Beaches Turks & Caicos

Rooms and suites

Rooms and suites are spread across the five villages, from standard rooms to multi-bedroom family suites and butler-service options. Each room has a stocked bar. Exact categories change by village, so it is worth comparing the village layouts before you book.

• Rooms and suites in the Caribbean, French, Italian and Key West villages
• Treasure Beach Village suites, the newest part of the resort
• Multi-bedroom family suites for larger groups
• Butler-service suites in select categories

Restaurants and bars

Beaches lists more than 20 dining options including food trucks, with cuisines that include seafood, Italian, Mediterranean, American, Caribbean, Indian, pizza and Japanese. There are 14 bars, including a swim-up bar. Named venues include:

• Mario’s: classic Italian
• Schooner’s Seafood Grill: seafood
• Arizona’s: Southwestern cuisine
• Kimono’s: Japanese, reservations required
• Bobby Dee’s: retro diner near Pirates Island, popular with kids
• Butch’s Island Chophouse: steakhouse in Treasure Beach Village

Most restaurants are open to all guests, and a few specialty spots work best with a reservation, so it is worth checking the dining schedule on your first day. Because each village has its own pools and dining, many families pick a home base village and use the others for variety.

Beach, pools and spa

The resort sits on the calm, shallow water of Grace Bay at the Bight, which is good for young swimmers and snorkelers. There are 10 pools, four whirlpools and a dedicated scuba training pool, plus a swim-up bar.

The Red Lane Spa offers massages and other treatments. Spa services are an optional extra and are not part of the all-inclusive rate.

Activities and entertainment

Pirates Island Waterpark covers about 45,000 square feet and, according to the resort, runs daily from 7 AM to 9 PM. Kids Camp is run by certified nannies, and Caribbean Adventures with Sesame Street brings character activities for younger children. Teens have their own space, Club Liquid.

Adults and older kids can use Hobie Cats, paddleboards and kayaks, go snorkeling, and certified divers can scuba dive as part of the package. On land there is tennis, pickleball, a fitness center and day and night entertainment with live shows. Beaches also promotes the Caribbean’s first certified Autism Centers for families who need extra support.

Beyond the resort, Providenciales is easy to explore. Grace Bay Road is lined with restaurants, cafes and shops, and you can snorkel straight from the sand at Bight Reef (Coral Gardens) and Smith’s Reef. Boat trips run to Iguana Island, also called Little Water Cay, to see the protected rock iguanas, and to the sandbars and quiet beaches of the nearby cays. The barrier reef off the north shore keeps the water calm for most of the year, which is why this coast is so good for swimming and paddleboarding.

Who it’s best for

• Best for: families with kids of any age, multi-generation trips, travelers who want a true all-inclusive with water park access and diving included.
• Consider another resort if: you want a quiet, adults-only escape or a small boutique hotel. With hundreds of rooms and lots of children, this is a lively resort.

Getting there from Providenciales International Airport

The resort is about 6 miles from Providenciales International Airport (PLS). The drive takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.

Round-trip airport transfers are included in every Beaches stay, so you do not need to book a separate taxi or shuttle.

Turks and Caicos uses the US dollar, and visitors need a valid passport. Nonstop flights reach Providenciales from several US and Canadian cities. Most visitors get around by taxi, although rental cars are available if you want to explore beyond your resort. Driving is on the left.
