Amanera Resort – Caribbean Clifftop Luxury with Nature, Wellness, and Celebration
Where jungle meets ocean, Amanera Resort sits on a dramatic clifftop above the golden sweep of Playa Grande. This sanctuary on the Dominican Republic’s north coast blends modernist architecture with raw Caribbean nature, offering a deeply personal luxury escape – from curated wellness rituals to intimate event venues by the sea.
