Beneath the rainforest canopy of Bosque Húmedo, off the northern Dominican coast, lies Amanera. A luxury resort that is part of the Aman collection of luxury retreats and residences, their mission focuses on providing spiritual and physical renewal coupled with the remote serenity of nature. Amanera comprises 25 private casitas dotted along the shoreline with unobstructed views of Playa Grande in Rio San Juan, where the rustling of 100-year-old trees and crashing of turquoise blue oceans lulls visitors into a state of reverie. Aman's premier resort in Rio San Juan boasts the best of all worlds. The privacy of towering mountains and lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and personalized service shares no competition. Each casita comes equipped with portable speakers, complimentary toiletries, robes, mini bar, spacious walk-in closet, double vanity bathroom, and a king size bed. While the casitas average 829 square feet, the interiors feel cohesive and customizable. Upon entering a casita, the rooms feel massive. Due to their oversized windows and distinctly wooden design, interiors offer visual warmth and a spiritual connection to nature without the overstimulation of bright artificial textiles, artwork, or furniture. Separate indoor- outdoor living and lounging spaces all feature floor-to-ceiling windows and massive sliding doors, which allows as much privacy per room as desired. Guests can order room service anytime via the 24-hour WhatsApp guest services chat, where the residence staff provide fast and seamless service. Amanera's pool casitas are a one-of-a-kind experience, featuring plenty of lounge chairs, sofas, and a cozy outdoor dining nook. It's the perfect place to spend days and nights without ever needing to step out to Casa Grande. VUENJ.COM 59
