Golf
Playa Grande Golf Course is a truly magnificent course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr and refreshed by his son, Rees Jones. The views of the sea and the mountains are amazing, with ten of the eighteen holes played on ocean bluffs. Resident pro, Julio Santos provides private classes to improve your game, while getaways for groups and private tournaments are available on this superb course.
Luxury Beach
'Bella' Playa Grande is, without doubt, big and beautiful - in fact, this sublime stretch of sands is one of the region's best. The hotel operates a number of non-motorised watersports, including surfing, snorkelling, paddleboarding and kayaking.
Luxury Family Holidays
Children of all ages are welcome, with dedicated clubs for kids and teens, offering a range of entertaining and educational activities such as arts and crafts, nature excursions and discovery walks along forest rails and beaches. A babysitting service is also available, payable locally.
Romance
Amanera is a seaside hideaway just perfect for couples, whether you plan to tour the fairways, explore the coastal trails on foot or horseback, or dip into island culture. There's so much to see and do in and around the resort, if that's what you fancy. Or, perhaps it's your honeymoon and you simply want to stretch out by a private pool or on that show-stopping beach. Romance packages are sometimes on offer, featuring special touches such as petal turndown, spa treatments for two, dancing lessons, candlelit dinners and so on.
Spa Breaks
Aman Spa provides a relaxing oasis for guests, offering wellness treatments inspired by local shamanic healing traditions. There are three double treatment rooms, plus the option to enjoy quality holistic therapies in your Casita. There's also a gym with weights, treadmills, cardiovascular and strength-training equipment, exercise bikes and elliptical cross trainers. Pilates and yoga are available, as is a personal trainer, for an additional cost.
Wildlife Encounters
Just east of Amanera is the natural deep-water port of Samana, a location where Humpback Whales visit during their annual migration from mid-January to mid-March. Plan your stay around this time and embrace this rare opportunity to witness these incredible forty-tonne creatures flippering, lobtailing and breaching. The Dominican Republic is home to one of the world's biggest Humpback breeding sanctuaries and the courting songs of males can be heard for miles around. An unforgettable experience that's sure to leave a lasting impression.
