Providenciales
Despite its growing popularity over the past several years, the Turks & Caicos remain relatively unspoiled. The main island, Providenciales (known as “Provo”), is home to Grace Bay—one of the best beaches in the world—and is surrounded by a natural barrier reef that affords it clear turquoise waters for miles.
SPLURGE As the World Travel Award’s pick for the Caribbean’s Leading Boutique Hotel for the third time, the Point Grace is clearly doing something right. Its perfect beach location helps, as does the stellar restaurant, a Thalassotherapy spa, palatial suites, and sumptuous service that includes a daily cocktail hour by the pool. From $475/night after April 1; pointgrace.com
VALUE The smallest hotel on Grace Bay, the Sibonne Beach Hotel boasts a beachfront address, a quaint atmosphere, and comfortable rooms—truly a knockout deal for its location. Paying a bit more for an upstairs room is worth it. From $110/night after April 15; sibonne.com
GETTING THERE Direct flights from Atlanta (3 hours); Boston (3.5 hours); Miami (1.5 hours); New York (3.5 hours); Philadelphia (3.5 hours)
