Amara Sanctuary
The redesign of Amara Sanctuary beautifully embraces the biophilic essence of the estate, where lush greenery weaves through the resort, creating an immersive connection with nature. A true haven of tranquillity, the resort offers an idyllic setting and serene atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Blending traditional local elements with contemporary design, the lobby features reclaimed timber upcycled from old fishing vessels, serving as a striking backdrop and a tribute to the estate’s 100-year legacy. Beneath the lobby’s skylight, a 4-metre Everfresh Tree anchors the space, welcoming guests as they enter. Various pockets of space have been thoughtfully activated, allowing guests to explore and appreciate both the abundant greenery and the architectural beauty that defines the resort.
The all-day dining area is adorned with earth-toned furnishings, complemented by handwoven rattan lanterns, set against a backdrop of vibrant greenery. This space reflects the resort’s naturalistic design ethos. The outdoor patio has been reimagined with a refreshed layout, encouraging guests to wander and fully immerse themselves in the surrounding nature.

In the guest rooms, the soft, sandy tones evoke the nearby beaches, while organic materials such as rattan, timber, and sisal are paired with calming greens and warm neutrals, creating a harmonious and nature-inspired ambience.
With its thoughtful integration of nature, heritage, and contemporary design, Amara Sanctuary offers a uniquely immersive experience where guests can unwind in a peaceful, nature-filled environment while celebrating the estate’s rich history.
