Ultra Luxury Turks and Caicos Holidays

The Turks and Caicos Islands’ beaches are world-renowned, with the incomparable Grace Bay Beach as its main attraction. Not only does this slice of paradise present some of the most flawless scenery you’ll have ever laid eyes on, there’s also plenty going on. Enjoy amazing water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, fine dining at a luxury resort, and boutique shopping along the seafront.

Want a more low-key setting for beachside bliss? Head further along the coast to Leeward Beach on the northernmost tip of Providenciales. This unfussy spot is great for effortless relaxation in the sunshine without the throng of tourists around Grace Bay Beach. Further south lies a great all-rounder, Long Bay Beach, with three miles of soft sands and sparkling waters that afford a great day out for all the family, including various activities such as kiteboarding and guided horseback rides.

Eating is a serious affair here, and you’ll be able to find fabulous cuisine to suit any mood. The highest concentration of restaurants, bars, and cafés lies in Providenciales, and ranges from five-star resort establishments to casual bars and grills right on the beach.

Da Conch Shack is a much-loved Turks and Caicos hangout located in Blue Hills that exudes a truly laid-back Caribbean vibe. Here, you can dine with the sand between your toes underneath swaying palm trees and soak up the island ambience. Coco Bistro is another popular haunt set within a tranquil coconut grove in Grace Bay, serving up an array of gourmet Caribbean and international fusion dishes, which include fresh seafood options, alongside an impressive wine list.

For a fine dining experience, head to Seven, located at the Seven Stars Resort. This elegant restaurant serves traditional Caribbean-inspired plates merged with international flavours, and a not-too-shabby cocktail menu to boot! Afterwards, take a night-time stroll along nearby Grace Bay Beach to help work off that dessert.

Be one with the locals and seek out the incredible Thursday Fish Fry festivities, then gather to dine on fresh seafood and dance to live music. This beloved event showcases the very best of the islands’ culinary offerings, rich culture, and energetic community spirit.

Snorkelling and diving opportunities are plentiful in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and you can do so from the ease of the beach or on a leisurely private yacht cruise. Smith’s Reef is a firm favourite, as is The Bight Reef, also known as Coral Gardens, which promises great snorkelling to see the habitats of sea turtles, stingrays, the odd nurse shark, and a gamut of colourful fish.

Near the Leeward area of Providenciales sits Little Water Cay, also known as Iguana Island for its profusion of captivating rock iguanas, an endangered species native to the Turks and Caicos. It’s a great excuse for a short boat trip out, with its gorgeous beaches, nature trails, and, of course, the thousands of fascinating lizards!
