Inspired by the shamanic healing traditions of the Taínos, the jungle-cocooned clifftop spa combines Caribbean plants and herbs with enriching natural blends from the Aman Skincare range. Amanera’s holistic approach encompasses a menu of massages, facials, scrubs and wraps, as well as transformative signature Spa Journeys.
Designed to nourish the individual in body, mind and spirit, this immersive three-hour spa experience incorporates three rituals, each developed to cleanse, restore and re-empower. It begins with a body scrub and wrap using jade powder, calendula oil and Himalayan salts to stimulate circulation and soften the skin, followed by a deeply relaxing full-body massage to dissipate muscular tension, and ending with a soothing face ritual that leaves the skin rebalanced and radiant.
The Papaya Oat Wrap is an anti-inflammatory body wrap promotes healthy skin and reduces signs of ageing due to its abundance of minerals and vitamins such as A, C and E. The ingredients are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, which destroy free radicals and prevent further damage. While you are cocooned, a fresh banana honey mask is applied in a stimulating facial massage.

Experience the traditional rhythms of the Dominican Republic with a fitness-boosting dance session with Amanera’s expert instructor.
