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.

Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort

  • Private transfers (via helicopter, private boat, or 4WD vehicle) coordinate directly with resort reservations.
  • Bespoke guided excursions, Mayan temple safaris, and private wine blending workshops are pre-arranged with your host.
  • Pack comfortable linen resortwear, trail walking shoes, and swimwear.
