quotes from the media

"It’s private and discreet, a sanctuary of private stand-alone villas and tennis courts where money is no object and everyone around you is (or feels like) a king of the universe."

"This seven-year-old resort is 'a dream come true.'"

“Pavilions and Villas bring the tropics right inside the rooms. Caribbean resort design was in danger of becoming rather predictable, that’s until Amanyara came along.”

“Opened in 2007 by Aman Resorts, Amanyara is as near to perfection as one can imagine; just a 25-minute drive from the international airport on Turks and Caicos, this gem looks and feels like a South Pacific getaway-minus the jet lag.”

“Resort spas aren’t always what they seem. Usually, we arrive in vacation mode, so entranced by our postcard-like surroundings that whatever treatments we receive are judged more gently than back home. Not the case with The Spa at Amanyara in Turks and Caicos, where the space, staff, and services surpass many of the award-winning spas in New York City.”

“The first Aman resort in the Caribbean, Amanyara feels luxurious, decadent, decidedly Asian and blissfully off the radar. Picture calm reflecting pools and lounging salas (open air spaces) by the main swimming pool as well as a sugar-sand beach, an Asian-inspired spa and ultra-private villas and suites, most with their own pools.”

“Asian-inspired design, lush landscape and aquamarine seas set an oh-so-Zen backdrop. Here, one-on-one time comes courtesy of poolside loungers, terrace dining, sunny strolls and side-by-side massages at the spa-tastic Serenity Villa.”

“We start our recommendations for travel connoisseurs with a real insiders’ tip, the Amanyara in Turks & Caicos. Amanyara really lives up to its name which means – translated from Sanskrit – ‘place of peace’. … With the Northwest Point Marine National Park, diving enthusiasts find here one of the most spectacular diving spots in the world. … The beautiful guest pavilions are nestled in the pristine greenery. … With their size of 48 m² the pools of the Pool Pavilions are amongst the largest private hotel pools in the Caribbean. … Latest highlights are the new Pool Pavilions Suites which have been completed in early 2012. These are two luxury hideaways including several pavilions amidst an extensive park and pool area. Alike the resort they have been created by Jean-Michel Gathy.”
