In summary
Ani Dominican Republic is a fully staffed and serviced private 14-bedroom estate set on its own peninsula with 270 degree ocean views that include dramatic coves, beaches, and mountains in the distance. Located on the DR's central north coast, Ambar Estate is within the authentically slower and more laid back rural countryside.
While situated among smaller towns and agricultural villages, the sprawling property is also minutes away from some of the country's finest beaches, excellent surfing and kite surfing spots, and a Trent Jones clifftop golf course resembling Pebble Beach.
The house is divied in two villas, Villa Amber and Villa Larimar. These two amazing villas can be booked separately.

Location
Situated in the center of the Dominican Republic’s north coast between the magnificent Samaná Peninsula and Cabarete, the birthplace of kite surfing, the property is perfectly placed to arrange any possible experience in the region beyond the comprehensive inclusions. Known as the Amber Riviera for its amber deposits and golden beaches, the coastline is backed by lush jungle and the Cordillera Septentrional Mountains – all combining to offer a rich natural playground.
The tropical waters offshore teem with marine life, offering superb scuba diving and fishing year-round, and whale-watching from January to March. Private cruises and the region’s world-class golf courses offer different perspectives of the coastline, while horseback riding and canyoning, cascading, and rappelling through caves and down waterfalls reveal the raw beauty of the mountains. Or explore the Republic’s cultural heritage in Puerto Plata with a personal guide.
