Learn more Kim Peiffer, Forbes Staff Forbes Vetted With its stunning turquoise waters and white sand beaches, the islands of Turks & Caicos are about as postcard-perfect as beach destinations come—and the best resorts in Turks & Caicos offer thoughtful amenities and exceptional service to help you enjoy it all. I’ve personally visited the islands over a dozen times and appreciate the destination’s many opportunities to unwind, as well as its excellent accommodations. If you’re planning a trip, I’ve narrowed down the best resorts in Turks & Caicos based on multiple visits and stays. For a great cocktail scene, less crowds and an overall intimate feel, I recommend Rock House, while couples are sure to enjoy a romantic getaway at The Shore Club Turks & Caicos. For a private beach with oversized oceanfront villas, Amanyara is worth the splurge, and The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos is a luxe gem on Grace Bay Beach that’s not to be missed. Below, the best resorts in Turks & Caicos in 2025. Best Hotel In Turks & Caicos Overall: Rock House Best High-End Hotel In Turks & Caicos: Amanyara Best Boutique Hotel In Turks & Caicos: The Strand Turks & Caicos Best Hotel On Grace Bay In Turks & Caicos: The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos Best Private Island Hotel In Turks & Caicos: Pine Cay Best Hotel For Couples In Turks & Caicos: The Shore Club Turks & Caicos Best Hotel In Turks & Caicos Overall: Rock House Guest room at Rock House. Rock House Grace Bay Who Will Love It: Jet-setters; privacy-seekers; modern mavens All-Star Amenities: Oversized suites with private infinity pools; complimentary see-through paddle boards; champagne and chocolate chip cookies at check in What Not To Miss: A sunset drink at the Cave Bar; lemon spaghetti with Caribbean lobster at Vita Rock House is a modern, boutique twist on the many traditional properties that currently dot the famed Grace Bay Beach. The fact that it’s off the main drag from most of the hotel chains gives this unique property its feeling of privacy, making it a great choice for travelers who want more relaxation and less crowds. 46 luxurious accommodations (ranging from pool side studios to spacious two bedroom suites) offer sweeping views of the ocean, plus suites come equipped with their own private plunge pools, but no matter where you are on the property you’ll feel like you have it all to yourself. If you should ever want to venture outside the walls of your hotel room haven, a gorgeous pool perched above the ocean awaits, offering a low key space to take a dip and finally read that novel that’s been collecting dust on your nightstand. Fare here doesn’t disappoint either—upscale eatery Vita offers traditional Italian dishes sprinkled with Caribbean influence, such as lemon spaghetti with lobster, an indulgent yet fresh and aromatic delight. Poolside service is divine—don’t miss the Highway To Hell cocktail, a Caribbean twist on the traditional margarita.
