DLF sold Aman Resorts to reduce its debt and refocus on real estate after it had expanded into hotels, wind farms, and running export processing zones.

Doronin assumed the position of chairman, and French hotelier Olivier Jolivet was appointed chief executive officer in 2014.

[12][13] In February 2017, Roland Fasel joined Aman as chief operating officer, continuing a 25-plus-year career in luxury hospitality.

In 2020, Doronin unveiled Janu, a spin-off brand that operates larger hotels in Japan, Montenegro, and Saudi Arabia, reportedly aiming to become a slightly more affordable complement to Aman.

All architectural records of the villa had been destroyed, but the discovery of an old tourist book with pictures of the building allowed the company to closely replicate what had been lost.
