Amanera

Perched above the golden sands of the legendary Playa Grande Beach on the Dominican Republic’s pristine north coast, Amanera’s dramatic location offers guests a secluded sanctuary as well as exciting access to the island’s great outdoors.

Dotting the lush coastline is a collection of luxury casitas, each boasting light, spacious interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows and unobstructed ocean views. Outside you will find sun-drenched terraces with outdoor dining and lounging areas shaded by overhanging eaves, plus a selection of the casitas also feature private pools that provide refreshing additions. For families, the two-bedroom Bay View Casa is the resort’s premier accommodation offering ample space, panoramic views and a private swimming pool. Feast alfresco on the terrace of the Casa Grande’s Main Restaurant, serving fresh and organic Caribbean and Mediterranean dishes, or head down to the beach for lunch at the Beach Club, tucked into a sandy cove. Take in the sunset as you sip evening sundowners at the Lounge Bar, which is also a fabulous spot for enjoying complimentary afternoon tea. Experience the tranquil indulgence of the cliff top spa at Amanera, offering restorative treatments, or the peace and calm of sunrise and sunset Yoga on the beach. Explore the island wildlife on guided jungle hikes, play golf nearby or learn about the island’s historical treasures during cultural excursions.
