This is a nature-lover's paradise, with views of turquoise-hued waters and manicured palm trees at every turn, coupled with signature Aman hospitality. As you would expect from Aman, Adrian Zecha found the perfect position to build Amanyara overlooking pristine reefs and surrounded by protected parkland of the Northwest Point Marine Park.

Amanyara's 1 and 2 bedroom Pavilions nestle into the landscape, many overlooking half a mile of powder-soft sand beach. An 'open-to-nature' architectural theme provides sweeping vistas and a sense of being one with nature. All have generously proportoned bedrooms with sitting areas and ensuite bathrooms with freestanding tubs. Outside there are expansive private terraces with sitting and dining areas and some have private pools.

Pavilions are positioned with views across tranquil ponds or with ocean or cove views, while Pool Pavilions have private infinity pools, teak decking and sun loungers. 

Family Villas

Amanyara's Villas provide families with privacy and plenty of internal and outdoor space, with a choice of beach or tranquility settings. All feature stunning black infinity pools with hardwood decking and views over reflective ponds and private gardens. There is a choice of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas, each  with indoor and al fresco dining, serviced by personal cooks and housekeepers. 

Service throughout the resort is second-to-none in the Caribbean, with Aman's Asian roots providing discreet friendly assistance when you need it, without ever becoming overbearing.

Cuisine is focussed on freshness with catch-of-the-day featured on every menu and vegetables picked from Amanyara's own vegetable garden. The Beach Club serves a variety of raw specialities and other dishes baked in a stone hearth oven. Romantic, candlelit dinners can be arranged in the cove, served by a personal butler.
