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.
Il San Pietro di Positano
- Private hotel boat excursions and beach club access are included or easily arranged via concierge.
- Book cliffside dining tables and private cabanas well ahead during peak summer months.
- Helicopter and private yacht transfers can be coordinated directly with the concierge.
