Amanyara Turks & Caicos

Why We Like It:

The fabulous, 5-Star Amanyara Turks & Caicos sits on a rocky shore overlooking the Caribbean and the pristine coral reefs of Point Marine National Park.

It is also surrounded by a full 100 acres of private estate, mostly lush tropical forest, and feels beautifully peaceful and secluded, despite being just 20 minutes from Providenciales International Airport, which has direct flights from most major U.S. cities.

The resort features Indonesian-inspired structures and villas, almost all built overwater or at the very least alongside water.

But in this case, not over the sea as is the most typical for overwater bungalows, they overlook very placid and pristine, private ponds or pools.

Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation:

The accommodation ranges in size from cozy one-bedroom suite pavilions to really fabulous, two to six-bedroom, villas.

The terraces of each are shaded by eaves on three sides and have floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening out to their private pools.

The villas are serviced by what they term a villa host, rather like a butler, and the three-to-six-bedroom villas also have their own personal chefs.

Both the villas and the pavillions feature a soothing combination of wood and cream colors, comfortable lounge furniture, and king-sized beds.

You’ll probably find you’ll spend most of your time outdoors here though. Surrounded by elegant shaded terraces and sundecks, their outside space is even more attractive.

Resort Facilities & Things to Do:

It’s a super luxury resort and the food at Amanyara is suitably, consistently excellent. The main restaurant’s delightful terrace is the place for breakfast.

You have a wide range of a la carte options, from crispy bacon to Thai kingfish Benedict, alongside a buffet of fresh fruit, cold meats, cheeses, pastries, muesli, yogurts, and fresh, exotic juices,

Then there’s lunch at the Beach Club, where you can enjoy random dishes like gazpacho or wood-fired spicy pepperoni pizza with avocado relish.

For a more indulgent experience, you are on vacation after all, you could skip the complimentary tea and go straight for a champagne mojito or basil and cucumber gimlet.

Accompanying the drinks can be all manner of delectable nibbles such as deep-fried plantain chips. And cigar enthusiasts can also enjoy a Davidoff Yamasa Robusto, available at the bar.

Evening dinner at the, quite casual, ‘The Restaurant’ is probably the culinary highlight. A very global menu features dishes ranging from tom yam soup and green curry chicken to Turks and Caicos lobster.

Many visitors praise the tennis coaching, the yoga instruction (including for children), and the well-equipped gym. The spa, consisting of four pavilions overlooking its own pool also gets rave reviews, particularly for the house-special massage.

Amanyara can arrange some great snorkeling trips and guided nature trails around the resort where you can encounter local wildlife.

The range of water sports available is excellent too, and you can head out on sailing trips and underwater photography safaris.

Reviews:

“We had an amazing time and Amanyara exceeded our expectations. The physical property and our Villa were fantastic and the beach and pools are amazing. Also so many activities to experience or just chill! But what really makes the difference is the team. It is really well-managed and the service and food is spectacular. From the moment you get in the Amanyara car at the airport you know that you are going to have a special experience. Housekeeping and daily amenities in the room put a smile on our face. Can’t wait to return!….”

“From the minute you get in the car at the airport, you are part of a total, enveloping experience. Somehow everyone knows your name, and shortly thereafter knows the foods and drinks you like. A warm, friendly staff keeps an eye on your stay and helps make plans, sort out travel, take care of anything you might need. We were there for six nights and never left the property. There’s a lot to do if you want that, but also it’s a great place to do absolutely nothing and just enjoy the beautiful spot and terrific food…..”
