Blue Haven Resort

 

Set in the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the Turks and Caicos Islands are known for their long white sand beaches and easy access to some of the region’s best coral reefs and dive sites. It’s a favourite spot for divers of all levels, from first-timers working towards a PADI certification to experienced divers heading out to the barrier reef. The accommodation reflects that focus on the water, from the beach resorts with on-site dive centres to more affordable hotels close to the islands’ most popular dive spots.
