With so many islands to choose from in the Caribbean, it can be hard to narrow it down. Each has its flavor, attractions, and culture making them all unique and well worth exploring. If you’ve decided Turks & Caicos is the winner and this will be your first trip to the islands, you will want to be sure you make the most of the holiday. Here are some essential tips that will help you to do just that.
Choose the Best Time to Visit
To ensure the holiday is just as you imagined you’ll want to visit at the “right” time of year. Because Turks & Caicos always has great weather, you can look at other determining factors. February to April tends to be busy with families and those getting away for a spring break. Meanwhile, May to June is a little quieter and of course hotter, which is ideal for couples who want relaxation and peace. If you want to avoid the busiest time, that would be December.
Upgrade to Luxury Accommodations
Rather than the standard resort or hotel, why not upgrade to more luxurious accommodations? This will make the trip even more memorable and typically these types of accommodations offer even better and more varied amenities. Villas are a very popular type of luxury accommodation in Turks & Caicos, giving you the extra room to spread out and settle in. It’s perfect if you are booking a longer stay and want it to feel like a home away from home. You can find your dream villa with Rental Escapes.
Villas are perfect if you plan on traveling with two or more people, so that could mean another couple, a family, or a couple of families.
Make a List of Must-See Attractions and Activities
If you are the active type that likes to experience as much as possible in a destination, then a priority list will probably be wise. You can write down all the things you want to see and do, and then prioritize them. This will ensure the most anticipated activities will be worked into your schedule. If you run out of time and there is still tons you want to do and see, that just means you’ll have to return.
Some of the more notable attractions and activities in Turks & Caicos include:
- Grace Bay Beach
- Chalk Sound
- Grand Turk Lighthouse
- Snorkeling at Smith’s Reef
- Long Bay Beach
- Conch Bar Caves
- Kitesurfing
- Provo Golf Club
Eat at Local Restaurants
Finally, you want to be sure you treat yourself to some incredible meals and that means getting off the resort property or out of your villa and eating at local restaurants. Turks and Caicos are known for such things as Johnny cake, boiled fish and grits, crab and rice, Conch fritters, Conch ceviche, Lionfish, snapper, and plenty more.
A Trip You Won’t Forget
Taking the time to plan your trip to Turks & Caicos means you’ll be sure to have a trip you won’t forget and that packs in all kinds of highlights.
