Our spacious 3 BR/3.5 BA private villa is situated on a remarkable 1,100 feet of ocean frontage. Directly located on the world renowned Grace Bay Beach, heralded by prestigious Conde Nast Travelers Magazine as “perhaps the best beach in the world”, our residential villa enjoys ocean views from two master suites, as well as the kitchen, dining and living rooms. The nearly 2,800 square foot residence is designed to optimize the coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle, through the introduction of expansive walls of glass, disappearing sliding doors, and spacious terraces. The Villa’s location within Grace Bay is of particular significance. The site has a natural westerly view where you can bask in the island's most awe-inspiring sunsets. The tranquil waters of Grace Bay Beach, sheltered by the protective reef, await, ready to transport you to paradise.

Located at the highly acclaimed Grace Bay Club (see link below for resort website and villa floor plan), this residential resort is widely regarded as one of the finest luxury properties in the Caribbean. Grace Bay mesmerizes with powder white sand and gentle ocean waters. Towering coconut palms, fragrant jasmine, hibiscus and brilliant bougainvillea frame the spectacular vistas. The five-star resort is located directly on Grace Bay Road, which means easy access and close proximity to Grace Bay's restaurants and boutiques. Provo Golf Course, rated as one of the top ten courses in the Caribbean, is just a two-minute drive from your doorstep. Whether you wish to dine, shop, snorkel, swim, bike, or visit one of the Island's two marinas, the Villa is close to all the amenities you'll want to experience during your stay.

Inside the spacious Villa, Spanish tiles, rich woods, stone, glass, textured fabrics, Egyptian cotton linens, upholstery, rugs and decorative pottery make the setting a luxurious vacation home-away-from-home. There is also cable television displayed on plasma and LCD screens, DVD players, CD stereo, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, washer/dryer (laundry service, if desired), high speed internet access and telephones with voice mail capability. Casually elegant handcrafted furniture and original artwork make our Villa unique in style, comfort and presence.

You can spend relaxing hours around both of the exquisite oceanfront pools or along the pristine sandy beach lazing in an umbrella shaded chaise lounge. You will have access to a member's private clubhouse, onsite fitness center and chic European-style Serenity Day Spa. In addition, the resort boasts a new air-conditioned business center with free high speed internet access.

At the resort’s acclaimed oceanfront restaurant, Anacaona, you can dine at tables under open-air, thatched roof "palapas" overlooking the sea. The mesmerizing view and sophisticated cuisine thrill the senses. In the evenings, the romantic ambiance is beautified by flickering candlelight and tiki torches. Anacaona serves fine Euro-Caribbean cuisine against the breathtaking backdrop of colorful Grace Bay. Evenings bring dining under the stars by the glow of candlelight and tiki torches. A local band entertains several nights a week, offering live dancing under the stars.

The weather is perfect in summer and blissfully warm in winter at the Grace Bay Club, where the Caribbean's refreshing trade winds keep the setting extremely comfortable. The Turks and Caicos, being relatively flat islands and located at the northern end of the Caribbean, do not have a rainy season in summer.

*****UPDATE*****

The Turks & Caicos Islands (“TCI”), and Providenciales (“Provo”) in particular, is earning a reputation as one of the most desired locations in the Caribbean for prime luxury properties. The fact that these islands have gone undiscovered and unspoiled is perhaps its biggest asset. These groups of islands, once known only by a few, are now becoming a choice location for those who can choose anything.

Provo exemplifies the delicate balance between amenities and seclusion. While you can take advantage of the island's daily jet service, gourmet restaurants, award-winning golf course, marinas and world-class diving, you're never more than minutes from complete seclusion and privacy. Provo is a peaceful paradise nestled among a group of secluded islands that act as a natural playground for those who want to explore its untouched beauty. An unspoiled barrier reef protects the Islands and presents remarkable diving opportunities. Divers and snorkellers alike exhilarate in its vibrant colors and tranquil beauty.

Provo is a delight for sports enthusiasts providing a multitude of water activities including snorkeling, SCUBA diving, deep-sea fishing, boating, sea-doo rentals, parasailing and water skiing. For those who prefer to stay on land, Provo offers superb lighted tennis courts and a challenging 18-hole championship golf course with an attractive Clubhouse for members and non-members alike.
