Despite feeling like you are in a peaceful oasis when on property, Villa del Mar is literally in the middle of it all in Providenciales, the main island of Turks & Caicos. We are just steps from the world famous Grace Bay beach, which is obviously our main attraction. On the beach you’ll find a private greeter to attend to your every need – beach chairs and loungers, towels, umbrellas and cold drinks.

Several of the island’s best restaurants are less than two minutes away by foot. Within a two minute walk, we recommend fine dining at Anacaona (across the street at Grace Bay Club), and Coyaba (around the corner). Or seaside lunch at Seaside (a daytime beach restaurant at Ocean Club West). Fresh is a great new ‘all natural’ deli for breakfast and lunch, just across from Coyaba. Within another 5-10 minute walk are Coco Bistro (set in a romantic garden under the palm trees), Caicos Cafe (an authentic French Caribbean experience), Mango Reef (a diverse menu at the Royal West Indies), and Opus (a new comer but instant favourite on the TCI dining scene).

Just around the corner from Villa del Mar (2 minute walk) is Casablanca Casino, where you can test lady luck. It’s a full casino with table games and slots, and a friendly staff to help even beginners have a fun – and possibly profitable – time.

Shopping is readily available nearby to Villa del Mar. The Ports of Call shopping area offers a range of gift shops clothing stores and other shops, as well as two restaurants and a fun ‘dive’ bar (Jimmy’s). Try Calico Jacks (upstairs) for live music on the weekends. Further down Grace Bay Road, but still within easy walking distance, is The Regent Village and Salt Mills Plaza, both with diverse shopping options and upscale boutiques for clothes, art, and other items to take home with you. Check out Jai’s for top of the line jewellery and watch brands available at duty free prices. Salt Mills offers a number of dining options including sushi, an Irish Pub and an authentic American style diner.

Golfers will enjoy the challenging track at Provo Golf Course, which is a 10 minute walk up the road from Villa del Mar. Tee times are easily arranged and the fully stocked pro shop offers top of the line rentals, and a full selection of golf gear and clothes.

Water spots operators offering scuba diving, beach combing, sunset cruises, fishing (deep water, reef and bone fishing) will pick you up and return you to Villa Del Mar. Ask at our front desk for details.

We can also arrange for taxi service to restaurants or other services that are a little bit of a longer walk (note that within a 15 minute waking distance form Villa del Mar are the majority of restaurants in the Grace Bay area). Taxis drivers can also take you on island tours to see all of Providenciales. For the more adventurous, we can even help you get to our outer islands, like North Caicos, Middle Caicos or Grand Turk – all of which can be experienced as a day trip from Villa del Mar, so you are back in your luxurious suite for another restful night’s sleep.

Even though I live here on the island, things still tend to get busy with the usual routine of school for the kids, work, and sports.  So we’ve only had the pleasure of a pleasure  ride on Dave’s Atabeyra twice now, and both times had an excellent time. 

Easter Monday, and we pulled up to the Big Blue back yard in Leeward around 1:45 pm with a bunch of friends who decided to rent out the boat for a half day and enjoy some time on the water.  Adults and kids all got on board and got quickly settled in with our bags of goodies, towels, etc and proceeded to leave the dock right on time.  The vessel itself sails gracefully on the water and the mood is easy and relaxing with all of us taking in the turquoise shades of the water and listening to the cool reggae vibes.  Weather was just mint as a cool ocean breeze cooled the hot rays on the back.  Junior (just started about 6 months ago with the Atabeyra) was a nice addition to the trip, was interesting hearing his story about coming up the ranks in the Caicos Marina in Long Bay.

After sipping on some beverages and just chillin, catching up with friends and enjoying the ride, we pulled up to the old and abandoned ship out in the middle of the ocean, at first, I thought we were just getting close to it to check it out, but I then heard a few of the guys and teens jumping out of the boat, swimming to the net type ladder and proceeded to climb up the ship!  Scary, but fun, I couldn’t resist and took the ‘plunge’ out myself and did the same thing.  These crazy kids got all the way to the very top (bow) of this monstrous ship, and jumped off the bow!  Well, I couldn’t let that happen without giving it a go myself, so I did the deed with a ‘weeeeeeeeeee’ all the way down and slammed into the frigthening but irresistable water below.  What a rush!  I was a proud dad when my 7 year old jumped off the Atabeyra and proceeded to swim to the ship as well to do the same thing, so up I went with him and followed him down. 

After spending another half hour or so just swimming around and enjoying the scenery, we got on board again and headed past the point to Little Water Cay (Iguana Island), where a bunch of the little ones got off again and went exploring to see Iguanas.  I decided that it was again another time to catch up on the drinks and chatted away some more while some of my fav Marley tunes came on.  What a life!  Some of the boys ended up playing soccer on the beach and the girls went swimming.

Back to the marina in Leeward by Big Blue, goodbyes to all, and on our way back home. 

All in all, this was probably one of the most memorable Easter Mondays we’ve had as a family.

Thanks to the great company, Captain Dave, Junior, and Turks & Caicos’ Resident favourite, the good ship Atabeyra.
