Picture it: you’re gazing out over a vast expanse of turquoise waters as the warm sun bathes sea and sand in its gentle light. You stretch your right arm forward, left arm behind, as the instructor subtly adjusts your shoulders to help you enjoy the maximum benefit from the pose. You’ve tried yoga before, but you never knew how amazing it could be when practiced in a tropical paradise. At Beach Enclave’s North Shore yoga pavilion, this fantasy becomes reality every day at 8 A.M. during the vinyasa yoga class led by the expert instructors from Retreat Yoga & Wellness Studio. Laura and Lindsay Mensen, founders of Retreat Studio, studied abroad for several years with the world’s most elite teachers before returning to Turks & Caicos to bring their healing services to visitors and residents alike. In fact, the program at our North Shore location has been so successful, we’re planning to take it to the next level. When our newest resort, Beach Enclave Long Bay, opens November 1, it will offer daily afternoon yoga classes focused on sculpting and led, of course, by the professionals from Retreat Yoga & Wellness. Best of all, as a guest of Beach Enclave, you can attend these yoga classes at both North Shore and Long Bay free of charge. Develop core strength, flexibility, and mindfulness at one of the group classes, or let us arrange a private session for you at your seaside villa. We’ll even provide an array of healthy, fresh, and delicious snacks for you to enjoy, including smoothies, fruit juices, hummus, granola, quinoa banana bars, and much more.

At Beach Enclave we believe that an ideal holiday has to offer the best in both relaxation and adventure. That’s why we’re so thrilled to announce our new partnership with KiteProvo, the acclaimed kiteboarding school that’s served the Turks and Caicos community since 2006. As part of this exciting new partnership, Beach Enclave is constructing an eco-adventures facility at our Long Bay location. Though the facility will be open to the public, as a guest of Beach Enclave, you’ll receive special discounts and other perks to help you enjoy the full range of activities, which will include not just kiteboarding, but also kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Worried that you’re not experienced or athletic enough? Lay those worries to rest, because KiteProvo’s IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) and PASA (Professional Air Sports Association) certified instructors are eager to bring the fun of aquatic sports to all guests, from total beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. Plus, with its shallow waters, smooth sea floor, and pristine wind conditions, Long Bay Beach is the perfect spot to learn.

At Beach Enclave, we strive to stay on the cutting-edge of hospitality. Toward that end, we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Saje Natural Wellness, renowned specialists in the restorative power of essential oils and skin treatments. A state-of-the-art ultrasonic diffuser will be installed in all Beach Enclave master bedrooms, offering guests four natural diffuser blends—Tranquility, Unwind, Liquid Sunshine, and Energy—each of which provides a unique blend of essential oils calibrated to help you achieve the ultimate state of sleep, relaxation, or liveliness. In addition, Saje experts have trained our in-villa butlers so they can explain the all-natural ingredients and extensive benefits of each diffuser blend, ensuring that you will be able to select the purification setting ideally suited to your desired physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state. When Saje founders Jean-Pierre and Kate Leblanc visited Beach Enclave recently, they immediately recognized the kinship between the Saje and Beach Enclave ethos. “Our philosophy,” says Kate, “is that you can do your body, mind, and spirit a world of good by connecting with the healing power of nature. Our time at Beach Enclave was so rejuvenating … you are surrounded by plants, water, sun, and fresh air, all of which fill you with such a profound feeling of health and wellness.” Together with Saje, we look forward to continuing to bring you the best luxury villa living the Caribbean has to offer.

If you’re looking for delicious food, sweet beats, and thrilling dance moves served up with an authentic island flair, Bight’s Park is the place to be every Thursday from 5:30 to 9:30, where the Island Fish Fry brings together locals and visitors from across Turks and Caicos to celebrate “all things TCI.” Patrons dig into plates piled high with zesty conch salads, lobster mac-n-cheese, and freshly grilled corn. Live music is provided by different artists each week, including island favorites like the V6 Rake n Scrape Band, Lee & the Force, and Keno & Kazz Alroy & Daz. Local artisans display and sell their handcrafted wares, youth groups perform traditional island dances, and kids of all ages enjoy storytelling and maypole twirling. Food vendors include Bugaloo’s Conch Crawl, Cactus Bar & Grill, Doreen’s Place, Froggie’s on da Beach, Middle Caicos Café, Miss Moonies, Three Queens, and many more. Finally, after your evening of fun-filled revelry is through, you’ll be thrilled to return to the supreme comfort of your luxurious seaside villa.

At Beach Enclave, the one thing we know best (aside from hospitality, of course) is boating, which is why we adore the sleek, state-of-the-art design of the vessels crafted by the venerable Hinckley Company of New England. Among the great makers of personal sea vessels, Henry Hinckley stood out. A trained aeronautical engineer, he designed his boats to navigate the treacherous waters of Maine’s rocky Acadian Coast. For nine decades now, the Hinckley Company, always on the cutting-edge of innovation, has been producing world-class sailboats, motorboats, and yachts with unparalleled maneuverability, safety, and aesthetic appeal. The Hinckleys of today are designed by naval architect Michael Peters, whose unique hull-crafting process allows the Company to guarantee their boats for life. If you’ve never set sail in one of these vessels, you must treat yourself to a day out on a Hinckley, the most luxurious ride on the sea.

Named for the towering tropical fruit tree that shades its front lawn, Guinep House, also known as the Turks & Caicos National Museum, is located in historic Cockburn Town, TCI’s capital city. The whitewashed colonial building itself was constructed almost two centuries ago using materials salvaged from various shipwrecks. Inside, you’ll find exhibits detailing many fascinating maritime disasters, including the Molasses Reef Wreck of 1505, the first recorded European shipwreck anywhere in North or South America. In addition, you can explore the history of pre-colonial native peoples, delve into the details of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, learn about TCI’s role in the Space Race, and much more. Exhibits on the variegated flora and fauna of the islands abound, and just outside Guinep House, the museum’s own garden offers a tranquil setting for visitors to reflect on the rich natural and cultural history of Turks and Caicos Islands.

Have yourself a beautiful white sand Christmas this year in Turks and Caicos Islands, where you can experience all the abounding holiday cheer without any of the dreaded holiday chill. The day after Christmas, Boxing Day, is a particular favorite here in Providenciales, where locals and visitors from across the islands come together for “Maskanoo,” a communal celebration held every year in the Regent Grand shopping area and Saltmills Plaza in Grace Bay. The name of the event, Maskanoo, is a portmanteau of “masquerade” and “Junkanoo,” a Bahaman street festival that’s now migrated to other parts of the Caribbean. You’ll enjoy live, local bands, an elaborate street parade, delicious TCI cuisine from area vendors, arts and crafts sales, and all the quirky and delightful specialty shops that make the neighborhood such a vibrant attraction. So mark your calendars for December 26, and give yourself the the gift of authentic Turks & Caicos community this holiday season.
