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.
Six Senses Samui
- Six Senses is wellness-led but not a rigid retreat; book diagnostics or treatments early if that is your priority.
- Transfers can be a material part of the stay—confirm domestic flights, boats, roads, and weather contingencies.
- Rates and meal inclusions vary sharply by resort and season; compare the total, not the headline room rate.
Summary
