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.

Nayara Springs

  • Private transfers (via private vehicle, helicopter, or boat) coordinate directly with resort operations.
  • Bespoke guided cultural excursions, private tastings, and nature tours can be pre-arranged with the concierge.
  • Pack comfortable luxury travel attire and appropriate footwear for local exploration.
