Amanyara, located in the diving mecca of Turks and Caicos, offers up some of the world's best scenery both above and below the deep blue. Bring your flippers, and your wide-angle lens.
EXPERIENCE
Amanyara is on the coast of Northwest Point on the Turks and Caicos island of Providenciales. What that means for most people is that it's a gorgeous tropical beach resort in the Caribbean. What that means for scuba divers, though, is that the resort borders some of most famous wall and reef diving in the world.
But not all the fun is in the water, of course. You can take in tropical sunsets over a romantic, candlelit dinner in the-open air restaurant. Or make new friends and find a new favorite mixer for rum at the ocean-side bar. And when you need to recover the next morning, an invigorating massage at the Aman spa will do the trick.
Tucked away in manicured greenery, you'll find your own pavilion. Relax by your private plunge pool, or take your morning coffee on the timber sundeck that extends out over the larger, main pool. There are just 40 secluded guest pavilions here, so don't be worried about wearing those embarrassing bunny slippers you love so dearly.
