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.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
- The resort is closed for a phased renovation through the property's stated 2026 timeline, reopening with a smaller, higher-spec villa count — check status before booking.
- Nearest airport is Bora Bora (BOB); the resort transfer is by private boat across the lagoon.
- Whale-watching season (August–November) is a genuine reason to time a trip around, not just a marketing line.
