Located in
the Turks and Caicos Islands, in the British West Indies, the Amanyara resort
draws its name from aman, the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’, and yara, the
word for ‘place’ in the language of the Arawak Amerindians. The Amnayara resort
enjoys secluded white-sand beach, ironshore rocky coves, and an abundant marine
life thanks to its pristine reef walls.
Outstanding
pavillions
Offering 40
timber-shingled Guest Pavilions tucked along the coast and a number of Aman
Villas, the Amanyara resort enjoys a contemporary layout and design, open to
the sights and sounds of the turquoise sea.
All
pavilions have a combined bedroom and living room separated from the bathroom
area by a decorative wooden screen. Arrival is via an entrance terrace
featuring two daybeds, and the interior is revealed beyond sliding glass doors.
A central king-size bed is joined by a writing desk, reading chair and an
entertainment unit with flat-screen TV and CD/DVD player. The spacious bathroom
features a freestanding bathtub, twin vanities and a rain shower.
Dramatic
overhanging rooflines shade terraces on three sides of each pavilion. These
outdoor areas are accessed through large glass doors which open to cooling sea
breezes. For intimacy and seclusion, the Ocean Pavilions are positioned along
the oceanfront with views of the sea. These pavilions are elevated
approximately six metres (20 feet) above the waterline, and have pathways
leading to the rocky shore.
Pool
Pavilions feature a 12-metre (40-foot) infinity-edge swimming pool surrounded
by teak decking and natural vegetation while Pool Pavilions 120 and 125 both
feature a 9-by-9 metre (28-foot) zero-edge pool within a spacious walled garde
Finally,
ideal for families, the Two-Bedroom Pool Pavilion Suites offer two bedrooms, a
smaller room for children, a large living/dining room and a private fitness
room with cardio and weight equipment – all under one roof. The swimming pool
is fringed by an expansive terrace and lawns.
The Aman
Villas
Replicating
the resort on a more intimate scale are Amanyara’s Aman Villas – each located
on more than half a hectare (1½ acres) of lush terrain.
The
Amanyara resort offers 20 distinct villas with three different outlooks:
Tranquility Villas overlook reflection ponds and gardens, Ocean Villas are
located on the coral bluff with ocean views, and Beach Villas offer direct
beach access.
Designed to
combine indoor and outdoor living, each Aman Villa is a series of elegant
pavilions surrounding a black infinity-edge swimming pool framed by extensive
hardwood decking. Each villa has three, four or five bedrooms, extensive living
and dining areas, an outdoor dining sala and a kitchen. All offer outdoor
showers.
To top it
all, Aman Villas are serviced by personal cooks and housekeepers who cater to
guests’ every need.
The ethos
of Amanyara is founded in simple luxury that is afforded by an exceptional
location harmoniously blended with a unique environment resulting in
contemporary and finely tuned resorts that offer, with outstretched arms, an
enriching, enlightening and rewarding ‘lifestyle’ experience in which to
willingly surrender.
