"Set on the scrubby nub of the Northwest Point Marine National Park on Providenciales, the Amanyara resort in Turks and Caicos is a veritable vision. The rooms, in airy gazebos made of Indonesian wood, float like water lilies on the central reflecting pool, and are surrounded on three sides by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls that lead down to sunken dining areas and bedroom floors inlaid with teak. Opt for one of the Ocean Villas—the most private of all—and enjoy an infinity-edge pool, a private garden brimming with native island vegetation, and a dockside day bed, perfect for taking that much-needed cat nap. And at The Restaurant, simplicity is the focus in both name and cuisine: Sample the spiny Caribbean lobster, grilled over a hot flame, and dig your toes into the sand." - Nicholas DeRenzo, CNT Editors
