Discover the islands most pristine beach on the NW tip of Providenciales at Amanyara Resort.
Located at Northwest point on the island of Providenciales or “Provo” as it is locally referred to, Amanyara (peaceful place) is nestled on the tip of a 5,000 acre nature and wildlife reserve, with the widely-acclaimed reefs of the Northwest Point Marine Park just offshore. The resort's name derives from 'aman,' the Sanskrit word for peace, and 'yara' the word for place in the language of the Arawak Indians, one of the region's indigenous peoples.
Activities include scuba diving, beach watersports, snorkelling, fishing and spa treatments provided by Amanyara's team of skilled therapists. The Providenciales Golf Club is located a 30-minute drive from Amanyara and is rated amongst the top 10 courses in the Caribbean. You will not be disappointed by the fine level of service, excellent choices in dining and opulent accommodations.
