Turks and Caicos

Situated on the stunning 12-mile curve of white powder sand known as Grace Bay Beach, The Sands at Grace Bay has reopened following a $6 million face lift that includes a gracious new open-air lobby accented with polished mahogany, sweeping paddle fans and comfortably overstuffed chairs. Elegantly redesigned suites feature spacious marble baths, stainless-steel kitchen appliances and granite countertops.
