Aman has revealed Amansanu, a new ranch‑inspired sanctuary in Texas Hill Country that marks the brand’s sixth property in the United States and its first ranch‑style retreat worldwide. Set amid rolling hills, limestone cliffs and winding creeks northwest of Austin, Amansanu extends Aman’s philosophy of serenity, service and deep connection to place into one of America’s most storied landscapes.
Derived from Sanskrit for peaceful peak, Amansanu will comprise a low‑density resort of standalone pavilions and a limited collection of fully serviced Aman‑branded residences, each positioned to capture unobstructed Texas Hill Country views and a profound sense of privacy.

A new chapter for Aman in North America
Amansanu brings a new dimension to Aman’s North American portfolio, complementing the desert modernism of Amangiri (Utah), the mountain setting of Amangani (Wyoming) and the urban sanctuary of Aman New York. It also joins a growing pipeline of Aman destinations in the Americas, including Amanvari on Mexico’s East Cape, Aman Beverly Hills, Aman Miami Beach and Amancaya in The Bahamas.
Located northwest of Austin, Amansanu is designed to feel entirely removed from the city while remaining conveniently connected to its air links, culture and dining scene. The landscape of valleys, rugged canyons and escarpments sculpted over millennia becomes the backdrop for a retreat that blends Hill Country authenticity with Aman’s signature quiet luxury.
Architecture in quiet dialogue with the land

Amansanu is being designed by acclaimed architectural practice Olson Kundig, known for context‑sensitive projects that frame big landscapes through warm, crafted modernism. The resort’s architecture is conceived in “quiet dialogue” with the surrounding topography:
- Buildings follow the natural contours of the land, minimising visual impact and maximising views
- Standalone pavilions are oriented to capture panoramic vistas across valleys and canyons while preserving seclusion
- Materiality and form draw from regional ranch vernacular, reinterpreted through a contemporary, minimalist lens
Every vantage point has been carefully considered to deliver a sense of peace, privacy and connection to nature, in keeping with Aman’s approach at its most celebrated wilderness properties.

Main Lodge, Aman Spa and the brand’s first fully serviced stables
At the heart of Amansanu will be a Main Lodge that anchors the guest experience, complemented by multiple dining concepts and an expansive Aman Spa & Wellness Centre positioned along the property’s natural creek. The resort will offer:
- Signature Aman Spa and Wellness Centre, with spaces for treatments, hydrotherapy and holistic wellness
- Racquet sports courts and extensive hiking trails weaving through the Hill Country terrain
- Aman’s first fully serviced stables, offering an elevated equestrian and ranch experience with horseback riding and horse‑centred activities curated in Aman’s understated style
These amenities push Amansanu beyond a traditional resort, positioning it as a ranch‑scale estate where guests can move between wellness, adventure and slow‑living rituals in one cohesive setting.
Aman‑branded residences on expansive hillside sites
Complementing the resort will be a limited collection of Aman‑branded residences, each set on expansive hillside parcels starting at around ten acres. Designed in harmony with the resort’s architectural language, the residences feature:
- Open‑plan living spaces with floor‑to‑ceiling glazing
- Natural materials that echo the Hill Country palette
- Generous terraces and outdoor living areas that blend seamlessly into the landscape
- Exceptional privacy and uninterrupted views across valleys, cliffs and creeks
These homes follow Aman’s proven resort + residences model, seen at properties such as Amangiri and Amanvari, where owners enjoy full service and access to resort amenities while retaining the privacy of a standalone residence.

A meaningful evolution for Aman in the Americas
According to Aman Group Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin, Amansanu reflects the group’s focus on creating “rare sanctuaries” in destinations defined by natural beauty and cultural depth. Texas Hill Country’s rolling terrain, independent spirit and strong sense of place are seen as a natural fit with Aman’s philosophy of peace, privacy and immersive connection to surroundings.
Amansanu will join a growing list of Aman sanctuaries across the Americas, building on a model in which branded residences and resort spaces are integrated to support both short‑stay guests and long‑term owners. For travellers and buyers alike, it signals a new expression of the Aman experience – one that brings the brand’s quiet luxury into the ranch landscapes of Texas Hill Country.
