Amanera means "peaceful waters" and welcomes you to the idyllic north coast of the Dominican Republic. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Cordillera Septentrional mountain range and the rainforest, the resort offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Perched on 18-meter-high cliffs, you can enjoy a luxury vacation with views of Playa Grande beach and the seemingly endless sea, as well as unparalleled access to water sports and nature experiences infused with the spice and flavor of Dominican life. Find ultimate relaxation at the Aman Spa or during moonlight yoga, or try your hand at exotic rhythms in bachata, merengue, and salsa.
Inspired by the shamanic healing traditions of the Taínos, the magnificent Aman Spa combines Caribbean plants and herbs with enriching natural blends from the Aman skincare range. Amanera's holistic approach includes numerous massages, facials, scrubs, and wraps, as well as transformative wellness journeys. Bring your body, mind, and spirit into balance with a moonlight yoga session, or experience the traditional rhythms of the Dominican Republic with a challenging dance session. Water sports activities include surfing, kayaking, or paddleboarding. Discover the island's wildlife on guided jungle hikes, or learn about colonial architecture and local fishing villages.
The 25 casitas at Amanera are located on the cliffs at the western end of Playa Grande and all offer stunning views of the ocean. Overhanging eaves shade spacious terraces with outdoor dining and lounge areas, while inside, floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead to rooms with exceptional views. All casitas feature high ceilings and warm wood finishes, and some even offer a private swimming pool. Surrounded by lush gardens, the Amanera Bay View Casa boasts two bedrooms, a pool, an outdoor dining area, a spacious sun deck, and a personal host who will ensure that your dream vacation runs smoothly.
The restaurants at Amanera offer seasonal and sustainable local ingredients combined with international techniques. The main restaurant, Casa Grande, delights guests with iconic panoramic views from every table. Drawing on the culinary traditions of the Dominican Republic, the chef offers a menu featuring fresh, organic flavors and delicately spiced, fragrant dishes. With your feet in the sand, enjoy local recipes and classic dishes from Latin and South America at the Beach Club, while the lounge offers a variety of options, from afternoon tea to evening sundowners to fascinating rum tastings.
Opened at the end of 2015, Amanera is already one of the most exclusive and sought-after luxury resorts in the Dominican Republic. Far away from mass tourism, the north coast offers the perfect conditions for you to relax and unwind in an exquisite setting. Thanks to its elevated position on a cliff, you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean stretching out before your eyes. The freestanding casitas, surrounded by palm trees, feature glass walls and floor-to-ceiling windows, a large terrace, and a private garden. The interior design is handcrafted and, true to the brand, inspires with contemporary design that meets Caribbean flair.
