Amanyara

Mr & Mrs Smith have a trip to this Caribbean boutique hotel in the diary, and just as soon as they're back from their tropical travels, a full account of their stay in Turks & Caicos will be with you. In the meantime, here’s a quick postcard from this serene Providenciales resort…

‘Is there such a thing as too comfortable?’ Mr and Mrs Smith sometimes wonder. In this instance, the query has been inspired by Amanyara’s enormous day-beds, which sprawl beneath the Thai-style salas that anchor the 165ft jet-black infinity pool. With clear blue waves splashing against the rocks behind you, sunlight dappling on the smooth pool surface in front and soft cream cushions underneath, there’s a very real danger that, once reclined, you’ll not get up again for days.

Comfort is something Amanresorts does very well, and this, its only Caribbean outpost, continues the tradition with aplomb. Set beside a vast sweep of untouched beach on the northern promontory of Provinciales, Amanyara’s only 25 minutes from the Turks & Caicos’ international airport, but it feels like stepping into another, incorruptibly tranquil, world. Like all Aman properties, the hotel, from those sleepy poolside salas to the recessed dining area on your pavilion’s private terrace, is architecturally inspired by the East, and the whole package blends seamlessly with the silver-flecked greenery surrounding the resort. If there is such a thing as too comfortable, you’ll almost certainly find it here.
