Good to Know
Amanyara
The resort faces a protected marine reserve, not Grace Bay — it's quieter and more remote than most Providenciales hotels, which is either the appeal or the drawback depending on what you want.
About 20 minutes from Providenciales International Airport.
Snorkelling directly off the property's reef is genuinely good, not just a marketing claim — the reserve status protects it.
Caruso, A Belmond Hotel
Address: Piazza San Giovanni del Toro 2, Ravello; about 1.25 hours from Naples Airport (NAP).
Seasonal hotel: confirm annual opening and closing dates (often spring through late October).
Complimentary shuttle patterns to Amalfi and boat tours are frequently offered: confirm the current schedule.
Ravello is hilltop: you will not walk to a sandy beach from the lobby; plan boat or car days for Positano and Amalfi.
