"Nestled within the pristine Caribbean jungle, the Bali-inspired Amanera boasts gorgeous casitas, a dramatic golf course and one of the region’s most beautiful beaches."

Nestled within acres and acres of pristine Caribbean jungle, the Bali-inspired Amanera overlooks the ocean from Playa Grande, whose golden sands make it one of the region’s most beautiful beaches. It’s a two-hour drive from the capital, Santo Domingo, and about an hour and a half drive from both Puerto Plata and El Catey Samaná international airports.

The glass-and-teak main house highlights the nature all around, as do the 25 casitas (little houses) and the unique two-bedroom, clifftop villa; most feature personal pools facing the sands with unobstructed ocean views. Overhanging eaves shade expansive terraces with outdoor dining and lounging areas, while inside, the floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead to rooms that are specially positioned to maximise views. All casitas feature lofty ceilings and warm wooden finishes.

The resort has just one main restaurant, Casa Grande, where locally-inspired dishes are sure to please, plus laid-back beachfront dining on Latin cuisine with quiet cove views at the Beach Club. The Lounge Bar offers panoramic ocean views as a backdrop to your complimentary afternoon tea, and private dining can be arranged beside a beach bonfire for a memorable night. If you’re looking to truly dive into local flavours, you can sign up for a ceviche-making class with the resort’s head chef and join a rum masterclass that concludes with making signature cocktails and enjoying fine cigars.

Of note, guests lucky enough to be here between January and March may catch sight of a Humpback whale as they migrate to nearby Samaná Bay between January and March.

Sporting offerings include tennis, watersports, expeditions into the protected tropical jungle led by naturalists, canyoning and waterfall rappelling. There are also yoga sessions offered every morning and a gym where a personal trainer can be organised to inspire you to go the extra mile. The Wellness Casa also offers a variety of spa treatments that may also be arranged in the privacy of your casita should you prefer.
