Nutmeg Cottage

Villa Nutmeg Cottage (villa code: TNC NUT) is an exotic 1-bedroom beach cottage in Grace Bay Beach, Providenciales. It’ll be love at first sight when you arrive at this rustic and charming cottage, the perfect spot for a romantic Caribbean getaway. Private, secluded, and elegant, the well-appointed Nutmeg Cottage has everything you might need for a stay in Turks and Caicos. With an airy and spacious interior and luscious tropical garden outside, you’ll be swept away by this charming beach cottage. The villa is only a short walk from Grace Bay beach, and comfortable waterfront restaurants and shops at Turtle Cove marina are just a short walk away. It doesn’t get much better than this.    

As you step inside the alluring Nutmeg Cottage, you’re greeted with the contemporary open-plan living space. You’ll immediately notice the vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and the gorgeous hand-cut stonewall. The creamy white interior contrasts with clever coral-blue details, while beautiful shells and other underwater treasures make you feel as if you’re at the beach already. French doors open towards the private pool and salty Caribbean air, and the plush sofa and TV make this a nice place to relax.   

A small breakfast bar with 2 chairs separates the gourmet, well-equipped kitchen from the living room. Sleek and modern, cooking here is made easy. Our concierge can even organize a grocery delivery, and for special occasions, a private chef. The breakfast bar at Villa Nutmeg Cottage is perfect for everything from morning pancakes to an afternoon aperitif.     

The spacious master bedroom is located just off the living room, boasting a lavish king-sized bed. French doors cut into the stone feature wall lead straight outside to the pool terrace, while the ensuite bathroom has classic granite countertops with a his-and-hers vanity. Sinking into the soft, feathery bed is pure heaven, a cozy hideaway perfect for resting up after long days languishing on the beach. Another flat screen is hidden away in the room’s dresser, letting you relax with your favorite movie or some late-night TV.   

Outside, chairs and loungers surround the private pool, all of it shielded by an array of lush, tropical trees. A hammock strung up underneath a thatched palapa offers the perfect spot for reading in the shade. For sunset cocktails, the 2-story gazebo with ocean views is the ideal choice. As you stray outside Nutmeg Beach Cottage, the gentle hum of Grace Bay Beach calls; seven miles of sweeping white sand, crystal-clear water, and a coral reef just offshore. Lounging on the sand and snorkeling the reef are the order of the day here; it’s some of the best in the entire Caribbean.  A strip of slippery rock separates the sand from the water. Water shoes are recommended to safely clamber over them as you’re heading to the reef. The highly desirable Turtle Cove area is also a short walk away. Here you’ll find a clutch of glamorous waterfront restaurants perfect for a romantic date night, while the marina offers a chance for sunset cruises, stand-up paddleboarding, and more.   

The thoughtful details and design of Villa Nutmeg Cottage mean you’ll want for nothing on your vacation. There’s fast Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer in a separate laundry room, outdoor BBQ, Cable TV, and a high-quality stereo system. The villa also has air conditioning for those warmer days in the Caribbean. Although with near-constant trade winds, you’ll seldom need to use it. Villa Nutmeg Cottage is all about romantic island-mystique. Spending your days lazing by the pool and snorkeling on Smith’s Reef will have you falling in love all over again, but with the Caribbean instead
