PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands (DAY ONE of TWO) — In the days of being connected 24-7, there is a place where adults can unplug, unwind and become a kid again. Shelve the responsibilities, to-do lists and bring out the inner child. Playtime, joy, happiness and fun is waiting just miles from home.
Located in exotic Grace Bay in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands is Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa, a multi-faceted fantasy world, where pastel pink bungalows are nestled in tropical gardens resplendent with graceful palms. Here, there are almost enough pools for each day of the week, and the last day is reserved for the largest pool of all, the clear turquoise sea bordered by a 12-mile stretch of beach. Made up of four distinct areas, Beaches Turks & Caicos offers the seaside garden paradise of the Caribbean Village, the sophisticated style of the French Village, the monumental surroundings of the Italian Village, along with the Key West Village which features three and four bedroom villas.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas, about 647 miles southeast of Miami, F.L.
Ranked one of the top 10 best scuba diving destinations in the world, Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa is a Caribbean wonderland of adventure and luxury for kids of all ages.
