Pontwelly Holding Company Ltd Takes Over 100% Ownership of Aman Resorts
LONDON, August 13, 2015 – As of 11th August 2015, Pontwelly Holding Company Ltd (Pontwelly) has become the owner of Aman hotel business (Silverlink Resorts Ltd) in full satisfaction of the debt finance provided to Aman Resorts Group Ltd (ARGL). This leaves Pontwelly as the 100% owner of Aman Hotels. Under this restructure the current Chairman of Aman, Mr Vladislav Doronin and Board Director, Mr Alan Djanogly, remain as the only two directors.
Aman was founded in 1988 with the vision of building a collection of intimate retreats with the unassuming, warm hospitality of a gracious private home. The first, Amanpuri (place of peace) in Phuket, Thailand, introduced the concept and, since then, Aman has grown to encompass 32 exquisitely serene hotels and resorts in 20 destinations across the world, with a further nine under construction. The next Aman to open will be Aman New York (2020). The introduction of Aman Skincare in 2018 continued the holistic journey beyond the perimeters of Aman’s havens. Offering a soothing journey to a place of beautifully scented repose and respite, Aman Skincare represents the spirit of Aman in a bottle. In 2020, Aman welcomed a new hotel brand, Janu - meaning ‘soul’ in Sanskrit. Janu offers a unique take on hospitality where genuine human interaction, playful expression and social wellness are at the core of the experience. Janu aims to bring balance to the head and heart and rekindle the soul. Janu launches with three forthcoming hotels which are already under construction: Montenegro (2022), Al Ula in Saudi Arabia (2022) and Tokyo (2022), as well as a robust pipeline of future hotels. Janu Montenegro will be the first hotel to incorporate the brands serviced residence concept, enabling guests to wholly embrace the Janu lifestyle. www.amanresorts.com
