Turks and Caicos Beachfront Resorts
The Turks and Caicos has some of the finest beaches in the world. Impeccable white sand beaches and aquamarine water can be found on all of the major islands and many of the small cays in this tropical archipelago and top Caribbean tourism destination.
Of all the islands in the Turks and Caicos, Providenciales has the greatest selection of luxury beachfront resorts and most of the country's best beaches.
Several resorts on Providenciales offer all-inclusive packages, if you’re looking for a no-stress vacation of sand, sea, and sun.
For families and groups, it’s also worth considering some of the beautiful Turks and Caicos villas, which typically offer more space and privacy than resorts as well as great amenities. Most Turks and Caicos villas are located on or near an incredible beach.
The following beachfront resorts are listed in no particular order.
Ocean Club Resort
Ocean Club is found on the uncrowded eastern side of Grace Bay Beach, and close to the longest undeveloped stretch of the famous white-sand coast. The family-friendly resort offers a full range of accommodations, from studios to one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Everything considered, Ocean Club is one of the best value accommodations when it comes to Grace Bay beachfront resorts.
Resort amenities include Cabana (a beachfront restaurant and bar), a fitness center, a pool, plenty of beach loungers with shade, and access to the amenities of its sister resort, Ocean Club West. The award-winning Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club is located a short walk away, and the popular Opus and Rickie’s restaurants are directly adjacent to the resort.
Grace Bay Club
Grace Bay Club was the original luxury resort on Providenciales, built before Grace Bay Beach became widely known as the world’s best beach and one of the top destinations in the Caribbean.
Today, Grace Bay Club has greatly expanded from the original elegant hotel, and now features three resort enclaves, three restaurants, Anani Spa, and a full range of luxury amenities. Guests can choose from suites or larger villa accommodations. Point Grace and West Bay Club (located on the Bight Beach) are also part of the Grace Bay Resorts group of properties.
Alexandra Resort
Alexandra Resort is an all-inclusive property located on an excellent stretch of Grace Bay Beach. This resort is a great getaway choice for families seeking an all-inclusive stay on an amazing beach, yet who don’t need access to a water park or a few dozen restaurants.
The resort features studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Studios have kitchenettes and suites have full kitchens. All rooms have safes, TVs, and air-conditioning. There’s a great range of amenities and things to do at Alexandra Resort, including a lagoon-like pool, kayaks, paddleboards, Hobie Cat sailboats, beach volleyball, and bicycles.
Alexandra Resort is part of the Turks and Caicos Collection group of hotels. Guests staying at the Alexandra have complimentary access to the amenities and dining of its sister property, Blue Haven Resort. Blue Haven is located in the Leeward area of Providenciales near Mangrove Cay, which is a top kayaking and paddleboarding destination. Complimentary transport is provided between resorts.
Club Med Turkoise
Club Med Turkoise was the first large resort in the Turks and Caicos and is the oldest continually-operating resort in the country. In fact, Club Med was initiated back when Providenciales didn’t even have a paved runway. It was also the first all-inclusive resort in the country.
Club Med has undergone several complete renovations throughout the years to keep up with the times, with the most recent ending in early 2018 to repair damages caused by Hurricane Irma in late 2017.
The resort is a popular place for those seeking an active vacation. It offers great dining options, nightlife, and outdoor activities on land and at sea.
Club Med has always had a row of bright Hobie Cat sailing catamarans lined up on the beach for guests to use—a testament to the resort’s collection of water sports and things to do.
Point Grace
The refined Point Grace Resort isn’t as large as many of the other Grace Bay hotels, which in addition to the resort’s location on one of the quieter sections of Grace Bay makes it a tranquil choice. You can choose from a range of suites and elegant penthouse options.
The gourmet Grace's Cottage restaurant onsite adds to the resort's Caribbean ambiance. Point Grace is a good choice for visitors looking for a quiet stay or an elegant destination wedding resort for small to mid-sized celebrations.
Seven Stars Resort & Spa
Seven Stars is an eye-catching and expansive resort located in the heart of Grace Bay. Situated on one of the best stretches of the world-famous beach, this 115-room beach resort offers every luxury amenity you would expect. Seven Stars features three restaurants, a spa, and fully outfitted suites.
It's also conveniently located near numerous shopping plazas, restaurants, a grocery store, and more. Guests staying elsewhere can purchase a day pass to Seven Stars to experience the property and amenities for themselves.
The Shore Club
The luxury Shore Club is one of the few resorts on Providenciales not found on Grace Bay, but instead located on the more secluded coast of Long Bay Beach on the south side of Providenciales.
Long Bay is a bit different from Grace Bay, yet is a likewise spectacular beach. The sand here is very fine and soft, the ocean depth is shallow, and the water hue is a bit more on the turquoise side of the spectrum (compared to the topaz colors of Grace Bay).
Long Bay is a famous kiteboarding location, as the shallow water and wind direction create unparalleled kiting conditions.
The Shore Club is a beautiful property offering a range of accommodation types (from suites to villas), numerous pools, and several dining options. The resort is a popular wedding location and event venue.
Wymara Resort
Wymara Resort is located on the western side of Grace Bay at the Bight Beach, a coast with a slightly different character than central Grace Bay. The ocean here tends to be calmer, and lush seagrass grows further out in the water. The seagrass beds are great for snorkeling, as they attract green turtles and hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, stingrays, and starfish.
Wymara features a plethora of non-powered water sports, two restaurants, a spa, and a beautiful pool.
A counterpart to the main resort is Wymara Villas, a luxury vacation rental enclave located on the south coast of Providenciales at Turtle Tail. The elegant and contemporary villas here overlook the breathtaking turquoise of the Caicos Banks.
Ocean Club West
The counterpart resort to Ocean Club on the eastern side of Grace Bay, Ocean Club West is centrally located near Grace Bay Club and the shopping plazas of Ports of Call, One Season Plaza, and Caicos Café Plaza.
The hotel features studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, and has an onsite spa, the Solana restaurant, a fitness center, tennis courts, and a beautiful free-flowing pool.
There’s plenty within easy walking distance too. The collection of restaurants nearby includes The Terrace, The Deck and Seven at Seven Stars Resort, Caicos Café, Coco Bistro and Cocovan, Patty Place, and Infiniti Restaurant & Raw Bar and The Grill at the adjacent luxury Grace Bay Club.
Villa Renaissance
Another elegant yet low-key accommodation is Villa Renaissance. This quiet condo-hotel is within easy walking distance of Regent Village and the Saltmills Plaza, which are home to much of the shopping and dining in the Grace Bay area.
The beach fronting Villa Renaissance tends to see less foot traffic than other areas of Grace Bay.
Blue Haven Resort
Blue Haven Resort is located in Leeward on Providenciales, and is one of the few resorts with a private beach. The resort is also attached to the luxury Blue Haven Marina, which caters to incredible yachts and cruisers from around the world.
Onsite at Blue Haven are a few restaurants, great outdoor activities, excellent nearby kayaking and paddleboarding at the Princess Alexandra Nature Reserve, and a full range of luxury amenities.
Beaches Turks & Caicos
The expansive Beaches Turks and Caicos is probably the best-known all-inclusive resort in the Turks and Caicos. It's home to a water park, over 20 dining options, a huge range of amenities and activities, and six large swimming pools.
Beaches consists of several ‘villages’, each with a slightly different theme and styling. The property is oriented for families and children, with some of the restaurants, activities, and the game arcade especially catering to kids.
There’s a full range of accommodations offered at Beaches, ranging from studios to luxurious standalone villas with several bedrooms.
Beaches also offers a range of wedding packages, which include everything from the ceremony to photography and spa visits.
Amanyara
The remote and exclusive Amanyara resort is a top choice with the rich and famous and has attracted many celebrities. Amanyara is located on Malcolm’s Road Beach, a coast that’s quite different from what’s near other accommodations.
Malcolm’s Road Beach is part of the Northwest Point Marine National Park, and is much closer to the deep water off of the underwater plateau that supports the Caicos Islands. Consequently, the water is clear with an amazing blue hue, there are reefs to explore, and the area teems with marine wildlife.
The Palms
The Palms is a beautiful 72-suite resort on 12 acres (5 hectares) of Grace Bay. There’s an amazing infinity pool, an expansive spa, and several restaurants and dining settings.
Amenities at The Palms include a full fitness center, complimentary use of water sports equipment, and exquisite lush landscaping.
