Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star

Character and identity

Amanera sits on 2,000 private acres above Playa Grande on the Dominican Republic's quieter north shore, with just 25 casitas spread across a clifftop estate that includes its own mountain, hiking trails and a vast golden beach. The Bali-inflected casitas are large and richly crafted, with private pools and outdoor showers. Main building Casa Grande, designed by London's Heah & Co., wraps a sculptural pool around the hillside. The cliff-edge Rees Jones golf course has ten coastal holes and a five-hole oceanfront finale. Restaurants, bars and the lobby infinity pool are oversized; service is friendly and well drilled.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and design-minded travellers chasing seclusion, big landscapes and very low guest density. Golfers will find one of the Caribbean's finest courses on the doorstep, but the property works equally well for non-golfers drawn to private-beach days, guided hikes to a thatched mountain lookout, yoga, kite surfing or deep-sea fishing.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone who wants a buzzy resort scene, walkable nightlife or easy onward exploration: the location is genuinely remote and the atmosphere is deliberately empty. Families seeking a structured kids' programme and travellers who like a packed bar or multiple late-night dining options will find it too still.

Bottom line

The defining feature here is engineered emptiness: 25 casitas across 2,000 acres mean the beach, pools and restaurants feel like yours alone, and that solitude (plus the cliff-edge golf) is what justifies the rate. Book a casita with a private pool, come for at least four nights to absorb the remoteness, and add the VIP arrival transfer given the drive from the airport.
