Amanyara

An Aman beach resort of standalone pavilions and villas on Northwest Point, Providenciales, in the Turks and Caicos Islands, on the edge of an 18,000-acre nature reserve and facing North West Point Marine National Park, according to the official site. It opened in 2006: the Clubhouse page dates its 15th anniversary to 2021. The architect is Jean-Michel Gathy.

Aman’s pages give no count of rooms. The MICHELIN Guide, which awards the hotel One Key, lists 36; Tripadvisor lists 56. Google classes it as a 5-star hotel. One honeymoon site files it as an adults-only resort, which it is by no official account: Aman calls it «a retreat for all ages».

9 kinds, on the official pavilions page. The Tranquility, Ocean, Pool, Ocean Cove and Ocean Pool Pavilions measure 65 m²; the Alcove, Alcove Pool and Amanyara Pavilions 79 m²; the Two-Bedroom Pool Pavilion Suite 263 m². Each is a single glass-walled room with a king bed, a living area, a free-standing tub, a rain shower and shaded terraces on 3 sides.

4 have a private pool: the Pool Pavilion, the Alcove Pool Pavilion with 9 by 9 metres, the Ocean Pool Pavilion with 10 by 3.6, and the Amanyara Pavilion; so has the 2-bedroom suite. A Deluxe Pool Pavilion page is still online but missing from the index, and it books under the Alcove Pool Pavilion’s code. Aman has not said whether the autumn works touch the pavilions.

11 villa types of 3 to 6 bedrooms, from 980 to 1,686 m², are listed on the villas page. Each is a group of bedroom pavilions round a volcanic-stone infinity pool and a central living pavilion, with a villa host and a private chef. Breakfast is included; lunch and dinner are cooked on request and charged, and kitchens are not stocked in advance, the villas’ own questions and answers say.

On the official booking engine, read on 8 October 2026 for the night of 17 November 2026, the Three-Bedroom Tranquility Villa cost $12,620 before taxes, $16,154 with them, and The Artists Villa $22,640, or $28,979. On 21 November the Artists Villa was the only accommodation left on sale. The Ultimate Discovery offer adds all meals to villa stays of 3 nights.

At Northwest Point, Providenciales, TKCA 1ZZ, on the island’s west coast; Google places it in Wheeland Settlement, the nearest village, 7 km away by road. The resort is reached by one private road through the reserve and has no neighbours, as the official page describes.

By road, calculated on OpenStreetMap on 8 October 2026: the airport 14 km, Blue Hills 11 km, Turtle Cove Marina 16 km, Grace Bay 21 km, the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club 24 km and Long Bay Beach 25 km. Google shows no public transport nearby and little to do in the surroundings: the days are spent in the resort or on a boat.

By car from Providenciales International Airport (PLS): a 25-minute drive, says the «Getting here» page, and 14 km on OpenStreetMap’s roads. The concierge arranges the resort’s own fleet of Mercedes SUVs, and cars can meet private jets at the airport’s FBOs.

The transfer is charged: the list of what every stay includes leaves it out. The MICHELIN Guide’s listing quotes return transfers from $125 for up to 4 guests, and Google marks the airport shuttle as an extra. Aman’s page lists direct flights from New York, Boston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale and Toronto.

Google, Tripadvisor and the MICHELIN Guide all list free parking, and Google adds that it is self-parking. Aman’s own pages say nothing about parking or hiring a car.

Few guests drive: Providenciales is reached by air, and the resort lies at the end of a private road. Inside the grounds people move by bicycle or by golf cart, which staff drive on request, a guest wrote in June 2026; villas and the 2-bedroom suite have a buggy of their own.

The resort has 800 metres of white sand, which the events page also calls Malcolm’s Beach; the home page says half a mile and Tripadvisor’s description 1 km. Aman writes of a «private shore». Loungers stand by the Beach Club, and kayaks, paddleboards and Hobie Cats are free to use, according to the ocean adventures page.

The reef is a 5-minute boat ride out, inside the marine park; the free snorkel trips run at 10am, 11.15am and 2pm, and private ones take up to 6 guests, the experience guide says. Away from the sand the coast is ironshore: the Ocean Villa page advises against entering the sea there, because the tides change quickly. Diving is run with Big Blue Collective.

The main pool lies beside the Bar, on a terrace that looks over the ocean, with lounging beds round it, as the Bar’s page describes; Aman publishes no measurements. The spa has a pool of its own lined with sun loungers, and the children’s centre a children’s pool, according to the spa menu and the experience guide.

The private pools are where most swimming happens: 4 pavilion types and the 2-bedroom suite have one, and every villa has an infinity pool of volcanic stone, the Five-Bedroom Serenity Villa 2. Google lists a wading pool as well.

Aman’s pages give no temperature and no season for any pool. The one account comes from a guest who stayed in a villa in May 2026 and wrote on Google that staff asked at once how warm the party wanted their pool, which suggests the villas’ pools can be heated.

The climate does much of the work: the islands’ tourist board gives average air temperatures of 27 to 29°C from November to May and 29 to 32°C from June to October. The pools follow the resort’s calendar, which was closed to bookings until 16 November 2026 when we read it.

In 3 places, set out on the dining page. The Restaurant serves breakfast from 7am to 11am and an Asian dinner from 6pm to 10pm: sushi and sashimi, Thai curries, miso black cod, Japanese wagyu. The Beach Club, on a dune at the southern end of the beach, serves Mediterranean lunches from noon to 4pm and dinner from 6pm to 10pm, with a wood oven for pizza.

The Bar is open from 9am to 10pm, with Latin-Caribbean snacks, afternoon tea and a library of more than 60 rums from 12 countries. The Restaurant is for resident guests only, while the Beach Club also takes outside guests. Private dining runs from 7am to 10pm according to the website; the experience guide speaks of 24-hour room service. For a long stay that makes 3 places in all, with Grace Bay’s restaurants 35 minutes away.

Every stay includes breakfast, a bottle of Champagne on arrival, soft drinks and refreshments in the room, afternoon tea at the Bar, the scheduled wellness classes, the gym, the Clubhouse and its courts, a daily snorkelling trip and all non-motorised watersports, according to the accommodation page.

Aman sells no half board or full board for the pavilions; meals are ordered from menus that carry no prices on the site. The one package with all meals is Ultimate Discovery, for villa stays of 3 nights, drinks excluded. Offer terms add $270 a day for a third adult from age 12 and $45 for a child of 4 to 11, with children under 4 free; the MICHELIN Guide’s listing says children up to 11 pay no room charge.

The Aman Spa overlooks a reflecting pond: 4 double treatment pavilions, a wellness studio, a yoga sala, relaxation areas, a boutique and a pool lined with sun loungers, in the words of the spa menu. No floor area is published. The fitness centre has Technogym equipment, and a Pilates studio and a boxing studio stand at the Clubhouse.

Neither the menu nor the wellness page lists a sauna, a steam room or a hammam among the spa’s facilities. Cold plunges are offered as treatments, a guided 60-minute session and a full-day recovery ritual. Steam is found in the Six-Bedroom Amanyara Villa, and a cold plunge pool in The Artists Villa.

For resident guests the wellness facilities are part of the rate: the fitness centre, the Clubhouse, the tennis, padel and pickleball courts and the daily scheduled classes, as the accommodation page lists them. Treatments, private sessions and lessons are charged, with 28% of taxes and service fees.

No official page offers a day pass to the spa, the pool or the beach. What Aman does open to people staying elsewhere is the Beach Club restaurant, by reservation: one visitor in August 2026 came for lunch only. The minimum age for a treatment is 16, with a parent’s consent below that, and the one-day immersions are closed to guests of 16 and under.

The spa is open daily from 9am to 8pm, the hour at which the last treatment ends, and the fitness centre around the clock, according to the spa menu. It asks guests to book ahead, to arrive 15 minutes early and to cancel at least 12 hours before, or pay in full.

Treatments outside those hours and massages in the room carry a surcharge. The one-day wellness immersion must be requested 14 days before arrival, and the Celebrate at Amanyara offer advises reserving its couple’s massage 7 to 14 days ahead.

The menu follows Aman’s 3 paths, Grounding, Purifying and Nourishing, each with a facial, a massage, a body polish and wrap, and a journey of 180 minutes that combines them. Amanyara’s own list adds a signature massage of 90 minutes, Thai and 4-hand massages, hot and cold stone therapy, reflexology, a massage for mothers-to-be, sun rituals with coconut oil and the Aman Advanced Facial.

It prints durations but no prices, and states that every spa and wellness service is subject to 28% of government taxes and service fees.

Yes: Aman describes it as a retreat for all ages. The Nature Discovery Centre runs activities for children from 5, from nature walks and junior chef classes to sports at the Clubhouse, with a children’s pool and a playground; between November and May the programme is led with The Laurel Camps. There is a cinema, and yoga and Pilates classes for the young.

Swimming lessons start at 3 months and the guided snorkel trips at 12, the experience guide says. Google and the MICHELIN Guide list babysitting. Rooms for 3 are the Alcove and Alcove Pool Pavilions; villas take cots and rollaway beds, and barriers for ponds and pools can be fitted with notice. For the pavilions, the site does not publish whether a cot can be added.

A Clubhouse with 4 Har-Tru tennis courts and 3 padel courts, all floodlit, pickleball, basketball, a football pitch, beach volleyball, billiards, shuffleboard and table tennis; a boutique; a screening room of 30 seats; bicycles, trails for walking and riding, and boats for diving, fishing and cruising booked through the concierge. Wi-Fi is free.

On dogs the sources split. Google marks pets and dogs as allowed and the MICHELIN Guide calls the hotel pet friendly, but no Aman page mentions animals or a fee. No dress code is published for the restaurants either, and the booking engine leaves its pet-policy field empty.

7 on the offers page read on 8 October 2026. Advance Reservation: a lower rate for stays of 1 to 3 nights booked 14 days ahead, prepaid and non-refundable, until 16 December 2027.

Journey Across the Americas, which links Aman’s hotels in the region, ends on 31 October 2026. Blackout dates apply to most.

Yes. Couples can exchange vows on the beach, beside a pond or above a cove, and weddings of up to 70 guests can be held in a villa, according to the events page. The Restaurant seats 120; the Bar takes 100 for drinks or 60 for a seated dinner; the screening room has 30 seats for meetings.

The villas’ groups page speaks of receptions for up to 100 in a villa, and the whole resort can be taken for a buyout. No price is published for any of it: Aman sends a proposal on request. The beach suits a barbecue or a party with fireworks, its page adds.

Yes. The Festive Itinerary 2026 sets a New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at the Bar on 31 December 2026, from 7pm to 10.30pm: cocktails and canapés at the Welcome Pavilion, then live cooking stations, music and performances. On Christmas Eve dinner runs from 6pm to 9.30pm, a family-style menu at The Restaurant or a Peruvian set menu at the Beach Club.

The brochure prints no prices. The MICHELIN Guide’s listing does: a mandatory gala dinner at $2,112 per adult and $960 per child on 31 December, and $960 and $480 on 24 December, charged apart from the room and without drinks. Aman’s booking calendar agrees for New Year’s Eve: that night showed $10,752 for 2 against $6,528 the night before, a difference of exactly 2 adult galas.

Not at the resort. The hotel’s experience guide sends golfers to the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, an 18-hole course open all year from 7am until dusk, with clubs for hire: a 40-minute drive, it says, and 24 km on OpenStreetMap. No golf package appears among the offers.

Until 1 November 2026 it is closed: the official site says the resort «is temporarily closed until 1 November 2026 as the resort undergoes a series of thoughtful enhancements». The booking calendar read on 8 October 2026 showed every night to 15 November as closed and sold the first on 16 November; Google Hotels had no price before that date either. Google reviews of stays run up to the summer of 2026.

No annual closure is announced, and the offers run to December 2027. Hurricane season in the Turks and Caicos runs from 1 June to 30 November, according to the islands’ tourist board; Aman publishes no hurricane guarantee and recommends travel insurance on its arrival page. On the calendar minimum stays apply at holidays: 4 nights at Thanksgiving, 7 over New Year.

On Aman’s own booking calendar, read on 8 October 2026, a night for 2 with breakfast, taxes and fees included, cost $2,445 on 17 November 2026, $2,586 on 19 November, $5,690 on 27 November, in Thanksgiving week, $2,688 on 9 December, $7,680 on 27 December, $4,410 on 6 January 2027, $5,440 on 11 February, $3,264 on 6 April and $2,163 on 18 May, the lowest of the 194 nights priced. Nothing is sold before 16 November: the resort is closed for works.

Google Hotels, read the same day, shows the same figures for the nights it covers: $2,445, $2,586, $5,690, $2,688, $7,680 and $4,410. Its amounts therefore carry the taxes and fees too. These are the lowest rates of each night, for the smallest pavilion on the prepaid, non-refundable Advance Reservation rate.

Google’s 327 ratings average 4.5/5, 79% of them 5 stars; Tripadvisor’s 603 average 4.5/5, with 460 «excellent» and sub-scores of 4.9 for cleanliness, 4.7 for rooms, 4.6 for location and service and 4.0 for value. Trip.com showed 8.6/10 from 30 reviews in May 2026.

Guests praise the beach, the privacy of the pavilions, the snorkelling and individual members of staff, in 2026 often a team seconded from Aman’s hotel in Turkey. The accounts of 2025 and 2026 also carry what is worth knowing before you go: mosquitoes and other insects, pavilions and villas showing their age, waiters who have to be called over in the restaurant and on the beach, the bumpy road in, and lunch and dinner charged on top. All of it was written before the closure for works.

28% in all. The official booking engine, read on 8 October 2026, breaks the charge on a room into a 12% government tax, a 10% service charge and a 6% facility fee: a pavilion at $1,910 for the night of 17 November 2026 came to $2,444.80. Its calendar and Google Hotels both show the amount with these included; no separate resort fee is named.

The same night at the flexible Standard Daily Rate cost $2,725 before taxes and $3,488 with them, against the prepaid rate above. The spa menu applies 28% to treatments. Tripadvisor’s price range, $2,702 to $6,528, is stated without taxes. Extra-guest charges and the festive gala dinners are taxed on top.
