Where
are we? Easy and Quick to Access via Major Airlines.
Just beyond the Bahamas lies an archipelago of islands known to
a select few adventurers, a handful of savvy travel experts, and
to knowledgeable scuba divers. The locals call it Provo, but you'll
call it Paradise! Just 575 nautical miles southeast of Miami and
39 miles southeast of the Bahamas lies Providenciales (Provo), the
biggest island in the Turks and Caicos. Providenciales is serviced
by major airline jet flights to one
of the Caribbean's longest runways- just 1 hour and 20 minutes from
Miami and less than 3 hours from New York City.
"Why Come to Providenciales?"
Beauty Above, Beauty Below!
Crystal
clear turquoise waters surround the country's eight Islands and
over
forty cays,
sun swept white
beaches and breathtaking coral reefs. Most say, "The best sunsets
they have ever seen". Development on Provo is tasteful and
modern, with consideration to its natural surroundings. There are
no high-rise structures, no crowds, no riffraff, and no solicitations
on the beach "to have your hair braided". And thus, the
island has preserved a coveted, relaxed pace that vacationers and
residents alike have searched the world for and found on Provo.
Unspoiled. Beautiful. Inviting. Provo is the Caribbean as it was
meant to be.
"Why
Come to Providenciales?" For the Adventure of Your Life!
Come
to Provo for the incredible scuba diving, fishing, windsurfing,
sailing, snorkeling,
and other water sports. Providenciales along with its world-class
snorkeling and diving also boasts an 18-hole championship golf course,
ranked in the top 10 best Caribbean golf courses by "Caribbean
Travel & Life" and is also listed in the top 20 hot spots
in the world for bill fishing by "Sport Fishing" magazine.
"Why
Come to Providenciales?" Turquoise Waters & the Best Beaches!
Providenciales
boasts one of the world's top ten beaches at Grace Bay- per
(Conde Nast Travel). You can
lazily stroll along a magnificent span of pure white sandy beach,
which stretches for 12 miles! There is no other place on Earth that
can match the beauty of the turquoise water lapping up against the
beautiful white sands of Grace
Bay. It is truly a "professional photographers" paradise
to see these astonishing colors. The beach is unspoiled, and unlike
many beaches in
the States, you can plant your umbrella and sunbathe in privacy.
There are many stretches of beach where you can claim hundreds of
feet as your own territory for the day; even in front of the most
popular resorts a 40-foot privacy radius is not uncommon. Meet JoJo
the local dolphin (lives in the wild) who lost his family pod years
ago, and subsequently has adopted grace bay vacationers (especially
Club Med) as his pseudo family. JoJo checks in and frolics with
swimmers and snorkelers in Grace Bay many times per week.
"Why Come to Providenciales?"
The Best Weather in all the Caribbean!
Provo and its sister islands making up the Turks and Caicos archipelago
is in its own micro Sunbelt. To the south Dominican Republic boasts
immense tropical air and humidity; and to the north the true Bahamas
can also be dripping wet with humidity- Turks and Caicos is an anomaly
to its surroundings. A very arid environment with the indigenous
plant being the "Turks Head Cactus. This is a testimonial to
its average humidity of only 40%, average daily temperatures in
the mid-80's, constant light trade winds to diminish the heat, and
many consecutive days of sunshine (without rain) each month. Yes,
there may be a shower lasting only one-half hour sometimes, but
seldom does it rain for the whole day straight. It is often asked,
"Does Turks and Caicos have a rainy season"? The answer
to this is that there is no predictability or rainy season, when
it rains for two straight days (could be in April, could be in September)
this is the rainy season. Again, while there are no guarantees in
nature, the probability that you will get rained out of a whole
day on your vacation is minimal. Achieving a suntan is guaranteed.
World
Class Accommodations! Modern, Clean, Unlike some other Islands.
Although the island is unspoiled and pristine, as more and more
have discovered Provo and subsequently returned, real estate development
has been inevitable. Learning from the mistakes of others Islands
and other over developed vacation icons of yesterday, the government
and locals have adopted strict zoning and development requirements.
So while Provo is exploding with new beachfront resorts- they are
being built without spoiling the islands beauty- no high rise structures,
maximum spacing between properties, minimum set backs from the beach,
and abundant landscaping. In lieu of these resorts starting to dot
the beachfront, the beach at Grace Bay is and always will be pristine
because of the government's foresight. . Most accommodations having
been built in the last 10 years are very modern and filled with
all the amenities you would expect from an equivalent hotel in the
States. Your preference dictates what caliber accommodations you
wish to stay at, as Provo provides a complete spectrum of choices:
all inclusive, bed and breakfasts, inns, hotels, resorts, five star
hotels, and villas. See Our Hotel
and Diving Combination Packages.
50
Top Notch Restaurants Within a 3-Mile Radius!
Where there are world-class resorts, there will be restaurants.
People repeatedly ask on the boat each day, "Where is the best
place to eat"? The perennial response is, "all the restaurants
are excellent, what type of restaurant do you like". There
are restaurants to fulfill every theme, every nationality, and every
budget except no fast food chains as of yet.
