Aman Announces First Property in Puerto Rico

Luxury hotel brand Aman has announced plans to open its first property in Puerto Rico. The resort, Amantaru, will be situated on a hillside overlooking the ocean in Cabo Rojo.

While an opening date has not been confirmed, it's clear that the resort will offer a range of amenities and services, including a wellness center, bars, restaurants, and residences. Amantaru is part of the Escencia development on Puerto Rico's Southwestern coast.

Aman has been expanding rapidly in recent times, with several new properties opening around the world. The brand's decision to enter the Puerto Rican market marks another significant milestone in its growth strategy.

In related news, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced a partnership with HotelREZ Hotels & Resorts. This deal is expected to help Wyndham expand its luxury portfolio and offer guests more high-end options when booking their stays.

Wyndham's luxury expansion continues to take shape as it partners with Aman to bring over 40 independent hotels into its Registry Collection Hotels Brand by early 2026. This significant addition will provide travelers with a wider range of high-end options when booking their stays.

The participating properties include some notable locations, such as The TownHouse Mykonos in Greece and TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao in Thailand. Galgorm Resort in Northern Ireland is another property that will join the Registry Collection Hotels Brand through this partnership.

The property will also offer several dining options, including bars and restaurants from the Tao Group, and a comprehensive wellness program with a "Wellness Penthouse" for guests seeking private relaxation spaces.

The historic Casa Monica Resort & Spa in St. Augustine, Florida, has undergone a significant transformation and is now known as Grand Bohemian Casa Monica. This 137-room hotel was one of the first to join Marriott's Autograph Collection in 2010.

Guests can also take advantage of the revamped Soltana Pool Lounge, which offers a new Moroccan-inspired bar serving Mediterranean bites and refreshing cocktails perfect for sipping in the Florida sun.

The pool lounge is an ideal spot to relax and unwind while taking in the hotel's newly renovated surroundings.
