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.
Hotel das Cataratas, A Belmond Hotel
Only hotel inside Brazil's Iguaçu National Park; early and late falls access is the reason to stay here.
About 15 km from Foz do Iguaçu airport (IGU); private vehicles generally cannot overnight in the park.
Combine Brazilian panoramic walkways with an Argentine-side day trip for the full falls system (passport rules apply).
Book Deluxe Cataratas or better if falls views matter; Superior rooms face gardens.
