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.

Maroma, A Belmond Hotel

  • About 30 minutes from Cancun Airport; about 20 minutes to Playa del Carmen; about 1 hour to Tulum.
  • Beach sits by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world's second-largest coral system.
  • Event venues roughly 40-250; hotel buyouts possible.
  • Temazcal and Guerlain rituals differentiate versus generic Riviera spas.
