The Turks and Caicos, situated at the southern tip of the Bahamian Archipelago, consists of around 100 different islands and coral cays, only eight of which are inhabited. More than anything, they’re famed for their white-as-cotton beaches, which bend and wind through seas of milky turquoise blue like something lifted straight out of paradise.
There are countless sands to explore. The world-famous Grace Bay Beach is often heralded as the most beautiful beach on the planet. One glance at its soft white powder and azure water, and it’s hard to disagree. There are vibrant coral reefs for the snorkellers and twisted divi-divi trees with sunbeds beneath for those who simply want to laze their days away. Luxury villas just steps from the sands of Grace Bay are hard to beat!
Nature lovers cannot miss Half Moon Bay. It’s a lonely sandbar that rises in the midst of a shimmering lagoon with nothing but a few coconut palms capping off its top. There’s excellent swimming in the shallows, and the beach is home to the curious Turks and Caicos rock iguana, which you can see scurrying in and out of the sea vines.
And there’s more… With its shallow waters and constant eastern trade winds, Long Bay Beach is ideal for kiteboarding as well as horse riding along the shoreline. Then there’s uber-romantic Pine Cay, where you’ll gaze at sunsets that blaze pinkish-red over the western Caribbean each evening, rum in hand, of course.
When you do peel yourself off one of the fantastic beaches of the Turks and Caicos, get ready for catamaran cruises and dolphin-spotting tours, birdwatching in flamingo-stalked wetlands, and dining in local seafood taverns that serve up traditional conch straight off the grill.
Finally, unlike many of its neighbouring Caribbean countries, the Turks and Caicos Islands have one of the lowest annual rainfall counts in the region. Moreover, the small islands are made up of low-elevation terrain, covered in tropical dry forest and marine mangrove wetlands, meaning clouds often pass right over.
Our selection of luxury villas in the Turks and Caicos – from Grace Bay to Long Bay and beyond – promise unrivalled quality on this gorgeous chain of islands. They’ll put you right by the iconic beaches and offer all the bells and whistles of a truly indulgent escape – infinity pools, beachside suites, sprawling lounges and outdoor terraces.
