If you’ve had a tough semester at school or a hard grind at work, and you’re looking for total and complete relaxation, we get it. Since you’re planning to get away for the spring break, why not go on a trip you will remember for the rest of your life?

The Sands at Grace Bay in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands provides a family friendly paradise with every kind of beach holiday adventure you’ve ever dreamt; every kind of water activity, fabulous eating, astonishing adventure tours, or simply loafing on the beautiful white sands while you bake in the sun. Take it from those who have gone before you. Let them show you how it’s supposed to be done!

Interested in simply chillaxing? The Sands at Grace Bay was built just for you!

Take a relaxing float down the Lazy River just like Wanderlustry knows how.

Have a smorgastic meal at Hemingway just like KCorbett1970 – just moments from your door as you walk to the beach.

Or, try zoning out on the white sands and enjoy some “family time” like glowfitnesstci

For the physically active, nothing beats swimming in the warm, azure blue ocean. It’s a dreamy, relaxing experience. Need we say more?

Kayaking is an awesome way to get to really know the true beauty of the Turks & Caicos. You can take guided or self-guided excursions.

Are you up for something really physically challenging? Kiteboarding requires real core strength, so if you’re interested, start slow. You’re going to have to practice plenty to get as good as these pros.

If that’s a little too sporty for you, don’t worry because adventures abound! Do you enjoy hiking? We suggest you take some time to hike the beautiful North Shore or check out the historical Crossing Place Trail – a path that was at one time an integral connected between communities in the North and Middle Caicos, and today offers beautiful views of Norbellis Coves coastline.

Just be sure to wear shoes with soles, and don’t touch the Coral Sumac, also known as Poisonwood, which grows along many trails. These plants cause rashes and blisters, so best to avoid them.

If snorkeling, snuba or scuba diving is your thing, you have the option of setting out directly from the beach to places like the Coral Gardens just down the beach, or the harder to find Smith’s Reef near Turtle Cove (which doesn’t cost anything).

However, if you really want to experience what the best coral reefs of Turks & Caicos, consider taking a snorkeling or scuba cruise to one of the many beautiful offshore reefs. A cruise will bring you to clearer water, more impressive corral formations and an abundant variety of sea creatures. For experienced divers, a cruise will bring you to the astonishing diversity of life down a one-thousand-foot sea wall that you will never tire of exploring.

Are you convinced yet? Then hop onto your computer, or pick up the phone right now to make a reservation with The Sands at Grace Bay, book your flight and start a real spring break holiday you will remember for a lifetime!

Heck, if you get down here right now, you can even take a glow worm tour – something you can only do a night or two after the full moon.

We’ll see you soon.

Turks Caicos Information

Stunning Aerial Photos of Turks and Caicos Found on Instagram

Starting on December 19, 2015 United Airlines will offer non-stop flights from Chicago to Providenciales (ORD-PLS) for the winter and spring travel season. JetBlue also announced direct flights to Providenciales from Fort Lauderdale starting on November 19 (here is the most current list of airlines serving Turks and Caicos).

To celebrate the arrival of our friends from Chicago and other places around the world, we have collected some great Instagram aerial photos of the Turks and Caicos.

We have also discovered some photos that capture what a vacation is like around the island of Providenciales.

The view from the plane will capture your heart

The most noticable feature of the Turks and Caicos (besides our powdery white beaches) are the stunning turquoise waters of the sea.

The island of Providenciales is home to what must be the most beautiful airport in the whole world

This is the magnificent view on the approach to Providenciales (PLS) airport:

An endless number of hidden cays and islets to explore

The Turks and Caicos is made up of more than 40 islands. Many of these small cays are perfect for exploring by kayak or by guided cruise.

There’s nothing like the first glimpse of Providenciales

If you have never flown into PLS before, the view from the airplane window is amazing. It’s almost like the Turks and Caicos are floating in the sky.

Make sure you book a window seat

You’ll have a front row view of one of the most amazing and special places on earth.

This photo looking southwest shows the Turtle Cove Marina and Smith’s Reef.

The unearthly turquoise waters of Providenciales have to be seen to be believed.


The sublime beauty is not limited to the island of Providenciales. Virtually every island of the archipelago possesses its own unique beauty, and an invitation to come out and explore and experience for yourself.

Often it’s difficult to tell the sea and the sky apart

The blue waters of Grace Bay blend into the sky…


…and sometimes even the sea is more brilliant than the sky.

Be warned before you come here…

Going home will break your heart.

However, the view from the airplane window allows you to enjoy a little bit more of our tropical paradise on your way home.
