A Sanctuary of Peace on Collins Avenue
Aman has long been shorthand for a particular kind of luxury: low density, quietly serviced and instinctively private. With Aman Miami Beach, that philosophy is being translated directly onto the sand at 3425 Collins Avenue, where a restored Art Deco landmark and a new residential tower coalesce into a single, ultra exclusive enclave. Set between the Atlantic and the cultural energy of the Faena District, the project introduces the brand’s meditative sensibility to a stretch of coastline better known for its nightlife, creating a genuine sanctuary above Collins Avenue.
As Aman’s second urban destination in the United States after Aman New York, the Miami incarnation is conceived less as a conventional condominium and more as a holistic lifestyle program. The historic Versailles Hotel, a 1940s icon, is being meticulously restored as a boutique Aman hotel of roughly 55 to 56 keys, while next door an 18 story tower designed by Kengo Kuma rises directly over the Oceanfront sands. Together they offer residents a rare pairing: the privacy of a home in the sky combined with full immersion in Aman’s service culture.
For global buyers, the significance goes beyond another branded address. Aman Miami Beach effectively introduces a different cadence to Collins Avenue, where hotel suites and larger scale condos have traditionally dominated. With only 22 residences, each oriented toward uninterrupted ocean views and framed by generous outdoor living, this is a project designed for owners who want a Miami-beach home that functions as a refuge first and a social stage second.
The lifestyle narrative is equally compelling for families and collectors of global homes. The Atlantic is directly below, Bal Harbour, the Design District and cultural institutions across Greater Miami are a short drive away, and Miami International Airport is within easy reach. Yet the daily experience inside the property is intentionally introverted and serene. That duality is at the heart of Aman’s appeal and it is what makes this particular site on Collins Avenue so strategically important.
Design and Architecture: Kengo Kuma’s Coastal Masterpiece
Aman Miami Beach is also a statement of architecture. Kengo Kuma’s tower is a study in soft minimalism, conceived as a sculpted stack of terraces that appears to hover above the ground on slender three story columns. The building steps back in a tiered, scalloped form so that every residence enjoys sweeping views of the Atlantic and the skyline, while the overall massing reads as a series of billowing planes rather than a conventional slab.
At the arrival level, a soaring atrium with a branching wood screen introduces the project’s material language. Natural timber, pale stone and finely detailed metalwork create a calm, tactile backdrop that contrasts with the saturated color and pattern of the surrounding district. Kuma draws inspiration from both Japanese joinery and the lyrical curves of neighboring Art Deco facades, and that influence is visible in the way balconies undulate around the building.
The floor plates themselves are engineered as ultra thin knife edge slabs that project outwards at varying angles, creating an animated profile that captures light differently throughout the day. These extended terraces perform double duty, acting as deep outdoor living rooms while providing solar shading for the glass walls below. Inside, floor to ceiling glazing and corner window conditions blur the threshold between interior and exterior, a critical consideration in a climate where the ocean and the sky are as much a part of the living room as any piece of furniture.
Across the shared grounds and amenity levels, the design continues the dialogue between heritage and modernity. Paths and landscaped courtyards weave between the new tower and the restored Versailles, framing glimpses of original Art Deco detailing alongside contemporary water features and quiet seating niches. The intention is not simply to preserve a historic shell, but to orchestrate a sequence of spaces where residents move seamlessly from the intimacy of their homes to the social areas of the hotel and back again, always within a coherent architectural language.
Residences in the Sky: Privacy, Space and Craftsmanship
Within the Kuma designed tower, just 22 homes are planned, ranging from expansive two bedroom residences to generous five and six bedroom estates. Several floors are dedicated to single residences with private elevator lobbies, effectively creating full floor homes in the sky. At the apex of the building, a limited number of duplex penthouses are anticipated, each crowned with its own rooftop pool, outdoor kitchen and panoramic entertainment terrace that turns the entire roof plate into a private resort.
The interior design ethos is unmistakably Aman. Volumes are clean and uncluttered, but the experience is far from austere. Light oak, softly veined stone and delicately ribbed wall panels establish a warm, layered canvas. Shoji inspired screens in washi like materials diffuse the Florida sunlight into a gentle glow, allowing owners to modulate privacy and atmosphere without sacrificing the views. In primary suites, deep soaking tubs, generous wet rooms and integrated dressing areas evoke the ritual of a Japanese onsen, transforming daily routines into moments of quiet retreat.
Kitchens are conceived as sculptural objects as much as functional workspaces. Expect custom millwork that blends stone and lacquer or steel finishes, discreetly integrated appliances from leading European manufacturers and generous islands that function as both prep space and informal gathering points. Smart home systems are designed in from the outset, so lighting, shading, climate control and security can be orchestrated from a single interface or remotely, an essential consideration for owners who may be moving between homes across continents.
Acoustic privacy has also been elevated. Low density planning, carefully detailed demising walls and the absence of long, shared corridors contribute to a sense of being in an individual villa rather than a conventional condominium. For many prospective buyers, particularly those accustomed to standalone estates, this will be one of the defining luxuries of Aman Miami Beach: the ability to enjoy a vertical lifestyle without surrendering the discretion and quiet they associate with a private compound.
Wellness, Amenities and the Faena District Lifestyle
The heart of Aman Miami Beach is its wellness offering. The Aman Spa will bring the brand’s signature approach to healing and restoration to Collins Avenue, likely encompassing treatment suites, hydrotherapy zones, relaxation lounges and a fitness pavilion outfitted with next generation equipment. Programming is expected to extend well beyond traditional spa services to include mindfulness coaching, movement classes and bespoke wellness journeys curated around each resident’s preferences.
Directly on the sand, a private beach club will give owners a controlled experience of the shoreline, with attendants managing umbrellas, lounges and service so that days on the Atlantic feel effortless. An Oceanfront pool deck, framed by lush plantings and shaded cabanas, will offer an alternative to the beach while preserving the same sense of calm. Residents will be able to move from ocean swim to poolside lunch to a late afternoon massage without ever leaving the orbit of the property.
Service will be orchestrated with the same precision for which Aman is known. A 24 hour concierge and valet team will manage daily logistics, from airport transfers and housekeeping to arranging in residence private dining, yacht charters or gallery appointments around the city. Signing privileges at the hotel’s dining rooms and lounges will extend the living room into the Versailles building next door, reinforcing the notion that home, spa and hotel are all facets of the same experience.
Context matters as much as the on site program. Aman’s arrival joins a roster of highly curated developments shaping the new Collins Avenue, including near neighbors such as Faena House Miami Beach and The Perigon Miami Beach. Farther along the coastline, the brand’s footprint will be complemented by Aman Palm Beach Residences, while on the quieter sands of Broward County, projects like Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach illustrate the same focus on curated, low density coastal living. For buyers evaluating the broader Miami-beach and South Florida corridor, Aman Miami Beach positions itself at the intersection of architecture, wellness and service.
That positioning is underpinned by the development timeline. Vertical construction commenced in 2025, with top off targeted for early 2026 and opening anticipated for 2027, subject to the typical variables associated with complex coastal construction. For many private clients, that level of visibility on delivery is as important as design or branding.
