52 Architectural Virtuosity Amanera, Playa Grande, Dominican Republic Backed by jungle, fronted by a sweep of Atlantic Ocean, Amanera enjoys a panoramic clifftop perch on the Dominican Republic’s pristine north coast beaches. Set above the celebrated golden sands of Playa Grande, the resort offers unparalleled access to water sports, challenging golf and back-to-nature experiences like guided jungle walks and hikes, infused with the spice and flavour of Dominican life. Amanera’s luxury 1-bedroom Casitas and 2-bedroom casas dot the lush Playa Grande coastline 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 specially positioned to maximise views. All Casitas feature lofty ceilings and warm wooden finishes, while a selection offer private swimming pools. Surrounded by lush gardens, Amanera’s twobedroom Bay View Casa (pictured below and right) offers guests an expansive 244m2 of accommodation in a prime position. At the heart of the casa, a private swimming pool, terrace dining area and expansive sundeck form a central space to gather and enjoy the Caribbean outdoor lifestyle. Open to guests and non-residents alike, Amanera’s dining venues showcase seasonal and sustainable local ingredients from the Dominican Republic combined with international techniques. Surveying the sea from the clifftop, Casa Grande caters to breakfast, lunch and dinner, complemented by a laidback lunch spot at the Beach Club down on the sand. Meanwhile the jungle-cocooned clifftop spa encompasses a menu of massages, facials, scrubs and wraps, as well as transformative signature Spa Journeys.
