The 12 Best Luxury Hotels in Providenciales

What our travel advisors arrange most often on Providenciales is the day on the water: the reef off the north coast makes snorkeling easy, and from the boats you reach the small islands where nobody else is.

Alongside it: Grace Bay, whose sand is fine enough to squeak underfoot; Chalk Sound in the southwest, a lagoon full of tiny islands; the ferry to North Caicos, from where a causeway continues to Middle Caicos; and the salinas of neighboring Salt Cay, which the islands once lived on.

And the food: conch, the large sea snail, which appears on every menu as salad, fritters and chowder; fresh lobster in season from August to March; jerk spice from the neighboring islands; and rum punch, which you never have to look far for on any beach.

On breakfast the island is almost uniform: it is included for two people at all eleven hotels – at The Ritz-Carlton Turks and Caicos Islands in the CORALLI restaurant, at Amanyara in The Restaurant. At The Shore Club Turks and Caicos it is an American breakfast.

On the hotel credit, 100 US dollars belongs to The Ritz-Carlton Turks and Caicos Islands, the Wymara Resort Turks & Caicos, the Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay, The Shore Club Turks and Caicos, the West Bay Club and The Palms Turks & Caicos.

At South Bank Providenciales it is 50 US dollars. And at three properties the amount depends on the category: at the Point Grace Resort Providenciales 50 in the One Bedroom Suites and 100 from the Two Bedroom Suites, at the Grace Bay Club 100 from the Junior Suite and, for the villas from two nights, another 100 for food and drink.

Amanyara has a particularity: there the 100 US dollars is for the spa – and in several villas another 100 is added from two nights, again for the spa.
