AmanyaraEST. 2006

Set on a secluded white-sand beach, Amanyara enjoys a pristine location well removed from much of the development on the eastern side of the island. Transfer from the international airport on Providenciales is 25 minutes along a coastal road that rises to a hill and then falls away into a flat plain covered with native bush. This road passes through the picturesque fishing village of Blue Hills with its brightly-coloured Caribbean houses and beachside cafés.

Entry to the resort is through a large reception pavilion that opens onto a central reflection pond. Surrounded by mahogany trees, the pond is framed on one side by the Library and Gallery, and on the other side by the Restaurant and Bar. The circular Bar offers a dramatic soaring roof and sea views fronted by the 50-metre (164-foot) main swimming pool and sun deck.

Breathtaking location, transparent ocean, tranquility and peacefulness. Surrounded by a Marine National Park and Nature Reserve, Amanyara strives to provide an authentic experience of the island’s unique environment. The resort’s Nature Discovery Centre offers daily activities for guests of all ages to explore the island’s natural wonders, with a full-time naturalist on hand. For Amanyara’s younger guests, there are daily programmes co-created by our naturalist and teachers from the American Museum of Natural History’s Science and Nature department. These include exploration safaris, nature-themed presentations, beach walks, scavenger hunts and turtle conservation, all focused on learning more about the islands’ indigenous creatures.
