Amanera, Aman's oasis in the Dominican Republic, is offering two new journeys. Aligned with the Aman brand pillars, the newly created Amanera wellness journeys celebrate local Taino culture, aim to restore balance, and secure a sense of belonging through dynamic wellness practices.
Atabey Connection loosely translates to Mother Earth, as Atabey is an ancestral mother of the Taino. Guests seeking a revitalized connection with nature should opt for the Atabey Connection, a three- or five-night journey. A sampling of the activities and experiences offered on this journey include:
- A Taino Hike — Guests will learn how to identify plants by smell & texture
- Arawak Wisdom — A herbal experience, making plant-based tinctures
- A Purification Mud Mask — Utilizing ancient practices to balance the body’s temperature
The Anichi Healing, roughly serving as a Taino symbol for the heart center, is designed for those seeking introspection, relaxation, and mindfulness. This three-night journey is for those who must go outside to find what’s within. A sampling of what is planned for participants includes:
- A Holistic massage — Aromatherapy-based oil massage to find an intuitive sense of connection
- Water Healing — Achieve a deep, relaxed state with purpose and intention behind each sequence
- Walk of silence — Guests will be able to connect with their inner space and Mother Earth
As is the Aman way, these journeys can be customized and personalized to fit the needs and preferences of each guest.
