Aman is expensive because buyers are paying for a small number of homes in specific locations, with an emphasis on privacy, space and setting, not just square footage. Aman says it operates 36 hotels and resorts in 21 countries and that Aman Residences span more than 20 destinations. Whether a particular Aman residence carries a resale premium is a building-by-building question that needs current comparable sales.

Aman is expensive because buyers are paying for a small number of homes in specific locations, with an emphasis on privacy, space and setting, not just square footage. Aman says it operates 36 hotels and resorts in 21 countries and that Aman Residences span more than 20 destinations. Whether a particular Aman residence carries a resale premium is a building-by-building question that needs current comparable sales.
Scarcity. On its website (aman.com, checked October 10, 2026), Aman says it operates 36 hotels and resorts in 21 countries and that its residences span more than 20 destinations, describing them as "impeccable homes for a select few." That is a small footprint for a global brand, so there are few Aman-branded homes on the market in any one city.
Site quality. Aman's own descriptions emphasize its settings: its residences page invites buyers to "embrace urban and remote destinations" ("forest and island, mountain and clifftop, ocean and sky"), and its home page says each residence is shaped by "profound privacy, generous space and unrivalled access to extraordinary locations."
Resale. Branded residences are sometimes priced above comparable non-branded homes, but a premium isn't guaranteed. Ask your agent for recent closed sales in the same building, and compare monthly fees, rental rules and the brand's management agreement. For background, see What Are Branded Residences? A Buyer's Guide and Hotel-Branded vs. Lifestyle-Branded Residences.
What to check before you buy
- Recent closed sales in the same building, not just asking prices
- Monthly fees and what they include; see What Are HOA Fees in Luxury Real Estate?
- Rental and use rules for owners
- Who manages the property under the brand, and what the management agreement says
- Whether the residence is open, under construction or only announced. Aman's destinations menu lists Aman New York as open and Aman Miami Beach and Aman Beverly Hills as "Opening 2028."
Talk to an agent. Talk to a Haute Real Estate Network agent about branded residences in Miami and Sunny Isles Beach: Melissa Barragan, Vice President of Dezer Platinum Realty in Sunny Isles Beach, whose profile highlights pre-construction sales at Porsche Design Tower, Residences by Armani/Casa and Bentley Residences, or Maria Kuzina, Broker/Owner of Miami Luxury Real Estate in Miami Beach, who sells luxury condos and homes across Miami. Neither profile mentions Aman, so ask any agent directly about their experience with branded residences. You can also browse the Branded Residences hub or find a realtor.
