The Aman Philosophy

Peace and Water on the Atlantic Cliffs

Offering breathtaking ocean panoramas, Amanera derives its name from the Sanskrit word for peace (aman) and the indigenous Taino word for water (era). Perched dramatically atop dramatic 60-foot limestone cliffs overlooking the crescent golden sands of Playa Grande beach and framed by the emerald Cordillera Septentrional mountain range, Amanera is an ultra-exclusive retreat on the Dominican Republic's unspoiled northern coastline.

Designed with understated organic elegance by award-winning architects, the resort's 25 freestanding casitas seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls, warm Indonesian teak ceilings, and handcrafted Aguayo tile terraces feature private swimming pools that mirror the Atlantic's shifting blues.

Amanera is the first golf-integrated property in Aman's global portfolio, granting guests privileged access to the legendary Rees Jones-renovated Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club—a course celebrated as the "Pebble Beach of the Caribbean" with 10 holes played directly atop oceanfront cliffs. Beyond golf, guests can explore jungle nature reserves, take private surf lessons, and indulge in moonlit Taino healing rituals at the Wellness Casa.
