The Palms Turks and Caicos

Grace Bay Beach, Princess Dr, TKCA 1ZZ, Turks & Caicos Islands

Sitting steps from the sand, the 72-suite Palms, with its large rooms, larger infinity pool, and dedicated kid’s club, is one of the more family-friendly among Grace Bay’s luxury resorts. Yet it is still sophisticated enough to please gourmet diners and dedicated spa-goers. The open-display kitchen of the Parallel23 restaurant, with its wood-burning oven, makes meals enough of a visual performance that guests from other resorts come to experience it. The 25,000 square foot stand-alone spa, is arguably the best in Provo. The serpentine-shaped pool wanders past wooden decks and sun pods, white parasols, an in-pool hot tub, and Plunge Bar and Restaurant, where in-water banquettes make it possible to dine without even getting out of the pool. All accommodations are in one- to three-bedroom suites in five stone-clad buildings, two of them on the oceanfront; all have private balconies.

Check out the Regent Spa at the Regent Palms Resort in Grace Bay. The Angel Stewart (of Golden Door, Las Ventanas al Paraiso, and Ritz-Carlton fame) spa features signature treatments like “Mother of Pearl Body Exfoliation” that uses a hand-crushed local queen conch shell blend to smooth away dead skin, or the “Zareeba,” a cleansing and detox ritual that includes inhaling aromatic steam from a local herbal and getting a detox massage.
