he Bight is a quiet community in central Providenciales that’s found between Grace Bay and Turtle Cove. The beachfront side of this region is home to luxury resorts and villas, and the interior supports several low density and traditional residential neighborhoods.
The Bight Beach is an exquisite and calm coastline, with a wide white sand beach and lush seagrass beds further out in the ocean. Several small yet beautiful snorkeling reefs are found in the area, including the popular Bight Reef (also known as Coral Gardens) and many smaller reef systems. Directly to the west of the Bight Beach is the Smith's Reef coastline. The Bight Beach is a popular coast in that it combines incredible beach and water with interesting snorkeling, unlike many of the other top beaches in the country, which don’t quite have the equivalent reefs near shore.
The Bight is a convenient place to stay at. There are many restaurants in the area, and Grace Bay, the expansive Graceway IGA supermarket, and Turtle Cove is only a few minutes away by car.
Wymara
Wymara is a chic and modern resort on a spectacular section of the Bight Beach. Onsite is a great pool, the gourmet Stelle and Zest restaurants, and the Pink Bar which serves a select collection of rosé wines and blush champagnes. Stays include the use of a great range of non-powered water sport amenities, including kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and Hobie Cat sailboats.
Wymara also manages a range of luxury private villa accommodations, for those looking for more space and seclusion. Their villas are located on the turquoise Caicos Banks on in the upscale Turtle Tail area, and amenities include airport transfers, onsite manager and concierge service, housekeeping, and on-demand transport to Wymara Resort, where access to additional amenities is provided.
Coral Gardens
If snorkeling is something you’re looking forward to on your Turks and Caicos vacation, Coral Gardens Resort is perfect place to stay. Fronting the resort is the very popular Bight Reef, which starts directly off the beach. See a spectrum of colorful fish, from radiant queen angelfish, to the schools of stoplight parrotfish.
Coral Gardens can be one of the better beachfront values on the Grace Bay and Bight Beach coastline. Amenities include fully equipped kitchens and two swimming pools.
Windsong Resort
Windsong Resort, like Coral Gardens, directly fronts the Bight Reef, so snorkeling is only steps away. This luxury resort features 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom penthouse luxury rooms, which boast of spectacular views.
Amenities include the use of kayaks, paddleboards, Hobie Cat sailboats, bicycles, heated pool, and more. Onsite is the Drift Spa, Jojo’s Poolside Café, and the Dune Restaurant.
The Windsong Resort also offers an all-inclusive package, which includes transport, car rental, offsite dining, and more.
West Bay Club
West Bay Club, which is part of the Grace Bay Club group of resorts, is another excellent luxury resort on a great section of the beautiful Bight Beach. This contemporary Caribbean retreat features two dining establishments, the Drift Restaurant and the Bar and Kitchen.
West Bay Club offers a full range of amenities, including complimentary use of water sports equipment and bicycles, a fitness center, grocery stocking, full beach service, complimentary breakfast, and concierge.
The Alive and Well Resorts
The two Alive and Well group resorts, Kokomo Botanical Resort and One On Marlin, are not located in the Bight, yet they do maintain their own beach club on the coast with amenities, and provide complimentary and constant transport between their resort and club on the Bight Beach.
Kokomo Botanical Resort prides itself on its lush landscaping, laid-back yet elegant ambiance, and top-tier dining experience. Their East restaurant, which serves international favorites with an Asian influence, creates dishes from only the freshest ingredients.
A counterpart to Kokomo is the nearby adult-only One On Marlin micro resort, which also features lush landscaping, a very quiet setting, and complimentary transport to Kokomo resort and the Bight Beach.
