48 Best Hotels in Turks and Caicos Islands

This all-inclusive beachfront resort on Grace Bay Beach offers spacious accommodations with large decks or balconies and kitchens or kitchenettes, plus amenities that include a lagoon-style pool, tennis courts, water-sports equipment, and other perks that appeal to families as well as couples. You can cook if you'd like, but rates include all meals, snacks, and drinks at two different resorts—a free shuttle service is offered to the sister property. The Alexandra is within walking distance of shops, snorkeling, and several other excellent restaurants.

With the ultimate zenlike atmosphere, this breathtaking luxury resort with 38 timber-shingled guest pavilions and 20 villas harmoniously blends with the indigenous vegetation and is the place for peace and quiet in a remote waterfront setting. On the island's northwest point, this exclusive hideaway's accommodations are minimalistic yet luxuriously appointed, with stand-alone tubs and rain showers, private bar area, surround-sound systems, 12-meter private pools, natural gardens, and reflection pond or ocean vistas. The two- to six-bedroom Aman Villas offer the ultimate in personal space, with Asian-influenced, understated elegance—each has its own personal chef and housekeeping staff. In the common areas each element has been carefully situated to take full advantage of large pools catching reflections of treetops and magical starlit nights, or sweeping shoreline views. The two restaurants have live music on weekends, an incredible bar pavilion (where you must try the champagne mojitos), an infinity-edge, lava-rock-lined swimming pool, movie room, and well-stocked library. Amanyara’s Nature Discovery Centre offers daily activities for guests older than 5. The resort’s location adjacent to Northwest Point Marine National Park offers wonderful diving and snorkeling.

On the quieter, western end of Grace Bay, this intimate adults-only, all-suites resort has a unique Caribbean air, and its full all-inclusive experience extends to sister properties The Alexandra and Blue Haven. Instead of numbers, the spacious suites have playful names like "Delight" and "Elated." It manages to balance an aura of exclusivity with a warm and friendly vibe, courtesy of the helpful staff. Check out the exotic yet subtle coconut room scent, too! Spacious balconies are a definite plus at this quiet retreat; you'll enjoy views over acres of natural dunes, as well as one of the widest stretches of Grace Bay, accessed through a stroll along the weathered wooden boardwalk reminiscent of childhood vacations. Alternatively, there are five units set in two-story cottage-style buildings with garden and pool views; the pool and restaurant are set behind their three-floor hotel-style building, as is the gym and tiny beachside spa; treatments may be indoors or experienced alfresco. This gorgeous boutique hotel is one of only a few on Provo where the units are not privately owned, and since it doesn't have to accommodate condo owners, you are more likely to get a room request honored.

Beaches is the largest resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and it offers more than 20 dining options, a full-service spa, and myriad water sports and activities. The 93-acre resort comprises four villages, each with distinct architecture and ambience: Italy, France, the Caribbean, and Key West. Accommodation is hotel-style throughout, with the exception of the Key West Village, where you'll find luxurious multi-bedroom condo-style lodgings. Kids, tweens, and teens enjoy the children's park, water slides, swim-up soda bar, and even an amazing teen-and-tween disco called Club Liquid. Note that nonguests can, pending occupancy levels, buy day passes good for 10 am to 6 pm and night passes covering 6 pm to 2 am for access to all facilities, restaurants, and the water park. 

Luxurious Blue Haven is the only resort on the far eastern end of the island, overlooking the beauty of au naturel Mangrove Cay and the mega-yachts moored dockside. This 51-suite all-inclusive condo hotel is directly on Leeward Channel, an active waterway between Provo and the string of little cays to the island’s east. With a hint of the Dutch Antilles in its exterior ambience, Blue Haven is a full-service resort: two restaurants on-site, Fire & Ice and the Salt Bar and Grill; The Market, offering groceries and other sundries plus a wonderful little café; excursion companies and water-sports operators; two bars; a fitness facility; and beach volleyball. The free-form infinity pool allows for minimal distinction between the creature comforts of such a refined resort and the wild side of what lies beyond Provo. In addition, Big Blue Unlimited—the island’s premier diving and ecoadventure company—is conveniently located adjacent to the resort. The luxuriously appointed suites all offer full kitchens and balconies overlooking the water, and the more economical premier guest rooms include a microwave and bar fridge, but no balcony. It's perfect for individuals, couples, or families wishing to stay at a location that offers easy access to all types of water sports—in style.

Divers are drawn to this basic yet comfortable hotel, whose on-site dive shop means there's no wait for some of the world's best diving. Choose a package that includes diving if that's what you're here for. Rooms are clean and simple with colorful island touches, the resort's restaurant is one of the best on the island, plus the resort is only a short walk to Front Street. Saturday night is the barbecue party, with roasted meats, live music, and dancing. The Ike and Donkey Beach Bar adds to the fun. If you're thinking of staying at Bohio, don't hesitate. They book up quickly. The owners make it easy. You book your flight into Provo, and they arrange your flight on interCaribbean airline to Grand Turk as well as your ground transfer—it's all included in your rate.

In contrast to the other, more tranquil Grace Bay resorts, this property has a vibrant party atmosphere with nightly entertainment and even a flying trapeze—it caters to fun-loving singles and couples, as it has a no-child policy. That said, the resort attracts a diverse crowd, including longtime Club Med aficionados who fly in from North America and Europe for the “club” that started it all; water sports has always been the draw in what was the area's first major resort, but many now come to “join the circus." The resort had a major much needed overhaul recently. Standard Club rooms in the village are basic, but the Deluxe rooms offer a slightly nicer decor and in-room amenities; both are set in small, colorful bungalows dotted close to the widest stretch of Grace Bay Beach. Note that individuals wishing to join in on the fun may do so through a day pass or a dinner pass, which takes in all evening entertainment, for $89 each, or you can spend all day and night there (no room included) for $149 and enjoy all the food, drink, and amenities.

This private paradise, on its own island, pairs tranquility with stellar service and features exquisite oceanfront villas along the beach, with an Asian-inspired look that contrasts with the simple hillside terra-cotta and stucco building that houses the rooms and spacious suites. Rooms are minimalist, with a sumptuous mix of cool-white interiors, Indonesian furnishings, and four-poster beds. Expect sorbet, cold bottled water, and cold, lemon-scented refreshment towels around the beach and pool. The villas are the ultimate indulgence, with heated lap pools, hot tubs, and butler service. The resort has two restaurants: The Terrace, featuring modern Mediterranean for dinner, and the more relaxed Caribbean-inspired Lotus, located poolside for daytime dining. The magnificent Como Shambhala Spa features expert Indonesian and Balinese therapists. Guests are greeted by a Parrot Cay representative upon arrival on Provo, transferred from the airport to a private dock, and then whisked off to Parrot Cay on a private shuttle.

The best off-the-beach snorkeling directly in front of Coral Gardens makes this resort and its large condo units a very popular spot. Each suite has floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, some with full sweeping views of the entire bay. Be sure to check their site plan when booking, as the on-site restaurant, Somewhere, partially blocks the view of several units, and late-night gatherings can create a less-than-peaceful atmosphere. With its close proximity to the ocean’s edge, it is amazing that the gardens and property have continued to look manicured and well taken care of over the years. All one- to three-bedroom condo-style rooms have bamboo-and-wicker furnishings with tropical prints; couches and beds are chosen for comfort. Throughout the resort, bathrooms include spacious showers, and the Ocean Club Grand suites have soaker tubs. There are two pools on the property, and guests have access to the fitness center and spa at the associated resort, the Reef Residences. It is worth noting that the two resorts share facilities, even though there are separate websites and check-in receptions; be sure you know what you are booking when contacting reservations. There's a seven-night minimum during peak season, and a three-night minimum at other times. Book for a week and your rate includes two 20-minute de-stress massages.

On their own secluded stretch of beach, these three two-bedroom apartments make a quiet getaway that is far enough from the cruise-ship port to give you some peace and quiet but still within walking distance of Duke and Front streets. The apartments are decorated with wicker and colorful Haitian paintings; there are overstuffed chairs on the covered patio. The beach has its own secluded cove, so you'll definitely feel out of the fray. Grand Turk is quiet and laid-back, with plenty of Old Caribbean charm, just like this complex.

At this property, dramatic cliffs skirt one of the most beautiful beaches in the Turks and Caicos, while turquoise-roofed cottages dot the hillside, all with outstanding views of the coastline and reef beyond. The small, self-contained open-plan cottages—perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary stay—have all been updated, keeping the island feel with soft blues and greens to meld with the beauty of the outdoors. All accommodations have screened-in porches and careful positioning to ensure that all have unobstructed views out to sea and take advantage of ocean breezes. Although it's secluded, it doesn't lack amenities. The concierge can arrange everything, including groceries, excursions to East Caicos and Joe Grants Cay, kayaks, snorkeling trips, and bonefishing. In the restaurant, floor-to-ceiling windows give the most amazing views—perhaps the best of all of the islands. Be sure to plan well in advance, as the resort books up fast.

The stylish Grace Bay Club has always been a number-one choice on Providenciales, constantly meeting the demands of the discerning visitor and staying consistently ahead of all expectations, and the helpful, attentive staff and unpretentious elegance have helped it to retain a loyal following. The architecture is reminiscent of Florence, with terra-cotta rooftops, shaded courtyards, and garden fountains. The resort is defined by three distinct sections: The Hotel, an adults-only accommodation; The Villas Suites, a spacious family-friendly slice; and The Estate, a family-friendly “über-luxe” experience that's a separate entity within the resort. Each has its own pool. Grace Bay Club has four dining options, from intimately elegant to casual. Families staying at The Hotel enjoy not only a large pool plus a bar and grill, but also an impressive range of children's activities through Kids Town: water sports on-site, kayaking trips, and all sorts of "edutainment" to keep even teenagers occupied. At the exclusive Estate, ground-floor suites are extra spacious, and some have plunge pools.

Although not on the beach, this small complex of six one-bedroom cottages along a ridge overlooking the Caicos Banks and inland Flamingo Lake is right by the marina, making it a good base for scuba diving, bonefishing, or a quieter vacation. Lovingly maintained, each unit is simple and clean, bursting with Caribbean color, and featuring a kitchen, sitting room, and bathroom, plus a pullout sofa bed. The hosts go out of their way to please, providing complimentary services like booking car rentals and stocking the fridge. In the evening, divers and fishing enthusiasts gather by the pool to share a meal after barbecuing. You may start off as a guest, but you're likely to leave as a friend and feel like family. Harbour Club is also perfect for family reunions or intimate weddings.

With 7 miles (11 km) of secluded beach and few others to share it with, this property with four upscale and tastefully furnished three-bedroom units is utterly simple and relaxing—each has a master bedroom with king-size bed; an open-concept kitchen, living room, and dining room; and a large screened-in sunroom with dining and lounging possibilities. There's no cable, but there are TVs. Guests also have two bikes and a pay-as-you-go phone dedicated to each unit, plus access to kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and an outdoor commercial-grade Weber grill. Sunsets may be enjoyed on the wooden terrace overlooking the beach or from one of the oceanside hammocks. Although there is no restaurant on-site, you can order fresh, tasty homemade dinners to be delivered to your suite, including chicken, ribs, conch, snapper, and spiny lobster, or have fresh fish for the grill dropped by. The island's best snorkeling is nearby at Three Mary Cays, and you may also choose to throw anchor on your kayak and snorkel the many coral heads directly in front of the complex.

You can save money by staying slightly away from the beach without giving up comfort or location at these condos overlooking Turtle Cove, which you can rent via Airbnb and VRBO. Rooms have sweeping views all the way down to Grace Bay over the marina. The red-tile roof contrasts with the turquoise water, and the two matching pools have sweeping views as well. The rooms are modern and more than comfortable, with upscale furnishings, fully equipped kitchens, and travertine floors. Even the smallest studios are spacious, starting at 700 square feet. The resort is within walking distance of numerous restaurants and some of the island's best off-the-beach snorkeling.

This resort in the middle of the hub offers easy access to nearby shops and restaurants, and is within close walking distance of Grace Bay Beach. It consists of 12 one-bedroom apartment-style lodgings, all with views of the lushly landscaped pool. Rooms are simple, but have a light and breezy Caribbean feel. A full kitchen and en-suite washer/dryer offers money-saving convenience that allows the more budget-conscious traveler a way to enjoy Grace Bay, which is just steps away. There's no need for a rental car if you stay here because the resort is so centrally located.

Modern and chic, this Italian-influenced condo complex with its minimalistic lines reminds one of a Miami South Beach hotel, minus the crowds. Le Vele is centrally located on Grace Bay Beach and consists of 22 ultra-spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums to choose from. Each unit, decorated in tropical hues with rich dark-wood accents, has an oversize balcony or patio to take ultimate advantage of phenomenal ocean views. 

Although not on the beach, this wonderful complex of villas is the only resort-style accommodation on the magical waters of Chalk Sound National Park, with nearby Sapodilla and Taylor Bays. Neptune Villas consists of two-bedroom, two-bath vaulted-ceiling cottages with either Chalk Sound or garden views. The owners have taken this older property that once consisted of long-term rentals and lovingly refurbished it into luxurious accommodations featuring full glass and stainless kitchens, high-end furnishings including poster beds, rich wood cabinetry, and marble bathrooms—one with shower and the other with tub. Each unit has three private balconies to take in a variety of views; some have a fourth with a hammock to while away a lazy afternoon. Jalousie windows allow fresh ocean breezes through to cool, and there are fans and AC as alternatives. The resort also offers a superb restaurant, Las Brisas, overlooking the sound, and a sunset pontoon boat excursion to get you out on the water. With midweek maid service, this little gem is perfect for two couples or a family traveling together.

Miles from nowhere, this resort should be your destination if you need complete solitude. In fact, it is so isolated that the paved road ends before you reach the front gates (it continues as packed sand). The Spanish-style resort itself is quite nice, with white walls and arches, red-tile roofs, and lovely landscaping. Rooms are spacious, with full kitchens and large balconies, many with amazing ocean views. Because it's condo-style, all units are individually owned and decorated. The pool is centrally located—oceanside—and there's even a hot tub. The beach here is natural and wild, but the resort staff rakes it daily. Although this is not Grace Bay, it is the westernmost extension of Provo’s beautiful north shore. Its long, uninterrupted stretch of sand goes for miles, with a wonderful little grassy vehicle track that parallels the shoreline, both great for nature walks. You definitely need a car if you stay here; there is no restaurant, and the nearest grocery store is a 20-minute drive away. You are truly totally isolated, with no services for miles and miles.

Enormous, locally painted pictures of hibiscus make a striking first impression as you enter the reception area at one of the island's most well-established condominium resorts, which enjoys a quiet location away from busier developments. Regular shuttles run along the ½-mile (1-km) stretch of Grace Bay Beach between two artfully landscaped sister properties, Ocean Club (popularly known as Ocean Club East) and Ocean Club West. Plenty of beach and pool toys make Ocean Club a great family option.

Its central location and large, affordable, comfortable rooms make this resort popular with vacationers. Regular shuttles run along the 1/2-mile (1-km) stretch of Grace Bay Beach between two artfully landscaped sister properties, Ocean Club (popularly known as Ocean Club "East") and Ocean Club West, from 6 am to 10:30 pm. Ocean Club West has a larger pool than Ocean Club, as well as a swim-up bar. Management and service are superb. Newer rooms than its sister property make this a more upgraded choice.

You can't get any closer to the water's edge than this two-story oceanfront hotel and the adjacent guesthouse-style Atrium overlooking a tropical courtyard. Palms, fragrant frangipani, and brilliant bougainvillea framed archways, adding stunning contrast to the old white stone walls that separate the hotel from the narrow laneway. Rooms upstairs feature vaulted ceilings and spectacular views, while ground-level guests enjoy direct beach access through their own garden. Some of the rooms have kitchenettes, so if you want to prepare some of your own meals, be sure to request upon booking. There's a full-service restaurant and bar and spa services, and you're steps away from all three dive shops on the island.

North Caicos islanders Susan and Clifford Gardiner built this small, palmetto-fringed hotel in the 1980s on this quiet and almost deserted beach in Whitby, and the couple's friendliness and insights into island life help create a full island ambience. The spa offers massages, facials, and a wide range of other services. Rooms are simple and comfortable, putting you steps away from the beach. Beds vary, as do amenities—some rooms have a fridge. 

Built with a turn-of-the-20th-century British colonial feel, the dark mahogany, granite, marble, and teak create a sense of warmth and comfort within each of the 28 luxurious one- to four-bedroom suites and penthouses. The resort is divided between those within the more traditional hotel-style buildings and romantic Caribbean cottages that skirt the opposite side. Antique furnishings, four-poster beds, and art reproductions lend classic style and elegance. Quaint (albeit posh) wooden cottages, set back off the dunes of Grace Bay Beach, house a European-style thalassotherapy spa. During your treatment, French doors are open to the fresh sea breeze and views of the blues beyond. Other highlights include Grace's Cottage and the resort’s pool bar.

If you don't mind a few minutes’ walk or complimentary stretch golf cart shuttle to get to Grace Bay Beach, then the reasonable room rates are definitely worth it. The resort has a designated space on the beach with attendants and full amenities. There are no restaurants on property, but step outside the entrance and the Shops of Ports of Call plaza has a number of restaurants to choose from, and there is a grocery store next door. 

This most recently opened hotel in the Turks and Caicos has already garnered the reputation of being the Capri of the Caribbean. Built into the hillside of Blue Mountain, Rock House is the epitome of luxury. Ranging from studios to two-bedroom homes, the property boats unobstructed views of the island's north shore.

With a contemporary take on colonial architecture and the outdoor feel of a botanical garden, this unpretentious resort on Grace Bay Beach has plenty of garden-view and beachfront studios and suites for moderate self-catering budgets. Interiors have a cool, tropical feel, mixing woods with florals and bright splashes of Caribbean colors. Mid-resort, the Pelican Bay Restaurant and Bar has a casual, poolside vibe. Guests can use bicycles to explore the island, as well as Hobie Cats, kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment beachside. Special packages and free-night offers are available during low season.

This resort's goal is to provide “barefoot luxury” and every detail has been carefully thought through. The villas offer complete privacy (some are more than a mile away from the Great House lobby and come with a rental car) plus elements of old-world charm mixed with comfort and convenience. Open-plan living spaces—where the warmth of wood and neutrals blend to create uniquely designed furnishings—include full, modern kitchens. Bedrooms have en suites with coral stone showers, and large terraces with private pools command views of the deep blues beyond. Room packages include a greeter at Provo airport who will assist with your transfer to the included domestic flight and pickup and ground transfer once you're on the ground in South Caicos. The property owns 700 acres on the island and maximum capacity is less than 100 guests. If you are staying on Provo, consider booking a day pass to visit Sailrock. With pickup and drop-off at your Provo hotel, round-trip flights on interCaribbean, ground transfer to and from Sailrock and use of all amenities and water-sports equipment and, of course, those unequaled views, it's a $175 per person well spent.

An unpretentious inn filled with island character and charm, this 19th-century house was built by shipwright Jonathan Glass in the 1850s, complete with its quirky nautical features. A large anchor on the sun-dappled pathway marks the entrance, and a large, breezy balcony with commanding views over the sea gives one the sense of what living on Grand Turk must have been like for those during the salt raking era, keeping watch over the comings and goings on land and at sea. Although ground floor rooms are shaded havens, they have no sea views. The two rooms upstairs share a balcony—a fabulous spot to watch the sun set and the donkeys that stroll the beach. One of the inn’s best features is the hidden garden of tall tamarind and neem trees, with climbing vines, hanging and potted plants, and a tiny pond, home to the Secret Garden Restaurant. 

Spacious gardens and winding pools set the tone for one of Provo's most family-friendly resorts, a 6-acre beachfront spread with helpful service and excellent amenities that include a spa, a good-size fitness room, water sports, tennis, basketball, and on-site dining. Sparkling ocean views from huge screened-in patios and floor-to-ceiling windows are best in the oceanfront suites in Blocks 3 and 4, which are closest to the beach. Two free-form swimming pools meander through the center of the resort, and the third is oceanfront, taking in water views and refreshing breezes. Beach toys are available for the kids, including swim noodles and buckets with shovels.
