The wilderness hideaway of Amanwana is located on Moyo Island, a nature reserve off the coast of Sumbawa. Nestled in a secluded cove overlooking Amanwana Bay it creates the ambience of camp-life, with 17 spacious luxury tents sheltered under the rainforest canopy. Set on coral stone decks and enclosed by solid stone walls with teak framed windows, they boast polished hardwood floors and air-conditioning, whilst sand pathways lead to a pristine, powder beach, spa and restaurant.
Take to the water to observe a coral-reef ecosystem teeming with colourful marine life, or head inland to search out a unique mix of jungle wildlife, from deer to wild boar to macaque monkeys, and a variety of spectacular bird life. For a once in a lifetime wildlife experience, try the Amanwana Komodo Dragon Expedition. Experienced rangers will guide you through the Komodo National Park, to observe these amazing, but sadly endangered, creatures in their natural habitat. The park also features one of the most pristine marine environments in the world and offers spectacular snorkelling and diving on untouched coral reefs.
