We had a terrific long weekend at Amanyara. Our villa was secluded and beautiful. The common area was spacious and well equipped. The private infinity pool was warm and the tranquil views looked over a small waterway/lake that felt more like a nature reserve than a resort. The outdoor shower was a favorite. Oscar was more than accommodating. The whole resort feels private. Though it was at full capacity we didn’t see many other people most days. If you are a fan of people watching on vacay - this place might disappoint. Breakfast in the main restaurant was delicious and had a wide variety of choices. Good lunch at Beach Club - the pizza and Greek salad were fresh and delicious. We had our final dinner in the villa - the homemade Thai cuisine was at the top of the best we’ve had. The beach was beautiful. Water looks fake it’s so clean and blue. Pics don’t do it justice. No issues getting chaise chairs and towels. Sunscreen and aloe are available at the beach entrance. We loved riding the bikes and took the golf cart out a few times too. We had some rain and there were large golf umbrellas available everywhere. Tennis and pickle courts, gym and Pilates studio were all top notch. The only complaint was that the snorkeling boat left without us despite arriving to the meeting spot a few mins early. Must have been a miscommunication between Oscar and the crew but they couldn’t explain why they left. Unfortunately we never got to go due to our schedule. Overall a magical place. Highly recommend for a tranquil retreat.

In general Amanyara is our favorite place to disconnect, reset, and truly enjoy life. We have visited many times over the past couple of years, and every single stay reinforces why we keep coming back. Our most recent visit in November was once again exceptional and deeply personal. Not only was the entire trip organized flawlessly from A to Z, but we were also generously upgraded—together with our close friends—which speaks volumes about the thoughtfulness, recognition, and genuine care of the team. Every evening felt unique, with different dinners each night, perfectly executed and tailored, never repetitive. The service throughout the resort is first-class in the truest sense—effortless, intuitive, warm, and never intrusive. This is hospitality at the highest level. The beach The crystal clear waters of Malcom beach, its snorkeling and the reef in swimming distance directly in front of the property is simply outstanding. The major advantage is it’s location, since it’s on the western part of the island, the current always passes and pushes potential sargassum out and it’s there flawless all year around! Rooms & Pavilions The rooms and pavilions are exceptionally designed—spacious, serene, and timeless, with absolute privacy. Everything feels intentional, from the layout to the materials, and the connection between indoor and outdoor space is seamless. The pavilions never feel like hotel rooms; they feel like private residences designed for calm and comfort. Cleanliness & Maintenance Cleanliness is impeccable throughout the entire property. Every detail is well maintained, yet nothing ever feels clinical or overdone. The resort manages to feel pristine while remaining warm and lived-in—an extremely difficult balance that Amanyara executes flawlessly. Value & Pricing While Amanyara is undeniably costly, it is worth the price. You are not paying for excess—you are paying for consistency, discretion, space, privacy, and people who truly care. The value becomes evident in the seamless organization, the quality of service, and the fact that everything simply works, every single time. Noise Level & Atmosphere The overall atmosphere is one of deep tranquility—quiet, peaceful, and restorative. This is not a loud or party-driven resort. That said, there is a beautiful sense of life and rhythm: live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays adds warmth and character without ever disturbing the serenity. It enhances the experience rather than detracts from it. Adults & Families Amanyara is exceptional for adults seeking peace, privacy, and refinement, but it is also wonderfully suited for visits with children. The space, safety, nature, and thoughtful staff make it easy to enjoy the resort as a family—without compromising the calm that adult guests value so highly. Amenities The amenities are outstanding, including a world-class Technogym setup, which allows us to keep our routine while still fully relaxing. What truly sets Amanyara apart, however, is its people. The staff is extraordinary—many of whom have been here for 20+ years, a testament to how well the local team is respected, valued, and cared for. That culture is felt everywhere. The General Manager, Tom, whom we are proud to call a personal friend, leads with authenticity, generosity, and passion, and it shows in every detail of the guest experience. Special thanks to Uri, Annette, Claudin, and Madrine—your warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness are a big part of why this place feels like home to us. Amanyara is not just a resort. It is a sanctuary. A place where everything feels right, every time. We cannot imagine a better destination to disconnect, recharge, and create lasting memories—and we already look forward to our next visit. Best, Stefan
