Who built Amanera, the Aman resort designed by John Heah?

ACCOM. We delivered Amanera over 38 months: 6,000 m² of resort built for Aman at Río San Juan, on the Dominican Republic's Atlantic coast, working alongside London-based architect John Heah of Heah & Co., whose hand has shaped Aman properties from Bali to the Bahamas.

The collaboration

A resort that disappears into the landscape.

The builders, the architect, and the operator agreed on one principle: the building should disappear into the landscape, not the other way around. Tropical hardwoods, board-formed concrete, and panoramic glazing were specified to weather the Atlantic exposure without the resort ever feeling assembled.

Delivering an Aman is a builder's credential in any market. It means hospitality-grade tolerances, an operator's punch lists, and an architect with an exacting eye, sustained over 38 months of construction.

How does ACCOM work with international architects in the Dominican Republic?

ACCOM is the builder of record on architect-led projects: we price the design, resolve it into local engineering and permits, buy through a supply chain built in Punta Cana since 2006, and deliver against a published schedule, with hurricane-rated structure as the baseline. We prefer to join at feasibility, before groundbreaking, and we work comfortably alongside owners' representatives.
