Club Med Turkoise

Set along Grace Bay on Providenciales, north-east of the island's main town, Club Med Turkoise faces a stretch of pale sand that runs to the horizon. Bungalows in bright colours sit among hibiscus, giving the grounds a low, garden-like feel rather than a tower-block one. The sea here is the shallow, clear kind the Turks and Caicos Islands are known for, calm enough for beginners and children alike. It is a compact, all-inclusive stay: meals, bar, water sports and sport lessons are folded into one rate, along with kids' clubs from age four. Non-motorised water sports run daily, and some resorts in the group add motorised options depending on season. Adults can retreat to a Zen pool area set apart from family zones, while children move between age-grouped clubs staffed by trained group leaders. Evenings bring a beach bar, a gala dinner on rotation, and live music after dark; you can eat at a buffet or book one of the specialty restaurants for something plated. The beach itself is the main event. Fine and pale, it stretches wide at low tide, giving room for volleyball, kayaking or simply walking its length before breakfast. Rooms open onto balconies or garden views rather than direct beachfront in every case. Check-in and transfers are arranged through the resort's own booking service ahead of arrival.
