Turquoise waters and white-sand beaches are trademarks to the over forty islands and cays that make up the ‘Beautiful by Nature’ Turks and Caicos Islands. Considered the World’s best-kept secret, the Turks and Caicos Islands are an easy escape. Each island and cay in the archipelago is a destination on its own. The islands welcome visitors to enjoy the pristine beaches, indulge in world-class spas, delectable dining, culture, and local traditions. Experience some of the best and most luxurious accommodations the world has to offer: from beautiful resorts to luxury villas, Turks and Caicos has it all.

Turks and Caicos reopened its crystalline waters to travelers in July 2020. While many countries have closed their borders to Americans, the archipelago has joined Caribbean islands like Aruba, the Dominican Republic, and St. Lucia in welcoming US tourists. Restrictions apply.

We all know that families and friends are going to want to reunite, and eventually plan delayed celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and so much more. So, let’s have a closer look at the luxury villas Turks and Caicos has to offer.

When you are ready to travel, consider the following wonderful luxury villa options for a Caribbean beach vacation and relax in your own private paradise.

Why You Should Choose One of the Luxury Villas in Turks and Caicos

The destination

With more than 230 miles of white-sand beaches, incredible turquoise seas, and some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs, the Turks and Caicos Islands are arguably the hidden gem of the Caribbean. They’re less than 90 minutes from Miami, and about a three-hour flight from New York City. Here, you’ll find historic villages barely touched by tourism and crystal-clear waters full of marine life, plus pristine beaches perfect for spending long, relaxing days. The Turks and Caicos are also home to the world’s third-largest barrier reef, after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the Belize Barrier Reef, making it a premier diving destination. And, the people on the various islands are known for their friendliness.

The climate

The islands have one of the lowest annual rainfall averages in the region, which ensures plenty of sun-drenched days to enjoy its pristine beaches. As the Turks and Caicos are fairly close to the equator, the temperature doesn’t vary much from season to season. The “coldest” month of the year is December, with a pleasant daily high of 80°F (27°C) and a daily low of 73°F (23°C).

The privacy and space

In times of COVID and post-COVID you will be happy to enjoy one of the amazing luxury villas in Turks and Caicos to share just with your friends and family. Smaller boutique-style resorts and private villas mean less crowded spaces, less direct contact with the outside world, and fewer human interactions. On top of that, many resorts have large, open restaurants or open-air patios that you will be able to enjoy year-round.

The amenities and special services

Most Turks and Caicos private villas feature spacious bedrooms, modern bathrooms, expansive decks or patios, and breathtaking ocean views. They provide not only the comforts of home but also features and amenities that you are not likely to enjoy at home. Most beach house rentals feature well-equipped kitchens, modern audio and video systems, and washers and dryers should you wish to do some laundry while on vacation.

Many other services are often included with a villa rental. For example:

– Private Butler on-hand for every need
– VIP airport transfers, regardless of arrival/departure times
– Fast-track arrival and departure at the airport.
– Villa stocked with alcohol, mixers, soda, and waters
– Breakfast available to be served in the villa or enjoyed in the courtyard
– Designer bath and special turn-down scents
– Special kids’ amenities, books, toys, and baby monitors
– Dedicated Hobie Cat and other watersports equipment for villa guests

Additional add-on services are available, such as a private chef, kiteboarding/yoga/surf lessons, full villa grocery pre-stocking, live entertainment, dry cleaning services, and car rentals.

The celebrities

Turks and Caicos is also a hot spot for celebrities (think Justin Bieber, and Brad Pitt) looking to unwind and enjoy the “simple” luxuries with their closest friends or family members. Some of the resorts even ask you to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

Luxury Resort or Luxury Villas in Turks and Caicos – Which One is Right for You?

If you are with friends or family who want a more relaxed, less structured atmosphere where you can enjoy each other’s company, renting a luxury villa may be the answer. But if you are traveling with a group of friends whose interests and expectations for service vary widely, then a luxury resort hotel may offer an ideal solution.

Whether your preference is for total seclusion or fun in the sun, there is a Turks and Caicos villa rental that is ideally suited for you. Even though everyone has a different vision of the “perfect” beach, the Turks and Caicos Islands boast some of the world’s top-rated beaches. The white sand beach at Grace Bay on Provo was voted No. 1 on the Conde Nast Traveler 2019 list of the “World’s Best Beaches.”

Luxury villas are often close to some of the best beaches in Turks and Caicos. When you rent one of these luxury vacation homes, you can set up any level of service you desire. This includes regular housekeeping and laundry service, private chefs, butlers, in-villa masseuses, chauffeurs, and more. The luxury rental homes tend to be contemporary, with simple, minimalist interiors, lots of glass framing the views, comfortable furnishings, and neutral decor. The focus is on the natural beauty of the surroundings.
