PB hotel design editorial

Perched above a headland on the Dominican Republic's largely undeveloped north coast, where the Atlantic meets a stretch of jungle-fringed coastline near Cabrera, Amanera opened in 2015 as Aman Resorts' first property in the Caribbean. The architects drew on a quietly Japanese sensibility — the same formal language Ed Tuttle refined across Aman's earliest properties — translated here through warm teak millwork, woven bamboo screens, deep overhanging rooflines, and limestone floors that carry the pale, honeyed tone of local coral stone. The 25 casitas are arranged across the hillside as low-slung pavilions, each with its own plunge pool, the architecture dissolving the boundary between interior and ocean view through full-height sliding glass walls framed in dark-stained timber. Inside, the rooms achieve something close to inhabited calm rather than designed spectacle — platform beds with integrated teak surrounds, vertical timber slat screens filtering afternoon light, and built-in joinery detailed with the kind of precision that makes furniture and architecture feel continuous. The main pavilion's restaurant frames the water through a full wall of timber-framed glass, while the terrace infinity pool extends the horizontal line of the roofline straight toward the horizon. At dusk, when the amber cove lighting catches the teak columns and the Atlantic turns violet below, the property earns its place in the lineage of Aman openings that genuinely changed the register of what resort architecture could feel like.

"Amanera completely blew me away. This was my second Aman (the first was Amanyara), and while both are stunning, the warmth, care, and attention to detail at Amanera was on another level. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty everything felt peaceful, easy, and luxurious in the most understated way. Lionel (the GM) made us feel so welcome, and the staff were beyond exceptional. Wellington and Angel were absolute stars some of the best service I’ve ever had anywhere. Gustavo made check-out smooth and stress-free, and even our airport driver was kind and professional. We had a few private dinners the casita BBQ, a beach dinner, and one in the library in total chef’s kiss moments that made the trip feel extra special. The only small downside is the beach it’s beautiful, but the waves are strong, so it’s better for confident swimmers. I was told there’s a calm beach five minutes away, but I was so relaxed at the resort I didn’t want to leave. Hands down, the most memorable and relaxing stay I’ve ever had in the Caribbean. Also the food was delisshhh (breakfast and lunch being my faves) which is shocking compared to some other Caribbean resorts I’ve been to IYKYK I’ll be back Aman has a guest for life"

"We always wanted to stay at an Aman resort to see what all the buzz was about - well now we know...The experience -- and that is the word....-- was amazing from beginning to end. Everything is wonderful... we cannot think of a single negative to say only glowing positives. First of all the staff -- everyone is so professional and so focused on "getting it right" for us. Every thing is geared to ensure maximal comfort for the guests. I have to say, it took a bit of time for us to get used to the concept of being shuttled around and pampered.... but we did get used to it and boy did we love it. EVERY part of the experience was amazing... where do I begin. The SPA - what a treat.... the GOLF ... every comfort you can want. Meals - everything we ate was wonderful and all the drinks as well. Yes... this is not an inexpensive excursion but boy is it worth it.... I am sold on the Aman brand..."

"We just love the entire experience ! There is no signage for the property and as such you have a feeling of a remote, lush property. The chic , open air architecture, the fabulous suites.. the drama of wild windswept ocean all contribute to an amazing sense of place… The staff is congenial and top notch. Lionel the GM is omnipresent. Service outstanding. I love the little gifts they leave in your room when you return from dinner! We love to swim so we would walk to the public beach where the water is less challenging. It’s a lovely daily hike. I love to shop so I wish the gift shop was more varied. There are some Dominican products but mostly the Aman line of clothes and products which are not interesting. Had great massages at the spa!"
