The plot of the series, which involved pre-colonial setting, urged the producers to build sets on various locations such as [[Pagsanjan]] in [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]], [[Bolinao, Pangasinan|Bolinao]], [[Pangasinan]], and Bagac, [[Bataan]]. The scope of the series would require the filming of the integral scenes on-location as opposed to what the producers have done for [[Encantadia]] (a television series) a previous [[high fantasy]] production which was shot mostly in soundstages. However, to avoid the need for the reconstruction of some of the sets as the on-location shoots are usually ravaged by storms, and also to lessen maintenance cost as well as for the production to avoid acoustic issues by shooting in a controlled environment, they also used the network's temporary soundstages at [[Marilao, Bulacan]] for most of the indoor scenes.

The production gave much attention to details with regards to the recreation of historical elements vital to the show's production design. Guided by the academe, they attempted to recreate ancient elements of early Filipino culture from the architecture, to fashion, weaponry and jewelry. Jewels were made in cooperation with the jewellers of [[Meycauayan]]. Some textile used in making the costumes were imported from various [[Southeast Asian]] countries.

The production also built an ancient warship known as ''Karakoa''. It was made from an existing hull of a modern boat and was redesigned to fit the ancient descriptions of the legendary warship. The production spent more or less Php 2 million for a single unit of Karakoa.

Before the series started, a one-hour primer titled ''Amaya: The Making of An Epic'' was aired on May 28, 2011. The show was hosted by [[Cesar Montano]] and [[Miguel Tanfelix]], it presented behind the scenes of ''Amaya'' from the brainstorming of the management including interviews from [[Jun Lana]] and Doctolero, the creative minds behind the story with the guidance of historians from the [[University of the Philippines]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/gma/articles/2011-05-27/7271/GMA-presents-THE-MAKING-OF-AN-EPIC-A-closer-look-behind-the-saga-of-AMAYA |title=GMA presents "THE MAKING OF AN EPIC: A closer look behind the saga of AMAYA" |date=May 27, 2011 |website=GMANetwork.com |publisher=[[GMA Network]] |access-date=April 6, 2016}}</ref>
