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.
Hacienda de San Antonio
- Private aircraft charters, helicopter transfers, and game vehicle expeditions coordinate directly with estate management.
- Private game drives and conservation excursions are included with all-inclusive rates.
- Pack lightweight safari-neutral clothing and binoculars for wildlife viewing.
