Development strategy
• The strength of the Aman brand
• Amanwana, on the private island Nature Reserve of Moyo, makes a unique destination and offers unparalleled guest experiences
• Remote location, secluded beach
• High privacy, with no other resort, business or public place around, and the nearest community about an hour’s walk from Amanwana.
• Deer, monkey and birds are just some of the wildlife around the camp, that guests can see every day.
• Nature Conservation; deer breeding, turtle hatching, and coral reef protection, as well as community projects, are supported by the camp’s foundation
• Nature Activities, such as a waterfall excursion, ridge walk, snorkelling, diving, cycling and fishing provide guests the opportunity to explore the island and surroundings.
• Un-spoilt dive sites with vast amounts of marine life, only minutes from the resort.
• A dedicated Spa Tent, with double treatment beds, air conditioning and bath facilities, as well as the open-air Jungle Cove Spa (with one double-treatment area and two single-treatment areas) provide a unique and relaxing atmosphere for guests to enjoy Aman Signature Rituals as well as locally inspired treatments.
