The wilderness hideaway of Amanwana (peaceful forest) is the only resort on the Indonesian island of Moyo, a nature and marine reserve 15 kilometres off the coast of Sumbawa, east of Bali. Surrounded by the turquoise waters and untouched reefs of the Flores Sea, the island is 350 square kilometres with vegetation ranging from savannah to tropical jungle. It is blessed with a variety of animal and bird life, from deer to wild boar, macaque monkeys, sea eagles and osprey. Tucked away beneath the canopy of tropical forest, Amanwana offers 20 tents linked by sand pathways. Amanwana’s tents (ocean-front or jungle) are elegantly- proportioned 58-square metre living spaces with solid wall foundations roofed by soaring waterproof exteriors and interior ceilings of canvas. The tents are not walled off from the rest of the island, which is also a protected deer sanctuary for the indigenous Rusa Deer. Amanwana’s deer breeding programme has ensured the steady increase in numbers of these shy creatures which can be spotted in the reserve. Each tent is air- conditioned, with hard wood flooring, a king-sized bed draped in flowing mosquito netting and a ceiling fan. Large banks of windows let in light and look out on jungle or beach settings. Wheat-coloured divans provide plenty of space for relaxing, while large bathrooms contain twin vanities. Amanwana’s tents also feature writing desks and are decorated with fine examples of Indonesian artwork. An open-air pavilion offers dining and all-day lounging. The Dining Room ( right) which serves a daily menu of fresh Asian and Western dishes has a Sumbawan epil wood floor, a lofty bamboo roof and pillars of solid coconut. The teak- top Bar (above) extends to cosy banquette seating. Amanwana’s facilities include the Jungle Cove Spa, a library, a boutique and the bamboo-roofed music pavilion (above).
