Renowned for its crystal clear water and powdery white sand beaches, Turks and Caicos is a Caribbean paradise you’ll want to visit again and again. The scenery and wide range of activities promise to delight you every time you go to the Turks and Caicos Islands, and while there are already plenty of high-altitude accommodations, more new properties are popping up across the archipelago. Eight major properties are slated to open over the next two years, including an Andaz hotel, a Kempinski and a Marriott Luxury Collection hotel.

The country has 40 islands and cays, of which only eight are inhabited and perfect for a day of exploring by boat or even hotel hopping from one island to another. For those who want a truly secluded experience, there are also a few private hotels on the island that offer a serene and exclusive beach stay. There’s something for everyone in Turks and Caicos: family-friendly resorts, beach villas perfect for a group getaway, and luxurious ocean-view rooms perfect for a romantic getaway. Best of all, this destination is a quick direct flight from several cities in the US and Canada, and there is also a direct route from London.

As the weather cools, here are 11 sensational properties to visit in Turks and Caicos, from private villas to top hotels.
