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.

Shinta Mani Wild, A Bensley Collection

  • Private transfers (via seaplane, private boat, or luxury 4WD) are coordinated directly with lodge reservations.
  • Pack comfortable footwear and nature-appropriate attire for guided excursions.
  • Daily wellness rituals and cultural masterclasses are included with your stay.
