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.

Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos

  • 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.
