The Turks and Caicos Club's gated property provides a private and exclusive atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the island. The 21 deluxe suites overlook pristine turquoise water and sugary white beach along a secluded stretch of Grace Bay.

The Turks and Caicos Club provides a full array of modern conveniences in each air-conditioned suite, including a fully equipped gourmet kitchen accented by stainless steel appliances and natural maple cabinetry. The rooms offer a private-villa feel with secluded balconies and patios. The spacious interiors provide the conveniences of home from a washer and dryer to Internet access, a stereo and VCR/DVD. Of course the twice daily maid service reminds you that you're definitely not at home.

The bedrooms feel dramatically romantic with wisps of mosquito netting draped from the four-poster beds. The custom-made furniture throughout reiterates the quality that you'll sense went into creating this property.

In between relaxing by the freshwater pool and snorkeling on the island's most beautiful reef, guests can take pleasure in the complimentary HobieCat, windsurfer, kayak, bicycles and exercise equipment.

After a long day of play and relaxation, guests can dine at Simba, The Turks and Caicos Club's Caribbean restaurant.
