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.
Katikies Santorini
- Private catamaran charters, helicopter transfers, and island fast-track services coordinate seamlessly with the concierge.
- Book sunset dinner tables and private pool cabanas well ahead during peak summer months.
- Pack comfortable resort footwear for walking on historic stone pathways and cobblestones.
