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 Chedi Muscat
- Private airport fast-track service and luxury vehicle transfers coordinate seamlessly upon arrival.
- Book private dining setups (on the beach, in a private riad, or on dunes) well ahead during peak season.
- Dedicated personal butlers (Majordomes) manage every request throughout your stay.
