Unfortunately, there are no Marriott hotels on Turks & Caicos, so if you collect or want to spend Marriott Bonvoy points in Turks & Caicos, you’re out of luck, but it is worth knowing that Marriot is getting into the home-sharing business, which means that there may be Homes & Villas by Marriott International in Turks & Caicos soon.
Rather than choosing a Marriott hotel for your vacation in Turks & Caicos, why not try one of the best luxury hotels on Turks & Caicos?
1. Amanyara
Our top pick in Turks and Caicos is Amanyara. It’s no secret that Aman Resorts is one of my favorite luxury hotel brands and Amanyara is certainly one of the best luxury hotels in the world. You can also read my review of Aman Canal Grande Venice.
You will find some of the best beaches in the world on Turks and Caicos Islands and Amanyara resort is located along the pristine reefs of Northwest Point Marine National Park, acclaimed for some of the world’s best wall and reef diving. As you would expect from an Aman hotel, Amanyara feels ultra-exclusive and offers a slick escape of silvery-topped pavilions, chic teak terraces, shaded loungers, centered on a huge infinity pool designed using volcanic rock with a conical bar. The overall feel is Asia in the Caribbean with a Zen and peaceful feel, many miles away from the jolly and colorful resorts on islands like Jamaica.
Entry to Amanyara, one of the best luxury resorts in the Caribbean, is through a grand reception pavilion that opens before a formal reflecting pond that is landscaped with picturesque trees. The impressive pond is framed by the library and boutique on one side across from a dining room and terrace on the other. The terrace offers you sweeping views of the half-mile, white sand beach.
Amanyara’s pavilions or rooms are identically designed with natural materials and platform king-sized beds, decked terraces, and atmospheric slatted shutters. The only choice you need to make is the position of your pavilion (or room). Pavilions are located either inland bordered by tranquil ponds with timber sun decks over the water or they are oceanfront with views out to sea and paths down to the shoreline. Some of the inland pavilions feature private pools. All Pavilions have three-sided glass walls that slide away to leave the room open to cooling breezes and feature a combined bedroom and living room separated from the bathroom area by a decorative wooden screen. You will find freestanding bathtubs in the bathrooms and a rain shower.
For larger groups, there are 18 Villas comprised of three-bedroom pavilions overlooking one of the resort’s ponds. Bedroom pavilions are centered around a swimming pool and close by are two pavilions for lounging and dining. Each Villa is staffed with maids and transportation is provided within the resort by way of a complimentary golf cart.
The cuisine on offer in the Dining Room includes a bountiful selection of Asian and Mediterranean fare with an emphasis on seafood from around the Turks & Caicos. Just beyond the Dining Room, leading to the swimming pool is the Lounge. Amanyara’s famous Lounge includes a central service bar with the unique feature being a number of oversized lounging day beds positioned around the perimeter.
Located on a dune above the southern end of the sweeping, powdery white sand beach is the Beach Club, providing informal dining throughout the day. In the evenings, you can return to the Beach Club’s intimate and informal area for beach barbeques.
The pool is a great feature of this luxury hotel. Lined with timber decking, Amanyara’s infinity pool is a 50m pool that sparkles by day and becomes a star-speckled mirror by night. With views of the Atlantic (February to April, you can spot migrating humpback whales), this pool, surrounded by loungers and the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. Beyond this, the Amanyara private beach is a half-mile-long stretch of powdery soft white sands sprinkled with oversized loungers. To the South, you will find rocky inlets and sandy coves
The Fitness Centre includes a fully-equipped gym next to two tennis courts that feature flood-lighting for professional nighttime play. Other activities include scuba diving, beach watersports, snorkeling, and fishing. Don’t forget to sample the spa treatments provided by Amanyara’s team of highly skilled therapists. Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that the Providenciales Golf Club is located a short 30-minute drive from Amanyara and is rated amongst the top 10 courses in the Caribbean.
