Turks and Caicos Villa Resorts - The Insider’s Guide

Are you trying to decide between staying in a private villa or a resort hotel? Typically, Caribbean resorts have numerous luxury amenities, such as large pools, wellness spas, gourmet restaurants, children's activities, daycare, and fitness centers. Most often they are located directly on the beach as well.

Staying in a luxury villa, on the other hand, offers more privacy and space than a hotel room, so you and your guests can spread out in comfort. They are an excellent option for those traveling with a large family or group of friends.

Having trouble choosing between the two? There is a third option: the resort villa. 

When you stay in one of these properties, you'll get the best of both worlds, the plethora of amenities of a resort and the privacy and luxury of your own villa.
