Underwater wellness

The full seven-day Transformative Underwater Wellness Journey allows ample time to explore the depths and embrace the transformative power of the ocean. For those seeking a shorter retreat, the halfway package provides a four-day exploration while the ‘Taste of Underwater Wellness Journey’ delivers a single-day programme, allowing a taster of this transformative experience.

Throughout the retreat, discover a secret paradise beneath the waves and witness a gentle ecosystem thriving.

Embark on a guided excursion, with a champion from Konservasi Indonesia, to witness the world’s largest non-mammalian vertebrate, the awe-inspiring whale shark and seize the opportunity to learn about, observe and protect these mesmerising giants in their natural habitat.

Over the past three decades, Amanwana has provided a base from which to enjoy the lush jungle vegetation and diverse wildlife, as well as exceptional waters for snorkelling and scuba diving and to enjoy unparalleled access to the natural wonders of the region. In 2022, Moyo Island was designated a National Park by the Indonesian government, ensuring that its spectacular landscape and diverse marine life is protected for generations to come.

With just 17 tents in total, visitors to Amanwana experience a true sense of seclusion, making it the perfect option for groups of friends or families to enjoy all to themselves. With jungle or sea views, light-filled interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan living spaces, the tents offer a back-to-nature experience, in typical Aman style.
