quotes from the media

“Opened in 2007 by Aman Resorts, Amanyara – meaning peaceful place – is as close to peaceful perfection as one can imagine.  On the main island of Providenciales (Provo to locals), and a close 25-minute drive from the international airport, this gem feels like a Thai getaway much closer to home.  Seemingly every detail has been thought through, from the friendly welcome to the staff never asking your room number or presenting you with a bill for your meals.  They are trained to know who you are and they do.  It’s dreamy.”

“I spent three nights at Amanyara resort in November, and I loved the remoteness of the dramatic, hardscrabble terrain, perched on the edge of a rocky shoreline.  An overgrowth of indigenous plants and trees created a very private, maze-like environment, and at times I felt like a very fancy castaway.”

“It’s not easy to make a simple building look refined – it all depends on the details.”

“Bringing the sleek Zen lines that define Asian-based Aman resorts to the brand’s only Caribbean beach retreat presented a challenge for architect Jean-Michel Gathy, but he had a simple solution: ‘Don’t try to be grand or to impress; forgo all unnecessary decoration.’  His approach may be subtle, but the results are dramatic – take the nautical-inspired bar, which seemingly floats on the central reflecting pool.”
