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 Louise, Baillie Lodges

  • Private transfers (via private 4WD, helicopter, or boat) coordinate directly with resort reservations.
  • Bespoke guided safaris, private canyon dining, and private desert camel treks are pre-arranged with your butler.
  • Pack comfortable layering attire and sunglasses for desert, canyon, and safari adventures.
