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 Samanna, A Belmond Hotel
- About 15 minutes from Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM).
- Two pools with Corail as the social hub; three tennis courts; boutique and organic garden.
- Watersports centre on site.
- Event capacity up to about 200; weddings popular.
