Turks and Caicos Spas, Fitness & Wellness
As a luxury tourism destination, the Turks and Caicos offers a great selection of services that cater to personal well-being, including spas, massage therapists, yoga and Pilates studios, gyms and fitness classes, chiropractors, physiotherapists, and salons.
A few companies also offer fitness and wellness retreats that combine workouts and personal training with healthy prepared meals, boat tours and excursions, and workshops.
The island of Providenciales is home to most of the tourism development in the country and—consequently—most of the upscale travel amenities and large Turks and Caicos hotels. The vast majority of health and well-being practices in the Turks and Caicos are located on Providenciales.
Spas and Massage Therapists
There’s a great selection of independent and resort spas in the Turks and Caicos Islands offering a range of beauty and wellness services. Many luxury resorts have their own onsite spa. A few of the larger all-inclusive resorts also feature their own branded international wellness lines, such as Sandals’ Beaches Turks & Caicos Red Lane Spa and COMO Parrot Cay Resort’s Shambhala Retreat.
Prices at spas in the Turks and Caicos are often higher than what you would pay at the typical spa in the United States or Canada. This is especially true for spas at the luxury resorts. While the menu varies by business, most spas offer manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages. Some also offer treatments like reflexology and body scrubs.
If you aren't staying at a luxury resort, consider booking with one of the many great independent spas. Spa Tropique, which has several locations on Providenciales, has been operating for over 20 years. The spa offers a full menu, from massages to facials, manicures, waxing, and other beauty treatments. Spa Tropique also has a mobile spa that can visit your hotel or villa.
Exercising on Providenciales
A great benefit of working out in the Turks and Caicos Islands is getting to exercise outside year-round. The islands boast great weather and an incredible and tranquil environment. Numerous accommodations have oceanfront areas, such as beach decks and rooftops, that can host workout classes. Beach yoga and fitness sessions are fairly common on Providenciales.
Many of the water sports that are popular in the Turks and Caicos are great exercise. Stand-up paddleboarding is one of the more popular choices, yet kayaking, open water swimming, and even snorkeling can provide a good workout as well.
Throughout the year, fitness events including runs, sailing events, and water sports competitions are held in the islands. One of the biggest events is Race for the Conch, an annual open water swim competition held off Grace Bay Beach.
Sports and fitness instructors in the Turks and Caicos generally have certifications from internationally recognized organizing bodies, especially in the case of water sports such as freediving, kiteboarding, scuba diving, and swimming.
Indoors, you can find a range of exercise, cardio, and wellness classes, such as yoga, Pilates, spinning, stretching, kickboxing, body conditioning, and more.
Yoga and Pilates
Providenciales is home to a handful of small yoga and Pilates studios that cater to both visitors and locals. Indoor yoga classes are offered daily at local studio Tri-island Yoga in Grace Bay. While they aren't regularly scheduled, oceanfront and beach yoga classes are a great way to decompress while enjoying the warm breeze and ocean views.
Some luxury accommodations, such as the upscale Beach Enclave villa collection, include complimentary yoga and wellness sessions for guests.
Fitness Centers and Gyms
Providenciales has several fitness centers and gyms, the largest of which is the Graceway Sports Center. It features a full gym and both indoor and outdoor facilities equipped for tennis, pickleball, basketball, squash, roller hockey, and badminton. Most resorts have their own small fitness center with weights and exercise machines.
Wrightfully Fit is the most conveniently located gym for those staying in Grace Bay. In addition to a full-service equipment room and a training space for personal and group classes, Wrightfully Fit hosts wellness retreats for those looking to keep fit and prioritize healthy living on vacation. The retreats include beach yoga, physical training, wellness workshops and seminars, and a private yacht trip to Little Water Cay with snorkeling.
Although largely geared towards locals, bootcamps are a popular fitness activity on Providenciales that offer high-intensity circuits and training designed to help clients lose weight and gain muscle fast.
You can also find CrossFit workouts on Providenciales at IronShore CrossFit, located off Leeward Highway near Scotiabank.
Clinics and Hospitals
