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.
La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel
Deià is a steep hillside village — if mobility is limited, request a room close to the main manor houses and confirm golf-cart or staff assistance.
Palma Airport (PMI) is about 45 minutes; Sóller is 20 minutes for a simpler day trip than driving into Palma.
The art programme is real — book a session with resident painter Alan Hydes or sculptor Juan Waelder early in the stay.
El Olivo is the one reservation that should be locked before you arrive in high season.
