Amanwana Resort

Top choice in Sumbawa


On Moyo’s western side, 7km south of Labuhan Aji, Amanwana is the ultimate island hideaway. Guests stay in lavish permanent tents with antique wood furnishings, king-sized beds and air-con, but nature still rules here. The resort is built around diving, hiking and mountain biking. Guests arrive by private seaplane or helicopter from Bali, or from mainland Sumbawa on an Amanwana boat.

The resort sponsors turtle hatcheries, deer breeding and reef-protection projects. It offers a full-service spa and a dive school with private courses and dive trips. You can charter a luxury liveaboard for private seven-day cruises to Komodo National Park and further on to the Bandas in Maluku and Papua's Raja Ampat archipelago.
