Amanyara, Turks and Caicos

Pavilions

The property features 40 pavilions within three different location settings around the resort.

• Pavilions - sited on the edge of tranquil ponds with a timber sun deck extending over the water.
• Partial Ocean Pavilions - nestled in vegetation along the shoreline.
• Ocean Pavilions - positioned along the oceanfront with views of the ocean, elevated approximately 15-20 feet (6 metres) above the waterline, with pathways leading to the rock formations above the sea. Pavilion 115 enjoys sweeping ocean vistas with direct access to a sandy beach cove.

All are identical in layout and feature sliding glass doors opening from spacious interiors to outdoor living and relaxation areas featuring lounge banquettes, day beds and sunken dining facilities. Interiors come with king-size beds, writing desk and chair, personal bar, safe, a DVD and flat-screen TV in-room entertainment system. Bathrooms feature a free standing tub with adjacent ottaman, twin vanities and a separate rain shower room and toilet.

Villa Homes

Alongside the Pavilions, Amanyara also offers a select number of private Villa Homes which are available for rent. Each Villa sits on little over an acre and a half of lush landscape. The three, four or five bedroom Villas are sited either along the oceanfront; overlooking a tranquil pond or nestled in the island vegetation, some featuring internal reflecting ponds. The Villas are centred by either a rectangular or square infinity edged swimming pool in black volcanic rock surrounded by extensive hardwood decking. The free-standing bedroom pavilions are similar to those of the resort with some featuring outdoor bathtubs and showers. A large living and dining pavilion, outdoor dining sala and fully-equipped kitchen are included in each Villa. A personal cook and housekeeper take care of all guests’ needs. Villas come with two four-seater golf buggies and guests can enjoy access to the resort’s facilities and services.

• Yoga - Regular complimentary morning yoga sessions are held at the Serenity Villa and private yoga or pilates sessions may be arranged.

• Swimming Pool - located within an expansive terrace that provides uninterrupted views of the ocean. Measuring 50m by 8m, there are two lounging salas on either end from which shallow entries to the pool also provide for water lounging. A third lounging sala is located beyond the pool and closer to the oceanfront. Pairs of sunloungers are positioned along the timber deck and an outdoor shower area is provided.

• Tennis - two floodlit Har-tru clay tennis courts. Tennis racquets, balls and shoes are provided and lessons or game partners are available.

• Internet - Wireless broadband connections are available in all resort accommodations and the Library.

• Cuisine - The Restaurant provides a choice of dining settings. The interior of the room is divided into two areas, the first open to the breeze and the second air-conditioned. The open setting steps down onto a terrace with outdoor seating scattered beneath two large trees. Both areas have sweeping views to the ocean. The second area can be closed to provide air-conditioned dining in the hotter months and also opens to an outdoor balcony that enjoys views across the central reflecting pond. The cuisine offers a selection of Asian and Mediterranean fare with an emphasis on fresh seafood.

• Bar - Beyond the Restaurant, and leading to the swimming pool, is the Bar. The structure is circular in design and features a soaring internal ceiling. It includes a central service bar with its unique feature being the number of oversized lounging daybeds on the perimeter of the bar. Leading from the bar is a spacious terrace that provides informal dining seating and more large lounging beds. Enjoy a cool drink and light lunch during the day and as the sun sets, enjoy exotic fruit cocktails or a selection of cigars and after dinner liquors, available until late in the evening.
