Amanyara

Overview

Amanresorts’ first foray in the Caribbean brings its signature style of uber-luxury to a fantasy island setting.

Devotees of Amanresorts will welcome the super-sleek Amanyara. Opened in 2006 and located on the secluded and undeveloped north-western coast of Providenciales, this is, as its name translates, a peaceful place.

Accommodation: 40 Guest Rooms

Accommodation

All 40 timber shingled pavilions are identical in layout and design. Pavilions are nestled in the vegetation; Pond Pavilions are sited on the edge of tranquil ponds, with a timber sundeck extending over the edge of the water while Ocean Pavilions are located along the oceanfront, elevated approximately 15-20 feet above the waterline, with pathways leading to the rock formations above the sea.

An overhanging roofline creates shaded outdoor areas on the pavilion’s three terraces which are accessible through large glass doors that open to catch the cooling sea breezes.

There is also an ongoing creation of villa homes located on the periphery of the property. Each bedroom pavilion is identical to the pavilions within the resort, with a slightly larger bathroom and dressing area. The bedroom pavilions are centred on a swimming pool and adjacent are two pavilions dedicated to lounging and dining. Each Villa also features a kitchen and comes with private staff.

Restaurants & Bars

The Restaurant provides a choice of dining settings. The interior of the room is divided into two areas, the first open to the breeze and the second air-conditioned. The open setting steps down onto a terrace with outdoor seating scattered beneath two large trees. Both areas have sweeping views to the beach and beyond to the ocean. The cuisine on offer provides a selection of Asian and Mediterranean fare with an emphasis on local seafood.

Beyond the Restaurant, and leading to the swimming pool, is the Bar. It includes a central service bar with its unique feature being the number of oversized lounging day beds on the perimeter of the bar. Leading from the bar is a spacious terrace that provides informal dining seating and more large lounging beds. Enjoy a cool drink and light lunch during the day, and as the sun sets, enjoy cocktails featuring exotic fruit or a selection of cigars and after dinner liquors, available until late in the evening.

Recreation

The pool, fitness centre, tennis courts, snorkelling, fishing and a vast array of water sports including boogie boards and kayaks are available for the more active.

The fully equipped Dive Centre at Amanyara has a professional team of dive masters and instructors who offer a range of dive courses from introduction to scuba diving, through to advanced and specialty courses. Located directly in front of the resort, approximately 500m from the beach, are the remarkable coral reef walls of the Northwest Point Marine National Park.

Amanyara has a team of skilled therapists providing massages and body treatments for guests in the privacy of their pavilion. There are also beauty treatments available, including facials, manicures and pedicures.

The Providenciales Golf Club is located 30-minutes from Amanyara and is rated amongst the top 10 courses in the Caribbean. The 18-hole championship course is a combination of lush greens and fairways, rugged limestone outcroppings and freshwater lakes.
