Living the good life

Fashion, glitz and glamour, do it in style here in the Turks and Caicos.

You want to relax on your Turks & Caicos vacation and we’ve got plenty of ways to do that. Whether it’s the retail therapy of shopping til you drop, or the physical therapy of a rejuvenating spa treatment, you can get you fix in the TCI.

For shoppers, there are a surprisingly nice selection of high end shops and boutiques. Several fashion shops can be found in the Grace Bay area with everything from Turks & Caicos T Shirts to bring home for a friend you left behind, to designer label outfits. There are great beach ware shops, too, to find that perfect swimsuit.  Stroll from Ports of Call to the Salt Mills Plaza to the Regent Village and sample what we have to offer. Many of the resorts along Grace Bay also have their own boutiques to browse through.

Provo is also home to some unique art boutiques, featuring works from the Turks and Caicos and other Caribbean islands. Local art makes a great gift to bring home. Don’t forget to look for locally made crafts items, too. Baskets, jewelry and art from interesting materials such as metal can all be found in quaint shops. Try the beach market on the beach between Club Med and Ocean Club East.

Fine jewelry and luxury item lovers will appreciate the selection here as well, with well-stocked shops offering brand name watches, rings, necklaces, sunglasses, perfumes and other items. You may be surprised at the prices, too, as many are duty free imported and you’ll find prices competitive, sometimes better than North American stores.

Once you have maxed out your credit card, head to the spa to unwind. There are several relaxing sap facilities scattered throughout Grace Bay, some of which can offer you a massage or facial right on the beach. Services range from half day therapy sessions, to couples treatments, to facials, various massages options, and skin treatments for the entire body. Many spa operators will also come to your room at your resort to offer you a private, customized session.
