Amansamar: Tranquil Desert Escape Near Riyadh with Cultural Access & Refined Wellness

Aman Hotels & Resorts

Desert-Inspired Serenity Near the City

Set in the striking landscapes of Wadi Safar, just outside Riyadh and adjacent to Diriyah’s UNESCO-listed heritage site, Amansamar is a soon-to-open Aman destination offering serene desert living with seamless city access. This exclusive retreat is designed for travelers and residents seeking privacy, luxury, and a direct connection to Saudi Arabia’s historic heartland.

Architectural Elegance Rooted in Nature

Created by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, Amansamar draws inspiration from Najdi traditions. The 80-key hotel is built into red-rock escarpments using clay plaster, local stone, and native acacia trees to blend naturally with the desert terrain. Light-filled interiors reflect Aman’s commitment to spatial clarity and soothing design, fostering an environment of peace and presence.

Private Villas with Expansive Views

The resort will feature ultra-private Aman-branded residences, including five- and six-bedroom villas perched along dramatic desert cliffs. Set on plots starting from 9,000 m², each estate offers sweeping views and complete privacy while remaining a short drive from Riyadh’s cultural landmarks and global connectivity.

Signature Wellness & Holistic Facilities

At the heart of Amansamar is an Aman Spa offering traditional hammams, banya houses, hydrotherapy zones, and tranquil indoor–outdoor wellness spaces. Guests and residents will also enjoy a Racquet Club, multiple pools, and dedicated wellness areas for families and children—creating an inclusive space for restoration and recreation.

Culinary Artistry & Cultural Gathering

Dining at Amansamar will celebrate the spirit of Samar—the traditional Saudi custom of evening storytelling and social connection. Courtyard restaurants and lounges will serve refined Middle Eastern and international cuisine in a warm, elegant atmosphere. Cultural programs will further enrich the experience, making each moment meaningful and immersive.

Leisure Experiences & Local Heritage

Guests will enjoy easy access to Diriyah’s historic mud-brick palaces, archaeological sites, and curated cultural excursions. Desert polo, equestrian events, and Greg Norman-designed golf courses in Wadi Safar are just minutes away, blending outdoor leisure with rich heritage.
