Another service the Artist Villa offers: if you fall into the inky-black pools, they’ll fish you out.

Amanyara, Aman's secluded enclave on the northwestern coast of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos, has recently introduced its 'Legends Program.' This initiative provides guests with the rare opportunity for private instruction from acclaimed athletes across several fields, as reported by Laura Dannen Redman of Robb Report — Travel on February 19, 2026.

Laura Dannen Redman of Robb Report — Travel describes Amanyara as a beachfront resort nestled within an expansive 18,000-acre nature preserve, where 'sky-high hedges shelter guests like this is Bel-Air on the beach.' The property emphasizes repose, with guests often opting to minimize activities, a sentiment echoed by Mili Jovovic, Amanyara's destination sales manager, who notes that guests 'cancel more' to spend time on the beach with family. Accommodation options range from one-bedroom pavilions starting at $1,700++ per night to newly refurbished three- to six-bedroom villas featuring personal hosts and private chefs.

The resort's pinnacle offering, the Artist Villa (No. 33), boasts a private stretch of white-sand beach, a 108-foot ocean-facing infinity swimming pool, a gymnasium equipped with Peloton bikes and a Pilates Reformer, a steam room, a cold plunge pool, and even a recording studio, according to Robb Report — Travel. During peak season, this five-bedroom villa commands a rate between $20,000 and $30,000 per night. Laura Dannen Redman recounts a personal experience with a tennis pro at the resort, musing that the lesson became 'a metaphor for life,' underscoring the intrinsic links between physical activity and mental clarity that a property such as Amanyara seeks to cultivate.

Our take: The 'Legends Program' represents a compelling evolution in luxury wellness, moving beyond traditional spa offerings to incorporate high-performance athletic coaching within an exclusive resort setting. This strategic move by Aman aligns with a growing demand among discerning travelers for personalized, aspirational experiences that blend physical refinement with the serenity of a remote sanctuary. We've been tracking this trend of curated, elite-level instruction at top-tier properties, and Amanyara's approach, leveraging iconic sports figures, sets a new benchmark for bespoke guest engagement.
