Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

The largest and most popular of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Providenciales is the epitome of a luxurious beach destination in an idyllic Caribbean setting. It boasts some of the world’s best beaches, along with lavish spas, shops, restaurants, water sports, golf courses and stunning natural scenery.

Beaches and Activities

The beautiful beach at Grace Bay is regularly voted as the best in the world, and it is not difficult to see why. Soft chalky white sand, inviting azure water and picturesque palm trees swaying softly in the breeze make this a picture-perfect location. Many of the opulent resorts and hotels can be found in this area, meaning that top-notch restaurants, spas and other amenities are conveniently within reach.

Besides relaxing and sunbathing, Grace Bay and the nearby beaches are popular spots for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. A spectacular coral reef system, one of the largest in the world, presents a fascinating underwater world brimming with breathtaking colors and diverse marine life.

Other activities to be enjoyed here include fishing, sailing and golf. Providenciales is home to the Provo Golf Club – an 18-hole championship course in exquisite surroundings that is considered one of the top golfing facilities in the Caribbean.

Sightseeing

To get an insight into local life and history, it is well worth checking out some of the oldest settlements on the island, such as Blue Hills and The Bight. Visitors can also take a boat tour to the intriguing La Famille Express Shipwreck, see the world’s only conch farm at Leeward, or explore the remains of Cheshire Hall, an 18th Century cotton plantation.

An attraction not to be missed is Chalk Sound National Park, a natural lagoon with incredible turquoise water dotted with many small islands. Nearby is the secluded Sapodilla Bay where one can peruse the names of past shipwrecked sailors etched into the rocks.

Shopping and Dining

Delicious fresh seafood and a wide variety of international cuisines are in abundance on Providenciales. While the upscale resorts provide the very best in fine dining, many visitors venture to the Bight Park on Thursdays for the famous Fish Fry. This hugely popular event affords an opportunity to sample some of the island’s conch and to be entertained with live music. There are also vendors selling crafts here – perfect for picking up souvenirs to take home.

An excellent selection of boutique stores, bars and restaurants can be found at Turtle Cove. The Saltmills Plaza is Grace Bay’s premier shopping district offering an array of retail and dining options.
