The Sands at Grace Bay

The Turks and Caicos is an idyllic Caribbean archipelago of around 40 islands, where powdery soft white sands, clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs make for an unforgettable beach escape. While Providenciales is home to the famous Grace Bay Beach and many of the islands' best resorts, quieter spots like Grand Turk and the smaller cays offer a slower pace and plenty of hidden gems. Whether you're searching for a family beach resort, a luxurious private island retreat, an all-inclusive hotel with great facilities or a spacious villa with self-catering amenities, you'll find plenty of fantastic options, along with world-class snorkelling, diving and natural beauty at every turn.
