Vlad Doronin
Vlad Doronin is an accomplished international investor and real estate developer of luxury residential, commercial and hospitality properties. With over 30 years of experience, he has collaborated with the best architects and designers in the world to develop over 80 million square feet of world-class multipurpose space across 84 buildings.
Under his leadership, OKO Group, the US-based real estate development company he founded in 2015, is developing an expanding portfolio of residential and commercial properties in the United States and internationally. Key projects include: 830 Brickell, a Class A+ office tower in Miami’s Brickell Financial District, as well as luxury residential projects such as Missoni Baia, the first luxury residential project by Italian fashion house Missoni in Edgewater, Miami, and Una Residences, a 47-story luxury waterfront tower in Miami’s Brickell neighbourhood.
As owner, Chairman and CEO of Aman, a distinguished collection of 35 resorts, hotels, and private residences, Mr. Doronin has prioritized Aman’s financial health and operational efficiency, driving the brand’s value to $3 billion in 2022. Reinforcing his commitment to the brand with real estate investments in 18 of the Aman properties, Mr. Doronin’s strategy to open in major global gateway cities to further expand its resort collection in urban form resulted in the successful launch of Aman Tokyo in 2014 and Aman New York in the iconic Crown Building in 2022.
In addition, Aman continues to expand its global footprint with an extensive pipeline of future destinations currently under planning and development. Recent openings include Aman Nai Lert Bangkok and Aman Rosa Alpina in the Dolomites, both open in 2025. Upcoming projects include Amanvari, the first Aman destination in Mexico; Aman Miami Beach and Aman Beverly Hills in the US; Aman Niseko in Japan; Aman AlUla and Amansamar in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Aman Dubai in the UAE; and Aman Maldives.
Vlad Doronin’s vision and pioneering spirit also sparked the launch of Janu, Aman’s sibling brand, focused on driving meaningful connections among guests and residents, further adding value to Aman Group by reaching new markets and guest demographics. Janu Tokyo successfully launched to critical acclaim in 2024, with additional Janu hotels currently under construction in Montenegro, AlUla and Diriyah in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, South Korea, Maldives, Thailand, Turks & Caicos Islands, Turkey and more.
