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.
La Residence, Franschhoek
All-inclusive safari rates include twice-daily game drives, all gourmet meals, and premier cellar beverages.
Pack neutral khaki, beige, and olive clothing for open-vehicle game drives and bush walks.
Direct bush airstrip charter flights can be coordinated directly with the lodge hospitality team.
