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.
The Chanler at Cliff Walk
- Private airport transfers, ski valet, or private nature guides can be pre-arranged via the head concierge.
- Book signature dining tables and private cabanas well ahead during peak season.
- Club level and private residence categories offer dedicated concierge teams.
