Description:
All timber-shingled pavilions are identical in layout and design. An overhanging roofline creates shaded outdoor areas on the pavilion's three terraces which are accessible through large sliding glass doors that open to catch the cooling sea breezes. Arrival to a pavilion is via an entrance terrace that houses two daybeds. Sliding glass doors open to reveal the room's interior which features a central king-size bed behind which sits a writing desk and chair. Beyond is a cabinet that contains a personal bar with refreshments. Positioned in the corners of the room are a reading chair with a footstool and an entertainment unit comprising a flat screen television and DVD/CD player with surround sound system. This combined bedroom and living room also opens onto two additional terraces, the first with twin banquettes for lounging or dining and the second featuring a sunken table with cushions and bolsters and two sunning mats on an exposed timber terrace.

*Each pavilion is sited on the edge of tranquil ponds with a timber sun deck extending over the water.


THE RESORT: The Restaurant provides a choice of dining settings. The interior of the room is divided into two areas, the first open to the breeze and the second air-conditioned. The open setting steps down onto a terrace with outdoor seating scattered beneath two large trees. Both areas have sweeping views to the ocean. The cuisine offers a selection of Asian and Mediterranean fare with an emphasis on local seafood. Beyond the Restaurant, and leading to the swimming pool, is the Bar. The structure is circular in design and features a soaring internal ceiling. It includes a central service bar with its unique feature being the number of oversized lounging daybeds on the perimeter of the bar. Leading from the bar is a spacious terrace that provides informal dining seating and more large lounging beds.

The Library, with its reading terrace overlooking the central reflecting pond, offers a wide selection of coffee-table books along with travel guides, novels and reference books. Newspapers, magazines, audio CDs, DVDs, board games and Internet access are also available. Adjacent to the library is the Boutique that offers a variety of vacation essentials. The Multimedia Screening Room features 30 wide leather seats and is fully equipped with a DVD player, cable TV, high speed Internet and video/data projection capabilities.

Located on a dune above the southern end of the sweeping white sand beach, the Beach Club provides an informal dining venue throughout the day. Beyond is a grassed courtyard and the Dive Centre at Amanyara. The food style is simple, with grills, sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit, juices and shakes. Afternoon tea is served here daily and regular barbecues are held in the evenings.
