Spanning over 11 km of direct coastline with stunning beaches, Amanera is the first Aman Resort in the Dominican Republic and first golf-integrated Aman Resort in the world.

Set atop the cliff along miles of Atlantic coastline, the 25-casita resort offers fine dining, spa and recreational facilities, all demonstrating an elegant, open-air design which complements Amanera’s magnificent natural setting

Each of Amanera’s residences has exceptional views of the ocean, coast or the rainforest. Each will embrace the breathtaking landscapes and encompass only the highest quality of finishes and craftsmanship. Also nestled on a private, sandy corner of Playa Grande’s mile-long beach is the Amanera Beach Club and Kids Club.

Our Commercial Specialist was part of the Development team that carried out the initial project feasibilities and tendering of the main construction packages.  The role was to advise on feasibilities, financial modelling / reporting, and estimating whilst managing separately contracted local Engineers and contractors.

Procurement

The project was tendered to local contractors and specialist international subcontractors with a schedule of quantities and a fixed price lump sum agreed.  The procurement of FF&E and OS&E was carried out internal by our Commercial Specialist.

Given the location of the project in the Caribbean, the expanse of options was such that procurement could be sourced from all over America and Europe together with various operator requirements from Asia / Indonesia.

The Procurement responsibility was such that a minimum of three quotes were to be sought to gauge completion and to obtain the required approvals to prevent single sourcing and the risk of inflated pricing.
