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 Upper House
- Private transfers (via seaplane, private boat, or luxury 4WD) are coordinated directly with lodge reservations.
- Pack comfortable footwear and nature-appropriate attire for guided excursions.
- Daily wellness rituals and cultural masterclasses are included with your stay.
