The only way to reach Amanwana is by flying in. That idyllic seclusion lends itself to long days of lounging on the beach, napping on your private deck, and playing in (or below) the warm seas.
EXPERIENCE
Amanwana is on a tropical Indonesian island, not far from Bali. Well, not far geographically, but the experience is far away from the discos and busy beaches of the mainland. This is deliciously serene seclusion, with nothing around for miles except jungle, sand, and ocean.
The entire island is a nature reserve and the only way to reach Amanwana is by plane. Once there, though, life is anything but primitive. You'll sleep in romantic, luxurious tents, each juxtaposed against a canopy of greenery. They're big, too - almost 600 sq. ft. and partially open to the warm air. Outside, a stone deck provides the perfect place to take in the sights and sounds of the jungle.
Fresh seafood and tropical fruit are mainstays of the gourmet meals served in the dining room. And some of that fruit might even end up in the cocktails you sip at the open-air beachfront bar. For a spectacular diving and snorkeling site, look no further than the calm waters right in front of the resort.

LOCATION
East of Bali, lies the large Indonesian island of Sumbawa. And just 10 miles off its coast is the relatively tiny Moyo Island. And that's where you'll find Amanwana. The entire island is a nature reserve, as are its surrounding waters. You'll fly from Bali's Denpasar Airport aboard a float plane. After a 60-minute flight, the plane lands in the cove directly in front of Amanwana. Guests can also choose a 3.5 hour helicopter flight from Bali, to a landing pad at the resort.
