The island of Providenciales, locally-known as “Provo”, in Turks and Caicos is a leading travel destination for families this year. From new developments being built across the island to adventurous water sports and immersive local activities, Provo is bustling with excitement as the number of international visitors and flights continues to increase.
For travelers looking for a luxurious family getaway, here are three tips from Beach Enclave, a collection of private beach houses and villas with five-star resort amenities, on how to experience the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility in Turks and Caicos:
Dive in the Water: Long Bay is the place for water sports enthusiasts. A well-known hub for kayaking, it is also perfect for kiteboarding due to its consistent trade winds. While often thought of as an intricate sport, kiteboarding is an activity visitors of all ages can try as the beach at Long Bay offers a beginner-friendly environment with shallow turquoise waters and a private launching area. For travelers looking for a more calming and peaceful activity, free diving in the crystal-clear waters by the famed Grace Bay presents a serene alternative, as it offers the chance to explore the underwater world’s tranquility and the vibrant coral reefs in a meditative state.
Enjoy Immersive Local Activities: From attending the weekly Island Fish Fry to sample fresh crab and lobster to learning about Caribbean cuisine in hands-on cooking classes, families can indulge in the culinary delights of Turks and Caicos during their visit. Additionally, handcraft workshops offer a glimpse into traditional crafts, such as straw making to create baskets, coasters, and hats, and kids can take lessons to learn how to play the steel drum, fostering a connection with the community from a young age.
Relax and Unwind in Luxury: For one-of-a-kind accommodations, Beach Enclave just introduced ten contemporary Beach Houses at their North Shore location. Designed by Jacobson Arquitetura, the new houses boast spacious living areas, direct beach access, and mesmerizing ocean views, offering a unique blend of luxury and natural beauty. Partially cut into the local limestone, each house features three- to four-bedrooms, including a master suite overlooking the ocean, a large indoor kitchen and living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, and an outdoor entertainment area with a sun deck, infinity pool, and summer kitchen for enjoying the warm, sunny days.

Southwest Airlines' settlement terms with the Department of Transportation (DOT) are kicking in — leading to future customers receiving compensation if they experience a significant flight delay. As part of the settlement sparked from the airline’s 2022 holiday meltdown, Southwest has agreed to award $75 or more in transferrable vouchers to travelers who reach their destination at least three hours late due to an airline-caused disruption or cancellation, according to the DOT.
Despite any recent perceptions, the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos are making sure that tourists know it is still a viable and welcoming destination.
Experience Turks and Caicos is thrilled to announce a significant surge in air arrivals from the United Kingdom to the Turks and Caicos Islands, marking a positive turn in our tourism landscape. While the United States remains our primary tourism source, the rise in visitors from the UK during the initial months of this year is truly encouraging. From January to March 2024, we welcomed 3,946 arrivals from the UK and Europe, representing a remarkable 105.4% increase compared to the same period in 2023. This surge can largely be attributed to the launch of Virgin Atlantic’s non-stop flight from Heathrow, London to Providenciales on November 4th, 2023.
Next month, Nick Ozemba and Felicia Hung, the co-founders of the Brooklyn-based design studio In Common With, plan to open Quarters, a shop housed in a 19th-century TriBeCa loft. The 8,000-square-foot space is laid out like a well-appointed home: Guests enter through the library and can wander the great room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, bar and lounge at their leisure. Everything within — furniture, lighting, art and even the pantry provisions — is available for purchase. Ozemba and Hung collaborated with several of their creative friends on the objects and décor that fill the space. They designed the tiling throughout with the New York City-based artist Shane Gabler, while a fresco depicting eels with earrings by the painter Claudio Bonuglia adorns a portion of the bar and lounge, which will open for evening service beginning this summer. The furniture on display is a mix of restored vintage pieces and new designs by Ozemba and Hung, some of which can be customized with imagery drawn up by various tattoo artists. “We’ll be able to sit down with people and play,” Ozemba says of the space’s potential to spur conversation and inspire new projects. “Retail shouldn’t be so serious. Take off your shoes and have a glass of wine.”
When I visited Madeira, Portugal, I found an island paradise brimming with natural wonders and cultural opportunities.
Pulling up to the red boat slip under a fiery sunset, no one in the boat was looking at the vivid pinks of the Caribbean sky. Instead, our eyes were on the towering hilltop ahead of us, with its wind turbines and precarious Balinese-style treehouses. Night was falling, and glowing ambient lights flickered on as if by magic to light up a maze of jungle-nestled villas and dirt paths. A man in well-tailored dress pants, a button-down, and loafers emerged; not the billionaire we’d come for, but one of the many trusted Sir Richard Branson whisperers in a staff of 134 we'd encounter over the next few days. “Welcome to Necker,” Eddie beamed.

Passing over the Atlas Mountains in 1925, the French military photographer Marcelin Flandrin spotted a Barbary lion walking through the sand. Flandrin had flown the route often enough to realize that the sighting was uncommon. He took a picture, which he published as a postcard sold to travelers visiting Casablanca.
