Spend a weekend playing jet-setter this winter
Providenciales
Revered as one of the last unspoiled frontiers of the Caribbean, Turks and Caicos are tailor-made for long-weekend beach getaways thanks to their proximity to the U.S. The main island, Providenciales (known as Provo), is home to Grace Bay – one of the best beaches in the Caribbean and protected by a natural 499-mile long barrier reef that affords it clear turquoise waters for miles. Provo is an oasis for those seeking to do little more than lounge on the white sand beaches or explore the waters, as there are few diversions other than surf, sun, and sand.
How: Fly nonstop to the Providenciales airport from Atlanta (Delta; about 3 hours), Boston (American; about 3.5 hours), Miami (American; 1.5 hours), New York (American; about 3.5 hours), and Philadelphia (US Air; 3.5 hours).
