WELLNESS The resort’s expansive spa overlooks a reflection pond with multiple treatment pavilions, a wellness studio, a yoga sala, and aqua therapeutic pool lined with sun loungers. Treatments range from Thai massages and reflexology to grounding face rituals incorporating Peruvian black mud and amethyst crystal. Aman’s own line of all-natural skincare is an absolute dream, with body balms, fragrant dew mists, and anti-ageing serums that are made of ingredients collected from around the world, including pearls, healing tree oils, jade, and wild-harvested Amazon butters. There are also tailored wellness programs and workshops from meditation to acupuncture and medical body composition assessments. The result is a full relaxation of the body, mind and soul. For a more private setting, you can also indulge in an impressive menu of treatments and holistic programs from your own villa. ACTIVITIES Activities available at Amanyara cover all the bases: exercise, relaxation, exploration, and fun for the kids. From lounging at the beach or pool to snorkeling and scuba diving, horse-riding along the coastline, watersports, mountain biking, or a private yacht charter–possibilities for discovery are endless both on and off property. The Amanyara private beach spans 2,625 feet of white sand and is equipped with paddle boards, sea bobs, kayaks and Hobie Cat sailboats–plus a house snorkel boat that transports guests to the reef (only 5 minutes away) filled with beautiful coral and tropical fish. From February to April, you can spot the humpback whale migration just offshore. Golf carts and house bikes are available all around the resort grounds so you can explore solo, or sign up for a guided nature walk along the coast to learn about the native plants and animals. The property also has clay tennis courts, pickleball courts, a soccer field, volleyball court, basketball, an indoor game room, a boxing studio, and a fully equipped fitness center. Fitness pros are available to play with and teach guests, and activities across all facilities are routinely planned where guests can reserve spots to join in the fun. If you are bringing children along, the property has an impressive Nature Discovery Center that includes a kid’s pool, a jungle gym and clubhouse, and is staffed with counselors who offer engaging environmental programs ranging from critter safaris and nature photography, to cave tours, art projects and turtle conservancy initiatives. PROGRAMMING The property always has special programs throughout the year for guests to immerse in, from wellness retreats to cooking classes, movie nights and tennis tournaments. The upcoming schedule is packed full of options including the Align & Restore Pilates Retreat with Erika Bloom from November 14-18 that will feature twice-daily sessions focused on her pioneering Wellness Method, plus additional private sessions. The Amanyara Legends program from November 16-19 will bring former World No. 11 tennis professional turned pickleball pro Sam Querrey to host daily clinics. A Clase Azul tequila pop up from November 20-22 will feature specialty cocktails, a sunset tasting experience and private masterclass with food pairings, and Macallan will host an exclusive program from December 27-29 with private tastings and custom menus pairings.
