Amanera (Dominican Republic)

It would be amiss not to share one of Aman's Caribbean outposts. Situated on the coast of the Dominican Republic is Amanera. Contemporary cliffside casitas, tennis courts ripe for golden hour matches, Aman Spa (try the sage-infused body wrap), and two ambrosial dining establishments are just a sample of what this sanctuary has to offer (and really to no surprise, Aman is one of the world's most luxe hospitality brands). Here, a private slice of Playa Grande beach remains exclusive to hotel guests, so you can lounge seaside sans crowds and crowd-induced cacophonies, leaving an unobstructed soundtrack of crashing waves and tropical trees ruffling from intervallic Caribbean breezes.
