maldives' less developed atolls, prized for its seclusion and its renowned dive sites. For an Aman programme built around 16 private islets, this setting reinforces the sense of an intensely private, low-density estate — exactly the profile the brand's most loyal owners seek.
The Investment Case
An Aman Residence pairs one of the most desired names in hospitality with extreme scarcity — just 16 private-island residences. Brand equity, professional governance, an off-plan entry ahead of a reported 2027 opening and the rarity of the format are the core pillars of the case for ultra-luxury buyers.
- The Aman brand premiumAman commands an intensely loyal following and rarely builds residences. A branded residence attached to the maison typically supports stronger long-term demand and resilient resale.
- Extreme scarcity — 16 onlyA collection of just 16 private-island residences, each on its own islet. Rarity at this level is difficult to replicate and is a defining part of the value case.
- Off-plan entry before openingOff-plan reservations are typically made ahead of delivery, often through staged developer payment plans, spreading exposure until the reported 2027 opening.
- Future prestige addressWidely anticipated and increasingly cited as one of the future prestige addresses of the Maldives — first-mover positioning in a supply-constrained market.

Acquisition & Financing
As with all Maldives branded residences, an Aman Residence is acquired on a long-term leasehold / sub-lease basis within the approved development, rather than as freehold land. The process runs through reservation, due diligence and completion — with GADAIT acting independently in the buyer's interest at each step. For the full ownership framework, see our guide to buying property in the Maldives.
Financing
Local mortgages are uncommon for foreign buyers of Maldives leasehold residences. In practice, acquisitions are financed through three main routes — and GADAIT works with private-banking partners to structure the most efficient option per profile.
Financing availability depends on the developer's plans, the buyer's profile and jurisdiction. We introduce qualified buyers to private-banking partners and confirm options before any commitment.
