Amangiri: an ultra-exclusive desert destination for private aviation.
Charter a private jet to or from Amanera and discover one of the most spectacular and secluded luxury resorts in the Caribbean. Ari Jets provides private jet charter solutions tailored for clients who demand discretion, seamless access, and white‑glove logistics to the world’s most exclusive destinations.
Located on a dramatic clifftop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the celebrated golden sands of Playa Grande beach on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Amanera is framed by dramatic mountains and surrounded by lush jungle
The resort sits between the two small villages of Río San Juan and Cabrera, offering an unparalleled sense of remoteness and tranquility.
Amanera opened in November 2015 as Aman’s first property in the Dominican Republic. The resort spans 2,000 acres of pristine jungle with centuries‑old trees and royal palms stretching along nearly seven miles of Atlantic coastline. It is also the first Aman resort to integrate a golf course, with exclusive access to the neighbouring fairways of the Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club.
Private aviation is the preferred—and most seamless—way to access this Caribbean sanctuary, providing complete schedule control, direct routing, and total privacy from departure to arrival.
