Amanwana

Overview
A stylish wilderness retreat that is perfect for nature-lovers and scuba-divers.

A unique ‘tented’ resort, Amanwana occupies a secluded corner of the designated wildlife reserve of Moyo Island.

Recreational facilities include a dipping pool, massage centre, PADI dive centre and boats for beach picnics and starlit cruises.

Accommodation
The camp’s 20 luxury tents are set under a canopy of tropical forest. Each tent is partially enclosed by a solid wall. There is a soft waterproof external roof and a separate canvas interior. A coral-stone deck surrounds each tent, while inside features banks of windows, Indonesian island artwork, a sitting area with facing divans and a large bathroom.

Sand paths link the tents to one another and lead to the beach, the dining room and reception. There are two room categories – Ocean-Front Tent and Jungle Tent. The only difference between the two is whether you prefer to be closer to the ocean or the jungle.

Restaurants
The Dining Room and Bar are located in an open-air pavilion facing the sea. Indonesian hardwood flooring and solid coconut pillars support the tropical structure. A selection of Asian and Western food is served at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In season, a regular alfresco barbecue is available, as are Campfire dinners.

Recreation
Snorkelling equipment, windsurfers, kayaks and hobie-cats are available from the thatched-roof 'bale' close to the boardwalk, while a freshwater dipping pool is set against a wall of coral rock. A variety of superb dive spots are easily accessible from Amanwana. Guests can organise their underwater programme at the Dive Centre, which also offers a range of equipment.

The Jungle Cove Spa is just off the beach and under shady tamarind trees. Simple coral-stone walls divide the outdoor centre into three treatment areas, each including a recessed soaking tub and a shower. Enjoy a massage, a fresh-fruit facial or a Borneo body scrub while watching the clouds gather about distant Mount Rinjani.
