Grace Bay Club
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands
Grace Bay
Vibe
Red-tile roofs and swaying palms frame eleven oceanfront acres, balancing quiet adults-only lounges with sun-drenched family terraces along the shoreline.
“Beachfront villa cove”
Eleven oceanfront acres featuring three distinct swimming pools, tennis courts, a catamaran charter, and supervised kids expeditions.
Dedicated personal concierges assist round the clock via mobile phone, pre-stocking kitchenettes and curating island excursions.
The ninety-foot black-granite Infiniti Bar extends toward the water alongside the open-air Lounge and Rum Shack.
On Grace Bay beach within Princess Alexandra National Park, the oceanfront grounds fronting calm turquoise waters.
“It’s an all-suite property, and each suite is suitably luxurious, confidently decorated in a rather eclectic style.”
Rooms
Every sunlit suite faces the ocean, featuring private verandas, travertine-tile floors, and spacious living areas styled by Thom Filicia.
“Grace Bay Club was the first luxury all-suite resort in Turks and Caicos.”
Wellness
Anani Spa offers open-air massages in a beachfront tent, alongside a steam room, tennis courts, and three distinct outdoor pools.
“Despite catering to different crowds, they do have a few common features, including spectacular oceanfront views and personal concierge service.”
Backstory
Debuting in 1993, the property was the very first luxury all-suite resort built along the pristine sands of Grace Bay.
“From its original 21 rooms, the upscale property has grown to 82 suites, each of which features ocean views, a private veranda or patio, and chic interiors…”
Eat & drink
Infiniti Restaurant serves fresh seafood and tasting menus beneath torchlit thatch, stepping directly down to beachside rum bars and oceanfront lounges.
The neighborhood
Set inside Princess Alexandra National Park, the resort fronts a protected stretch of reef-sheltered water where motorized watercraft are restricted.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
