We stayed at this amazing tented reserve on the island called Amanwana (thanks to our dear friend Toby) - a true beachcomber/diver/naturalist's paradise.
Although just technically canvas tents, it's got modern luxuries like aircondition, h&c baths, and the legendary Aman service...
The late Princess Diana loved it here so much, so it won't be hard to fall in love with this place for ordinary mortals like us...
Wild birds making the beach their hunting grounds...
The pool deck directly drops to the coral reef where you can feed hungry Nemo's and Dory's.
Handmade maps to the island and naturally-harvested Moyo honey as welcome presents
A masseuse leading you deep into the forest where you have your massage treatments!
Organic spa potions...
Early morning at the restaurant for breakfast
Bumping into wild monkeys who are also having their early morning meals...
The only way to get to the island is a breathtaking ride through a 9-seater sea plane which lands directly to the beach of the resort. The resort has a couple of yachts and small ships to take you around outlying island chains and the Komodo islands but with a resort like this at your feet, the last thing you want to do is leave...
