Amanera
‘Pristine Sands, Vibrant Jungle’
Welcome to Aman's first hotel in the Dominican Republic; Amanera, which means 'peaceful water'. This is the first ever golf-integrated Aman resort, and is set on the idyllic north coast of the island, offering breathtaking ocean views. This area enjoys a tropical climate year-round and Amanera boasts a spectacular beach front location between the glistening waters and golden sands of Playa Grande and the rugged, lush landscape of the Caribbean jungle. Enchanted by the luxurious Aman spirit, dining is exquisite, while rooms are not short of modern amenities, such as iPod docking stations and flat screen TV’s, as well as ample indoor and outdoor living space, with many Casitas offering private pools and uninterrupted ocean vistas. Children of all ages are welcome, with kids and teens clubs providing a variety of activities, and private lessons on offer for tennis, golf, and water-sports for any age and ability. Adults may unwind on the on-site Aman Spa, with two treatments rooms and an extensive list of relaxing treatments available, while those seeking a more active holiday may enjoy the Playa Grande’s 370 acre golf course stretching across the dramatic coastline, or one of the land and ocean excursions including canyoning, horse riding and boat trips.
In Our Opinion
‘Encompassed by more than 400 acres of protected nature reserve, and featuring an incredible golf course, Amanera is the ideal location for golfers, and for horse riding, biking, hiking and canyoning.’
