Where
are we? Easy and Quick to Access via Major Airlines.
Just beyond the Bahamas lies an archipelago of islands known to
a select few adventurers, a handful of savvy travel experts, and
to knowledgeable scuba diving experts. Locals call it Provo, but
you'll call it Paradise! Providenciales (Provo), the biggest island
of Turks and Caicos, is located 575 nautical miles southeast of
Miami and 39 miles southeast of the Bahamas. Providenciales is serviced
by major airline jet flights to one
of the Caribbean's longest runways - just 1 hour and 20 minutes
from Miami and less than 3 hours from New York City.
"Why Come to Providenciales?"
Beauty Above, Beauty Below!
Crystal clear turquoise waters surround Turks and Caicos' eight
islands and over forty cays, sun swept white beaches and breathtaking
coral reefs. Most say, "The best sunsets they have ever seen."
Development on Provo is tasteful and modern, with consideration
to its natural surroundings. There are no high-rise structures,
no crowds, no riffraff and no solicitations on our beaches "to
have your hair braided". And thus, Turks and Caicos Islands
have preserved a coveted, relaxed pace that vacationers and residents
alike have searched the world for and found on Provo. Unspoiled.
Beautiful. Inviting. Providenciales is the Caribbean as it was meant
to be.
"Why
Come to Providenciales?" For an Adventure of a Lifetime!
Turks and Caicos scuba diving is an incredible adventure you won't
find anyplace else. Come to Provo for incredible scuba diving, fishing,
windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling and other water sports. Providenciales,
along with its world-class snorkeling and scuba diving, also boasts
an 18-hole championship golf course, ranked in the top 10 best Caribbean
golf courses by "Caribbean Travel & Life." Turks and
Caicos Islands are also listed in the top 20 hot spots in the world
for bill fishing by "Sport Fishing" magazine.
"Why
Come to Providenciales?" Turquoise Waters & Incredible
Beaches!
Providenciales boasts one of the world's top ten beaches at Grace
Bay - per (Conde Nast Travel). You can lazily stroll along a magnificent
span of pure white sandy beach, which stretches for 12 miles! There
is no other place on Earth that can match its beauty of turquoise
water lapping up against Grace
Bay's beautiful white sands. It is truly a "professional
photographer's" paradise to see these astonishing colors. Our
beaches are unspoiled, and unlike many United States' beaches, you
can plant your umbrella and sunbathe in privacy. There are many
stretches of beach where you can claim hundreds of feet as your
own territory; even in front of popular resorts, a 40-foot privacy
radius is not uncommon. Meet JoJo, a local dolphin (lives in the
wild) who lost his family pod years ago, and subsequently has adopted
Grace Bay vacationers as his pseudo family. JoJo checks in, frolicing
with snorkelers in Grace Bay many times per week.
"Why Come to Providenciales?"
The Best Weather in all the Caribbean!
Providenciales and its sister islands making up the Turks and Caicos
archipelago is in its own micro Sunbelt. To the south Dominican
Republic boasts immense tropical air and humidity; and to the north
the true Bahamas can also be dripping wet with humidity - Turks
and Caicos is an anomaly to its surroundings. A very arid environment
with the indigenous plant being the "Turks Head Cactus."
This is a testimonial to its average humidity of only 40%, average
daily temperatures in the mid-80's, constant light trade winds to
diminish heat, and many consecutive days of sunshine (without rain)
each month. Yes, there may be a shower lasting only one-half hour
sometimes, but seldom does it rain for a whole day straight. It
is often asked, "Does Turks and Caicos have a rainy season"?
The answer to this is that there is no predictability or rainy season,
when it rains for two straight days (could be in April, could be
in September) this is our rainy season. Again, while there are no
guarantees in nature, the probability that you will get rained out
of a whole day on your vacation, is minimal. Achieving a suntan
is guaranteed.
World
Class Accommodations! Modern, Clean, Unlike Other Islands.
Although the island is unspoiled and pristine, as more and more
have discovered Provo and subsequently returned, real estate development
has been inevitable. Learning from mistakes of others islands and
other over-developed vacation icons of yesterday, the government
and locals have adopted strict zoning and development requirements.
So while Providenciales is exploding with new beachfront resorts
- they are being built without spoiling Turks and Caicos Island'
beauty - no high rise structures, maximum spacing between properties,
minimum set backs from beaches and abundant landscaping. In lieu
of these resorts starting to dot the beachfront, the beach at Grace
Bay is, and always will be, pristine because of the government's
foresight. Most accommodations, having been built in the last 10
years, are very modern and filled with all the amenities. Your preference
dictates what caliber accommodations you wish to stay at, as Provo
provides a complete spectrum of choices: all inclusive, bed and
breakfasts, inns, hotels, resorts, five star hotels and villas.
