Good to Know
Amanyara
- The retreat features 38 pavilions and 19 private villas bordering Northwest Point Marine National Park, designed by Jean-Michel Gathy.
- Features a 50-metre black volcanic rock pool, Nature Discovery Centre with resident marine biologist, and PADI dive center.

Necker Island
- Official pages describe Necker as 74 acres, while one exclusive-use passage says thirty acres. The owner does not reconcile the figures.
- Core capacity is 48. Expanded sources variously say 56 guests plus 14 children, 56 adults plus 14 children, or 48 adults plus six children.
- Only one bunkroom has a card and sleeps six children. The second bunkroom, beach villa, four additional adult rooms and remaining expanded child beds are not publicly described.
- The live 2026 Individual Stay calendar conflicts with the still-live official 2026 PDF. Confirm valid arrival and departure dates rather than merging them.
