Backed by the lush jungle foliage of Moyo Island’s National Park on the shores of the Flores Sea, Amanwana’s permanent tented Suites pair a genuine wilderness experience with modern luxury. Meaning “peaceful forest,” the camp’s 17 safari-style tents sit under a canopy of tropical rainforest or overlook the ocean, offering an abundance of contemporary comforts amid elegant decor and Indonesian art. As the only resort on Moyo Island, an officially protected National Park east of Bali, Amanwana’s own Dive Centre provides unparalleled access to some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in Indonesia, while inland the island boasts cascading waterfalls, hidden caves and a wealth of birdlife.
The resort’s own garden produces many of the vegetables, fruits and herbs used in the kitchen, whilst fresh seafood is delivered directly from the fisherman’s boats, with dishes featuring traditional Indonesian flavours and the best of island cooking.
The rainbow colours of dusk offer an occasion to try a new cocktail from the bar, or enjoy a secluded sundowner from Sunset Point, atop the volcanic ridge with uninterrupted and sweeping views of the horizon.
An open-air spa incorporating a massage table, shower and sunken bathtub directly on the beachfront, offering treatments such as a sea-salt scrub with an hour-long massage incorporating local Moyo honey.
Treatments are also available in a dedicated spa tent or within guests’ own private tents, drawing on Aman’s signature rituals and locally inspired therapies.
