Three collections, each one starting with a single property.
In 1988, Aman opened a single forty-villa resort in Phuket that banks refused to finance. Today it’s more than thirty-five properties across twenty-plus countries.
Six Senses started as an eco-resort on an abandoned island in the Maldives in 1995. In 2019, IHG bought the group for three hundred million dollars.
In 2016, Our Habitas was a three-month pop-up in Tulum. Today it has properties on four continents.
Each one took ten to thirty years. What all three have in common: they started with one place, not a portfolio, and scaled the format — not the capital.
