Hotel review: Amanyara (Turks & Caicos)

Wednesday newsletters always feature a luxury hotel and/or flight review.

Today (April 30, 2014): Review of Amanyara, a taste of Asia in the Caribbean (Turks & Caicos).

Set on the beautiful island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands, which harbors some of the best beaches in the world, the luxurious Amanyara resort is a secluded haven embracing the untrammelled elements of the Caribbean. Located along the pristine reefs of Northwest Point Marine National Park, acclaimed for some of the world’s best wall and reef diving, the resort draws its name from aman, the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’, and yara, the word for ‘place’ in the language of the Arawak Amerindians. Offering 40 timber-shingled Guest Pavilions tucked along the coast and a number of Aman Villas, the resort enjoys a contemporary layout and design, open to the sights and sounds of the turquoise sea. The resort belongs to the portfolio of the Aman, the world’s most luxurious hotel brand.

Amanyara features in my top 10 lists of the most luxurious resorts in the Caribbean, the best Aman hotels in the world, the world’s most beautiful overwater bungalows, the world’s most amazing beach resorts, and the world’s most expensive hotels.

COMPARISON WITH OTHER TURKS AND CAICOS LUXURY HOTELS

Parrot Cay (one of the world’s most exclusive private island resorts) and Amanyara are hands down the best hotels in Turks & Caicos. Click here to read my review of Parrot Cay.

If you want to combine them both, as I did, then stay at Parrot Cay first, so that you keep the “best for last”.


BEST TIME TO VISIT

Like other islands in the Caribbean, Turks & Caicos’ dry seasons and peak travel period lasts from December to March. However, the best time to visit Turks & Caicos is April and May, a sweet spot featuring lower prices and fewer crowds. The weather is pleasant year-round with average highs that hover in the 80s, but these islands do experience a rainy season, and the threat of hurricanes lingers from June to November.


HOW TO GET THERE

The resort is located a 30 minute drive (in Amanyara’s white Rovers) from Providenciales International Airport, which is served by the following airlines (click here for a direct link to their websites):
