Amanyara overlooks the pristine shores of Providenciales in Turks & Caicos. Set within a private nature reserve surrounded by a marine national park, this exclusive resort’s setting is difficult to beat. Amanyara’s open-air pavilions and villas, many with private pools and ocean views, provide the perfect blend of comfort and seclusion.
Providenciales, often referred to as “Provo,” is located in the western part of the archipelago. This island is renowned for its powdery white sand beaches and turquoise waters, most notably Grace Bay Beach. Consistently ranked among the world’s best beaches.
One of the standout features of Amanyara is its commitment to wellness and rejuvenation. The resort’s Aman Spa provides a range of holistic treatments inspired by Asian traditions, alongside fitness facilities that include a Pilates studio, yoga sessions, and tennis courts. You can also explore the natural beauty of the island through snorkeling excursions, scuba diving, and kayaking within the coral reefs of the adjacent national park. The resort’s beachfront setting adds an extra layer of tranquility, with powder-soft sands and crystal-clear waters.

The Caribbean presents a complex landscape for LGBTQ+ travelers, with each island offering a different level of acceptance and legal protections. While many Caribbean nations have historically had conservative attitudes towards LGBTQ+ issues, there has been a growing shift toward greater acceptance and inclusivity, particularly in more tourist-focused areas. Some countries have made significant strides in LGBTQ+ rights, with laws decriminalizing same-sex sexual activity and legalizing same-sex marriage, while others remain more restrictive.
Destinations like Puerto Rico, Aruba, and Barbados have gained reputations for being more LGBTQ+ friendly, with vibrant gay scenes, inclusive resorts, and popular Pride events that attract visitors from around the world. Puerto Rico, as a U.S. territory, offers legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, including marriage equality, making it one of the most welcoming destinations in the region. The Dominican Republic, known for its stunning beaches and luxury resorts, has a growing LGBTQ+ tourism industry, especially in places like Punta Cana, where same-sex couples can enjoy an inclusive environment.
However, many other Caribbean islands, while they may offer beautiful landscapes and unique cultural experiences, still have laws that criminalize same-sex sexual activity or lack legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Social acceptance varies widely, and LGBTQ+ travelers should exercise caution in more conservative areas, particularly outside major tourist centers.
Despite these challenges, the Caribbean remains a popular travel destination, with some islands offering safe and inclusive spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals can enjoy the region’s natural beauty, luxury resorts, and rich cultural experiences. As awareness grows and advocacy continues, many Caribbean nations are slowly moving toward greater acceptance, making the region an exciting and evolving destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
