Visionary architectural designer Jean-Michel Gathy is recognized as the creative force behind some of the world’s most iconic luxury hotels and resorts.
The man who, alongside the late Ed Tuttle and Kerry Hill, established the DNA blueprint of Aman Resorts, has worked on some of the most recognizable luxury hospitality projects in the world — including the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool in Singapore, the famed Aman New York, and the recently launched Jumeirah Bali.
He also designed Amanyara, a luxury Aman Resorts retreat in the Turks and Caicos Islands, set on the shores of an 18,000-acre nature reserve. Here, one of the 20 private villas Gathy envisioned is being offered for sale, newly listed for $13,900,000 with Muffy Ward and Sean O’Neill of The Agency Turks and Caicos.

Part of Amanyara, a luxe Aman Resort in Turks and Caicos
Amanyara Villa 16 is part of the larger Amanyara resort designed by the renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy on the shores of Northwest Point Marine National Park in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.
Adjacent to protected parkland and overlooking a marine reserve, the luxury beachfront resort is known for its signature pavilions and villas, and luxe amenities, which include world-class restaurants, the tranquil Aman Spa, and various wellness and fitness facilities.
By the numbers: What $13.9M buys you in Turks & Caicos
While harder to quantify than your ordinary mainland listing, Villa 16 offers a total of 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 1 half bath, spread across a generous 11,954 square feet of living space.
Baked into the price is access to Aman Resorts amenities, which range from watersports to yoga and wellness facilities.
Villa 16 consists of 5 spacious guest pavilions
Tucked away in a secluded, lush setting, Amanyara’s Villa 16 boasts 5 spacious guest pavilions, each thoughtfully designed to offer tranquility and comfort and boasting an indoor-outdoor living design. At the center of it all sits the expansive Great Pavilion, designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
The pavilions are arranged around a central pool
Adding to the sense of seclusion, the pavilions have been built around a central body of water, with a few other pools and an oversized reflecting pond doubling down on the water features.
Future owners get to enjoy upscale Aman Resorts amenities
Villa owners get to enjoy the luxurious amenities at Amanyara, including the Nature Discovery Centre, beach amenities, paddleboards, kayaks, four clay Har-tru tennis courts, a fitness center, and a Clubhouse with shuffleboard, billiards, wide-screen televisions, ping-pong, and a world-class soccer pitch.
Particularly the wellness features it’s renowned for
Chief among the amenities are the wellness-oriented facilities Aman Resorts is known for; in the case of Amanyara, these include a luxurious spa with 4 treatment rooms, a relaxation pavilion, an outdoor yoga sala and pool, as well as a fully equipped pilates studio and boxing studio.
A place for peace and relaxation
Amanyara draws its name from the Sanskrit word for peace, evoking a sense of calm and belonging, and the Arawak Indian word for place, which combined give it a moniker that translates into “peaceful place” — an apt name for the serene resort.
