Amanyara Resort and Spa in Turks & Caicos

Did you ever think that while visiting the Turks & Caicos Islands you might spot an Atlantic humpback whale?
During the winter months they are frequently spotted passing just off shore from Amanyara Resort.
Perhaps while having breakfast or evening cocktails you just may witness whales breaching and lob-tailing.

Turks & Caicos boast of its finest fishing in the Caribbean. One of my favorites is the Atlantic blue marlin ranging in weight from 100 to 400 pounds or more and there is even golf if you prefer. The Provo Golf Club is rated amongst the top ten courses in the Caribbean.

Aman Resorts has claimed numerous awards like Travel and Leisure’s 500 best hotels in the world of 2012.

Nestled on a beautiful coastline within a 4,000-acre nature reserve this is as private and exclusive a resort as one could want…
Its tropical setting sets the Asian-inspired resort apart from all else. Featuring pavilion style open and airy villas with breathtaking water views, this is a spa you can truly escape to.

This is definitely one of our top picks in Turks & Caicos!
