The first Aman resort in the Caribbean was a long time in coming. Yet this discreetly luxurious 40-pavilion retreat was well worth the wait, its hideaway location on the west coast of Providenciales enhanced by low-rise contemporary buildings that blend unobtrusively with the sweeping white sands. The highly-acclaimed reefs of the Northwest Point Marine Park also lie just off shore for snorkellers and scuba-divers, whilst the in-suite spa treatments and nearby championship golf course mean this is a place for peace-seeking naturalists with a self-indulgent side.

This resort makes the most of its pristine surroundings, the public areas open to sea views and the accommodation distinguished by sliding glass panel walls designed to bring the tropics right inside the room. Whilst all the same design, the Pavilions capture a tropical aesthetic by incorporating a simple palette of colours and materials. The timber shingled pavilions fall into the following categories;

Partial Ocean Pavilions
These pavilions are nestled in the vegetation along the shoreline.

Ocean Pavilions
Positioned along the oceanfront with views of the ocean, these pavilions are elevated approximately 15-20ft above the waterline and have pathways leading to the rock formations above the sea.

Pavilion 115
Pavilion 115 enjoys sweeping ocean vistas and has direct access to a sandy beach cove.

Villa homes
Alongside the pavilions, Amanyara embraces a select number of private villa homes which are available for rent. Each villa sits on little over an acre and a half of lush landscape and they emulate, on a more intimate scale, the Amanyara resort as a whole. The three, four or five bedroom villas are sited either along the oceanfront; overlooking a tranquil pond or nestled in the island vegetation, some featuring internal reflecting ponds. The villas are centred by either a rectangular or square infinity edged swimming pool in black volcanic rock surrounded by extensive hardwood decking. The free-standing bedroom pavilions are similar to those of the resort with some featuring outdoor bathtubs and showers. Some villas have an additional bedroom suitable for up to four children and a nanny. A large living and dining pavilion, outdoor dining sala and fully-equipped kitchen are included in each villa, and a personal cook and housekeeper take care of all guests’ needs. Villas come with two four-seater golf buggies and guests can enjoy access to the resort’s facilities and services.

The Beach Club and Dining Room offer casual lunches and elegant dinners with an Asianor Mediterranean flavour and there’s an expansive swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness centre and water sports. But you may simply prefer to enjoy an iced tea and another chapter of your favourite novel in The Library - the views are top drawer.
