Just a three-hour flight from NYC, Turks and Caicos is a desirable beach escape brimming with luxury hotels, incredible restaurants, and plenty of ocean access. One of the best ways to visit this Caribbean getaway is by staying in your own personal villa—ideal for getting a bit more privacy with your island vacation (and secluded beach or pool access). From the quaint town of Cockburn on Grand Turk to the outer islands of North Caicos, Middle Caicos, South Caicos, and Salt Cay—each with its own charm—there’s no wrong place to visit in this archipelago. And while there are plenty of hotels and resorts to choose from, Turks and Caicos is also ripe with jaw-dropping villas, from waterfront estates with open floor plans to intimate, one-bedroom spaces with sunset views. Best of all, no matter which part of the island you choose, the ocean will be the star of the show.
I’ve visited nearly every Caribbean island multiple times and still could not contain myself the first time I saw the island’s gleaming ocean. I’ve returned nearly every year since, always ready for a dip in the water, a sip of rum punch, and a bite of peppery conch salad from a beachside restaurant. To make your trip truly memorable, read on for 11 spectacular villas to book in Turks and Caicos.
