Following the successful debut of Janu Tokyo earlier this year, Aman Group has unveiled plans for a forthcoming property in Dubai, slated to open in 2027.

Located in the heart of Dubai International Financial District (DIFC), Janu Dubai will offer sweeping views across the skyline towards the Burj Khalifa on one side and garden views on the other. A leading Pritzker Prize-winning architecture practice, Herzog & de Meuron has been appointed as the building’s architect, with plans to make the property the first of its kind in the UAE by embracing a connection to nature through expansive outdoor terraces and balconies with abundant planting and gardens. Owned by Alia Developments, Janu Dubai will be led by H&H Development, which will serve as both a shareholder of the project and the development manager.

Pioneering a new direction in luxury hospitality, Janu – derived from the Sanskrit word for ‘soul’ – is a hotel brand designed for a new era of restorative travel, enriching lives through transformative experiences, which celebrate genuine human interaction, playful expression, and social wellness. Janu Dubai will comprise approximately 150 hotel keys, as well as a limited number of Janu branded and fully serviced residences and a member’s club. The property will incorporate several distinct dining and bar concepts, as well as dedicated event spaces and an extensive wellness and fitness centre.

“Following the successful opening of Janu Tokyo, the announcement of Janu Dubai marks my continued commitment to solidifying Janu’s robust pipeline and advancing our strategic vision for the future of luxury hospitality,” comments Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “I am pleased to collaborate with Shahab Lutfi and his team at H&H Development, whose deep market insight will enable us to deliver another exceptional Janu destination for the new generation of travellers seeking connection and exploration.”

The announcement of Janu Dubai emphasises Aman Group’s commitment to the Middle East, with forthcoming properties confirmed in destinations including AlUla, Wadi Safar and Diriyah Gate. Janu Dubai and Aman Dubai are currently in the pre-development phase and further information about the properties will be released in due course.
