The natural paradise of Amanwana is the only resort on the beautiful Moyo Island. Overlooking the turquoise waters of Amanwana Bay—a protected marine park—this wilderness retreat offers full-board accommodation in just twelve luxurious guest tents and unparalleled access to some of Indonesia's best diving and snorkeling. The eco-friendly tents feature hardwood floors and towering, air-conditioned canopies that house chic daybeds, private bathrooms, and net-covered king-size beds. Experience the abundance of nature up close.
The Amanwana spa is a wilderness retreat surrounded by the turquoise waters and pristine reefs of the Flores Sea. Set amid the island's natural beauty, the spa was created specifically to combine Indonesian techniques with the best of East and West. The turquoise waters and pristine reefs of the Flores Sea are home to some of Indonesia's best diving and snorkeling spots, with night snorkeling excursions also available. On land, the hilly tropical forests are crisscrossed by hiking trails, home to the island's protected deer, macaques, and wild boars. Sailing, fishing, kayaking, and cruises are also available as activities.
Beneath the canopy of the tropical forest, the camp's twelve safari-style tents offer a wealth of modern amenities amid elegant décor and Indonesian art. As the name suggests, the Ocean Tent offers magnificent sea views, while the Jungle Tent lies beneath an exotic canopy of tropical forest. The eco-friendly tents feature hardwood floors and towering, air-conditioned canopies that house chic daybeds, private bathrooms, and net-covered king-size beds. Visits from friendly macaques and curious deer are not uncommon.
The restaurant, overlooking the Flores Sea, Medang Island, and the mountains of Sumbawa, serves fresh and simple cuisine, mostly made from local produce. The catch of the day, straight from the fishermen's boats, is a highlight of the daily menu, which can be tailored to individual tastes. The resort's garden provides most of the vegetables, fruits, and herbs used in the kitchen. The picturesque colors of dusk offer the opportunity to sample a refreshing cocktail from the bar or enjoy a sundowner at Sunset Point, which sits on the volcanic ridge and offers unobstructed views of the horizon.
Amanwana means "peaceful forest" – and indeed, there could hardly be a more fitting name for this unique resort on the unspoiled island of Moyo. The island is covered by a national park with dense forests and breathtaking waterfalls, and the local wildlife is also diverse and fascinating. In this paradise for wildlife lovers, Amanwana has built a camp with twelve safari tents in the middle of the rainforest and on the coast. Visits from friendly macaques and curious deer are not uncommon and give a glimpse of the abundance of nature to be found further inland or in the sea. Enjoy maximum privacy in your personal luxury tent, whose Aman-style interior with elegant wooden elements, regional artwork, and panoramic windows will delight you.
