Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

Surrounded by beautiful white sand beaches, Provo has been ranked “Best Beach” by Conde’ Nast magazine and by the World Travel Awards for several years running. Found on the western end of the island chain, Provo offers all modern conveniences, including numerous restaurants, spas, shopping facilities, and more. Although Provo is the most developed of the islands, it is still a destination for those who want to escape their busy schedules and relax.

With the most pristine, turquoise water and beach in the world, it’s no surprise that most of the activities in Turks and Caicos, and things to do in Providenciales, revolve around the ocean and beach. Scuba diving, snorkeling tours, kayaking eco-tours and boat charters are great ways to make your stay memorable. Providenciales is also the center for excellent sport fishing found in Turks and Caicos.

On the north shore of the island, near Grace Bay, you will find the most beautiful beaches, as well as a long coral reef, which is rich in aquatic life. Voted the World's #1 Best Beach by TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice awards, Grace Bay is 12 miles of sweeping white sand beach. Here you will find Beaches Turks & Caicos where you can feast in an assortment of delicious restaurants, pamper yourself with a soul-and body-renewing treatment at the heavenly Red Lane^® Spa, or just surrender to the sunshine in your chaise lounge drawn right up to the Caribbean Sea.

Splash, swim, and sip the day away with new friends at a sparkling swim-up pool bar. Have the time of your life and experience your very own playground in the heart of the gorgeous tropics. If you want to venture out, Grace Bay beach is also the home to the Princess Alexandra Marine Park, which is the playground of “Jo Jo” the famous bottlenose dolphin. Visitors to the world’s first Conch Farm discover how to grow conch from tiny veligers to four-year-old adults.
