Amanera
Dominican Republic
Amanera looks over Playa Grande from the Dominican Republic's north coast, where jungle meets a long sweep of golden sand. The resort's low, contemporary architecture allows the coastline to dominate, creating a sense of space that begins with the approach and continues through the stay. Individual casitas combine generous indoor rooms with terraces and broad ocean views. Many add private swimming pools, while the two-bedroom Casa provides an option for families or small groups wanting more independent living space beside the coast. Days can move between the beach, water-based activities and time exploring the surrounding landscape. Access to Playa Grande's golf facilities adds another dimension, while the resort's wellness offering provides a quieter counterpoint. Dining at Casa Grande and the Beach Club keeps the setting closely tied to the meal. Amanera is especially appealing to couples seeking privacy and travellers who want a coastal retreat with opportunities to be active. Its distinction lies in the meeting of carefully controlled design and a powerful natural setting, with the Atlantic always close at hand.
