Dubai Peninsula has a hotel brand at each end. Aman has taken the end beside the Four Seasons, with nine acres of garden and its own beach, for its first address in the city.
The peninsula covers 210 acres of the Jumeirah coastline. H&H is developing it for the investment company Bright Start: a park in the middle, a superyacht marina, shops, public art and walking routes down to the water. Rosewood holds the far end, due in 2029. Aman holds this one.
The Aman parcel is nine acres of planted ground fronting a private stretch of white sand. Shaded courtyards, water features and walkways run between the buildings and out to the beach. Dubai usually builds upward. This much garden on one private site is rare here.
Kerry Hill
Kerry Hill Architects has the design. The practice has worked with Aman for decades, and it brings a familiar vocabulary to the Gulf: shaded galleries, carved privacy screens, sand-coloured stone, timber, bronze for the metalwork. Each residence faces either the open water or the skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass.
There will be an Aman hotel, an Aman Spa and Wellness Centre, several restaurants and a limited collection of Aman Residences, each with a private terrace and pool. Aman has not published a room count. Its page talks about proportion and privacy and leaves the numbers out.

The club
The Aman Club at the centre of the site covers 9,500 square metres, the largest the brand has built anywhere. Spa, movement studio, indoor padel, outdoor tennis courts, and private rooms kept for members, residents and their guests. Residents also get priority at the hotel spa.
Construction began in the last quarter of 2025, and Aman marked the groundbreaking in April 2026. Vladislav Doronin, Aman’s chairman and chief executive, described the project then as city life and resort life sharing one piece of ground.
Dubai has sold height for twenty years. Aman is selling the garden at the bottom of it.
The Splendid EditThe sale
The buyers had already answered. On 5 March 2026, Dubai Land Department records showed a six-bedroom penthouse here selling off-plan for AED 422 million, about 115 million dollars, for close to 2,900 square metres. It was reported as the third most expensive apartment ever sold in the city. Both penthouses are now gone.
The address is Jumeirah 2, about fifteen minutes by car from Dubai Mall and twenty from the airport. Jumeirah Fishing Harbour sits a short walk up the coast. Aman’s page gives no opening date. The developer said 2027 when the peninsula was announced in December 2025, and property trackers now estimate November 2028. Nine acres of garden will want every one of those months to grow in.
