Plan a Dream Honeymoon in Turks & Caicos

Getting married is one of the most exciting seasons of life, but planning a wedding can also be stressful and challenging. That’s why your honeymoon should be a time to truly unwind and enjoy uninterrupted time with the person you love. Turks and Caicos is one of our favorite honeymoon destinations because of its tranquility, beauty, and wide array of options for lodgings and activities. It’s also a relatively easy tropical destination to fly into and out of. If you’re planning for a honeymoon in Turks and Caicos, here are some of our top recommendations.

─ Where to Stay – Resorts ─

Amanyara

Unique and tranquil, Amanyara is easily one of the top luxury resorts in the area. It’s eco-friendly and perfect for the couple who plans to stay at the resort full-time instead of adventuring around the islands.




COMO Parrot Cay

Located on the private island of Parrot Cay, it doesn’t get much more intimate than COMO. Villas and houses have their own pools, while suites and rooms offer priceless ocean views.




Wymara Resort & Villas

This 5-star resort is set on the picturesque Grace Bay beach, but it’s also close to town for couples who want to explore. If not, take advantage of Wymara’s luxury spa and trademark dining options.




Grace Bay

The Grace Bay Resort is a true icon in Turks and Caicos. The oldest resort on the islands, Grace Bay began as an exclusive boutique hotel and has now expanded into three resorts to become the lively and luxurious fixture we know today.




Seven Stars

Seven Stars is for the couple who wants a bit of everything. It’s pure luxury and relaxation with white-glove service, amazing wellness offerings and exquisite dining options, but there are also plenty of opportunities for fun and exploration.




─ Where to Stay – Villas ─

Sentosa

For the couple who never wants the wedding festivities to end, there’s no better choice than the Sentosa villa. With eight bedrooms, we’d recommend booking a smaller stay for a couple of nights as newlyweds, and then moving over to Sentosa with family and friends to keep the party going. Enjoy an in-house gym, luxury infinity pool, and 1.4 acres of your very own beachfront paradise.




Beach Kandi

This sleek, modern villa offers two bedrooms and a pool that steps right out onto the beach. Huge windows in every room make it feel like you never miss a moment in the sun. Like every villa on our list, Beach Kandi also includes a 24-hour concierge service (think: chef, housekeeper, and butler) so you’ll want for absolutely nothing.




Sugar Kube

Sugar Kube is a true tropical oasis for two. This one-bedroom villa is the right balance of cozy, modern, and luxurious. Enjoy a cocktail on the upstairs patio lounge and read a book on a daybed by the perfectly sized pool. You’ll be in your own little world.




Beach Shack

Don’t let the name fool you—this is no shack. Having undergone recent renovations, the Beach Shack’s interior is fresh and bohemian with wood-paneled ceilings and stone walls. Enjoy privacy in what feels like a private cove and relax knowing you don’t have to lift a finger.




Beach Cake

The Beach Cake is an architectural wonder. This 3-bedroom “upside down house” features the pool and main living spaces on the second floor. It’s also walking distance to some fun dinner spots for the couple who loves to explore. During the day or to stargaze at night, enjoy a sun deck on the very top floor, an amazing outdoor bath and shower, and a view of the ocean no matter where you choose to lounge.




─ Bars & Restaurants ─

Coco Bistro

Located within walking distance from many resorts in the Grace Bay area, Coco Bistro strikes the perfect balance between local fare and luxury cuisine. Enjoy tuna tartare, West Indian shrimp curry, and a full list of wine from around the world.

Coyaba

Coyaba makes sure that any given night on your honeymoon is a special event. Offering fine dining in Turks and Caicos for over twenty years, this spot is a fixture for seasonal menus and ever changing nightly specials.




Ifiniti at Grace Bay Club

As the premier oceanfront restaurant and raw bar in Providenciales, you can’t get fresher or finer fare than Infiniti at Grace Bay Club. The ambience is romantic and tropical, and we recommend stopping at Infiniti bar (the longest bar in the Caribbean!) for a drink before dinner.




Sui Ren at Shore Club

There’s nothing like sushi by the ocean. Using the freshest ingredients possible, Sui Ren takes a unique approach to sushi, bringing Peruvian and Japanese influence to the table. Located inside the Shore Club, your meal at Sui Ren will have a beautiful backdrop.




Provence

If you’re in the mood for something different, Provence is your spot. With a mix of French and Italian inspiration, this is a fine dining experience you can enjoy at the chef’s table, in the dining room, or outside on the patio.




Bay Bistro

Located inside the beautiful Sibonné Beach Hotel, Bay Bistro is a nice yet low-key spot to enjoy a meal by the water. Stop in for brunch, lunch, dinner or a drink!




Mudjin

Located on Middle Caicos, Mudjin Harbor is known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Turks and Caicos. Naturally, Mudjin Bar & Grill offers the best view of the blue water and white sand. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth it for a cocktail in paradise.




Da Conch Shack

If you’re visiting Turks and Caicos, this laid back restaurant is a must-visit spot for conch prepared in all kinds of ways. Plus, the rum bar gets busy later at night if you’re in the mood to dance!




─ Activities ─

Yacht Charter

The best way to see Turks and Caicos is by yacht. Many islands make up this stunning destination, and you deserve to see as many of them as possible! We recommend chartering a private or small-group yacht outing for beach hopping from island to island. Some yacht charters also offer off-shore fishing, snorkeling and diving, and even meals and wine on the water.

Horseback Riding

Long Bay Beach is the best place for horseback riding if you’re looking for a less-developed stretch of beach. Take it slow and allow yourself to be led to the islands’ most beautiful sights from the back of a horse—no previous riding experience necessary!

Enjoy Nature

Visit Salt Cay for a good chance at seeing whales, and even hearing their songs! You’ll also spot wild donkeys on Salt Cay. Taking a trip to North Caicos is a good way to see dolphins, and we also highly recommend snorkeling off any island.

Golf, Tennis & Watersports

Turks and Caicos is the right destination for the couple who loves to stay active. There are beautiful golf courses open to guests, including the award-winning Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club on Grace Bay. There are also tennis courts with lessons available so you can learn something new together. We also recommend kitesurfing, waterskiing, and even simply swimming in crystal clear waters.

Hands-on Exploration

Take a pair of jet skis for a spin, go kayaking on calm waters, or see Turks and Caicos from a parasail! You could also consider renting a Jeep or 4×4 to see areas of the islands that are closed off to most. No matter your mode of transportation, there’s so much to see in Turks and Caicos!
