Aman Group is moving from hotel design into athletic performance. On November 10, the group unveiled ATMA, a brand built around sport, wellness and longevity. Tennis champion Novak Djokovic is its Global Partner, and the first project is a 1,049-foot miami wellness tower rising in Miami.
What ATMA Miami will include
ATMA Miami combines a hotel, branded residences, an invitation-only private members club and a 120,000-square-foot spa and wellness center. The development sits in Brickell, the financial district of Miami, and will be completed in 2031.
Djokovic will lead the brand’s longevity, nutrition, racquet and wellness programming. The goal is to bring parts of an elite athlete’s training and recovery routine into everyday life. He said in a statement: “true performance is built on balance, where training, recovery, nutrition and mental wellbeing work together to support longevity and sustained excellence.”
ATMA translates from Sanskrit as “the spirit” or “the true self.” The brand will operate in both urban and remote settings, with Miami as its first location.
Hotels that double as design statements are part of a wider trend, and a Paris example shows how creative hospitality can feel distinctly local. Hôtel Massé’s Creative Parisian Hotel in Pigalle is worth a click for its artistic collaborations.
Design and location of the miami wellness tower
The tower will rise at 1111 Brickell Bay Drive, alongside the five-mile Baywalk promenade. A private marina adjoins the property, giving residents and guests direct access to the water. Developers OKO Group and Oak Row Equities are building the project.
SHoP Architects designed the building as a sculptural form on a landscaped podium. Curved balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows wrap its exterior. The firm’s earlier work includes 111 West 57th Street in New York.
Studio Paolo Ferrari designed the interiors. The scheme pairs biomorphic forms with furniture shaped to the human body. Lighting and ambience will adjust to the circadian rhythms of residents and guests.
Wellness and training space in the miami wellness tower
The 120,000-square-foot spa and wellness center is expected to rank among the largest in Miami. Its racquet club will have nine courts, including indoor tennis and padel courts that overlook Biscayne Bay.
The center will also hold a high-performance fitness center, private and group training studios, mobility and conditioning labs, a medical wellness center and dedicated recovery spaces. Six nutrition-focused dining destinations will sit alongside bars with live music and event spaces.
Sculptural massing paired with planted rooftops is another theme in this project, and a Shenzhen museum shows how greenery can soften bold architecture. Shenzhen Museum Blending Sculpture and Rooftop Gardens offers a useful comparison.
Residences and club access
Residences range from one to five bedrooms, with six-bedroom penthouses at the top of the building. Owners will have access to a private pool, fitness and yoga studios, thermal spa facilities, a residents’ lounge and a co-working space.
Owners also receive priority nomination to the ATMA Club, a global network of private clubs that debuts at ATMA Miami. Members get access to dining, wellbeing and lounge spaces, plus the racquet club.
What the launch means for Aman
Aman Group operates 36 hotels, resorts and branded residences across 21 destinations. It has launched a brand before. Janu debuted in 2020, and Janu Tokyo opened in March 2024.
Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin describes ATMA as “a new awakening in hospitality.” The group’s 38 years of design and service standards in luxury hospitality now extend into sport and longevity. The tower will show whether that approach can work outside the group’s resort model. The brand’s website, atma.com, lists the project’s details as they are released.
