Hotels in Turks and Caicos
In the relatively short time the islands have been a go-to Caribbean destination, the Turks and Caicos have amassed an enviable lineup of luxury properties. Many lie along the beautiful 12-mile stretch of Grace Bay, in Providenciales, and most can be quite pricey, especially in high season. But rates plummet in the off-season—look for special packages on each property’s website.

Pelican Beach Hotel
Some say the island of North Caicos feels like the Providenciales of old, before the boom hit.
