Diving:
The Turks & Caicos have become known as a special location for Scuba
Diving. The geographical formation of the islands, rising 7000 feet from the
ocean floor, creates a reef "Wall". The most well know portions of the island's
platforms are the Caicos Bank and the Turks Bank.
The vertical drop begins less than a quarter of a mile from the harbours at
Leeward. The main reef crests at just 30-35 feet, giving a spectacular display
as the open ocean crashes into the Wall.
TCI boasts healthy and protected coral reefs, spectacular drop-offs, great
visibility and warm water. Its location allows for a rich diversity of sea
life, from Whales, dolphin or mantas to the broad spectrum of native Caribbean
fish species. There are also speciality Nitrox diving facilities available on
island.
Sailing & Watersport:
The Grace Bay provides a watersport focal point for Providenciales. The resorts
on the beach offer sailboat rentals, Windsurfers and Para-sailing for those all
interested. There are also Catamaran charters and Day-Skipper charters
available.

Sun & Sand:
Beyond the privacy of the Villa's swimming Pool, the island destinations for
magical White Sand beaches is the 12-mile long Grace Bay beach. The Beach runs
from Turtle Cove Harbour to Leeward. The Grace Bay beach is available for
public use along its entire length.
We would also recommend a charter to take a group to one of the uninhabited
islands just minutes north of Providenciales. Picnic lunches and alternative
water-borne incursions can be arranged. There is good hiking available on the
Middle Caicos island.

Sport Fishing:
All manner fishing is available just offshore from the islands. Bottom and Reef
Fishing are best for half-day tours and offer a wide variety
of catch. These can often be combined with a deserted beach drop-off for
other passengers. For the keener Sportsperson, the BoneFish available in the
many shallow flats of the islands is unbeatable. A true test of a fly
fisherman! There are also numerous deep-sea fishing charters operating from
Turtle Cove or Leeward Marinas.

Night Life:
After a day in the sun, you might be tempted by the numerous beach front
bars and restaurants along Grace Bay. There are also several evening hot spots
- if you are so inclined. Prices are similar to restaurants in a major city.
There are no "formal" restaurants on the island as most are outdoors and the
temperature does not encourage the wearing of long sleeved shirts or
trousers. There are some very good chefs on island as a result of the holiday
condominium rental community.
