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 Islands’ 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.
