Less than a four-hour flight from JFK, Turks & Caicos is an award-winning Caribbean destination with pristine white sand beaches, crystal blue waters with coral reefs, and a selection of new luxury accommodations coming to market, perfect for those looking to escape the frigid Northeast winter.
Travel to Turks has been booming, and this year’s tourism numbers are set to surpass pre-pandemic levels thanks in part to major airlines like Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and Silver Airways adding new direct routes from the U.S. and Europe into Providenciales.
One enclave in particular, Grace Bay, is primed to become a top Caribbean destination thanks to a slew of new developments that offer gorgeous beaches, world-class dining, and access to Bight Reef (a.k.a. Coral Gardens) which is home to turtles, stingrays, parrotfish, butterfly fish, nurse sharks, and countless other species.
Two developments coming to market, Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay and The Strand, are offering unique opportunities for buyers at varying price points.
