After more than a decade of travel blogging across the globe, I can confidently say that some places don’t just impress they transform you. My recent stay in Turks and Caicos was one of those rare experiences. From the moment I arrived to the final sunset, it was nothing short of paradise and I have AwayBNB to thank for that.
As always, AwayBNB curated every detail of this trip with perfection: from securing the best price on the market to offering insider suggestions that turned a beautiful villa into a truly unforgettable escape. This blog is a thank-you note to them and a guide for any of you planning your next luxurious island retreat.

📍 Welcome to Paradise

The villa is located in Leeward Settlement on the tranquil southeast coast of Providenciales, right on the white sands of Long Bay Beach. The area is private, peaceful, and exclusive ideal for those who want serenity with just a short drive (8 minutes!) to the vibrant shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Grace Bay.

The moment we pulled up to the gated entrance, we were greeted by Tom, our property manager, who offered the warmest welcome and gave us a full tour of the home and surrounding area. His local recommendations (and hilarious stories) set the tone for the entire stay.

The 6-bedroom Beach Enclave Long Bay Beachfront Villa comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. The architecture and layout are flawlessly designed for relaxation and togetherness ideal for families or friend groups looking for both space and connection.

  • Main Villa: 5 spacious en-suite bedrooms with stunning ocean views.

  • Guest Cottage: A detached one-bedroom suite with its own living area, kitchenette, and garden views perfect for a little added privacy (my friend Lena called it her “personal sanctuary”).

I stayed in the Grand Master Suite a dreamy oasis with a walk-in wardrobe, freestanding soaking tub, and a private balcony where I enjoyed my morning coffee with nothing but ocean and sky ahead of me.

🌊 Indoor-Outdoor Bliss

This villa blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living in the most seamless way.

  • A heated infinity pool that melts into the ocean view.

  • A private beach deck with loungers, umbrellas, and a bar area where we gathered for sunset cocktails daily (thanks to Maria, our lovely housekeeper, who moonlights as an excellent mixologist).

  • A serene garden courtyard my go-to reading spot in the mornings.

  • An outdoor dining area where we enjoyed freshly grilled dinners, lovingly prepared by James, our private chef for the week (booked through AwayBNB, of course).

In the evenings, we gathered around the fire pit, stargazing and sharing stories. It felt like a family reunion with friends I’ve traveled with for years

🧘‍♀️ Wellness, Adventure & Extras

Beach Enclave offers a five-star hospitality experience. Every day started with a delicious continental breakfast and ended with turndown service that made the villa feel more like a boutique hotel than a vacation rental.

Some highlights:

  • Morning yoga on the beach with our instructor Camille, whose calming energy set the tone for the day.

  • Complimentary use of kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment.

  • A complimentary kiteboarding lesson for three of us (Ben was a natural, while I opted to document the experience from my lounger 😄).

  • Daily housekeeping, pool and beach setup, and even one-way airport transfer included in the stay.

  • Access to a 24/7 gym and basketball half-court on the property.

If you want to add even more luxury, in-villa spa treatments and a private chef are just a call away (and yes, totally worth it).

🗺️ Nearby Attractions & Activities

While the villa itself is hard to leave, we did explore the island thanks to some amazing recommendations from Tom and the AwayBNB team.

  • Grace Bay (8 minutes away): Boutique shopping, dining, and nightlife.

  • Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club (also 8 minutes): A must for golf lovers.

  • Kayak eco-tours: Peaceful, guided exploration of the mangroves.

  • Local eateries: Don’t miss the conch salad at Da Conch Shack or the beachfront tacos at Somewhere Cafe.
