CITY GUIDE · TURKS AND CAICOS
We compare Turks and Caicos hotels by island and access first, then by beach: Grace Bay and Long Bay on Providenciales, or an outer island that needs a boat or a flight.
Most visitors fly into Providenciales airport and stay on Grace Bay Beach, where restaurants and shops are within reach: The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos, Grace Bay Club, Wymara Resort and Villas and The Palms Turks and Caicos all sit here. The Palms spreads over 12 acres with a large spa and suits families who want suites with kitchens. Grace Bay Club has an adults-only hotel building alongside villa suites and estate residences. Long Bay, on the quieter side of Providenciales, suits kiteboarders and travelers who want space: The Shore Club Turks and Caicos is a resort there, and Beach Enclave offers private villas with a chef and butler. For seclusion we look to the outer islands, all of which need more than a car ride. COMO Parrot Cay is reached by a short drive to Leeward Marina and then a boat. Ambergris Cay is reached by a short island-hopper flight from Providenciales. Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos is on South Caicos, about a 20-minute flight from Providenciales.
Reference rates: nightly, 2 adults in one room, before tax, across four dates a year; from about US$536 a night.
