Enjoy the water
First things first! When you’re flying over TCI on arrival, the first thing you’ll notice is the stunning color of the ocean surrounding the islands. This blue hue is due to the shallow coastal waters and powder white sands that reflect the sunlight. Besides it being jaw-dropping in its beauty, it also does for a lot of fun under the sun. Grace Bay Beach, Long Bay Beach, Taylor Bay (just to name a few) are some of Provo’s most sought after destinations -and it’s not hard to see why. You and your loved ones can relax and enjoy this magical landscape with walks on the beach, basking in the sun or just breathing the gentle Caribbean trade winds. These world-renowned beaches are enough to make Providenciales the ideal tropical destination. However, there’s more (much more!)

Take the family for a bit of a hike (as it is atop a hill with spectacular views to Chalk Sound) and you’ll find a treasure in the form a history rich, archeological tale.
