Casa Grande
Amanera’s centrepiece dining spot Casa Grande sits on dramatic 60ft cliffs, raised between mountains, rainforest and sea. True to Amanera’s name – which combines the Sanskrit word for ‘peace’ and the local Taíno term for ‘water’ – the indoor-outdoor restaurant nudges against tranquil infinity-edge waterways, making the most of arched Atlantic views. Island-inspired dishes also reflect the all-encompassing ocean setting. A separate Casa Grande dining pavilion can be booked for private events and intimate occasions.

Beach Club
Laid back and lapped by the ocean, the Beach Club rests on a sandy cove of peaceful Playa Grande, lulled by the somnambulant sound of the sea. Enjoy sandside views of the Atlantic from expansive decks and lounging areas, dine on local Latin flavours, or design a private-dining experience come evening in partnership with Amanera’s team.
