Take Turks

One of the many Turks and Caicos Islands, Providenciales’ (Provo to the
locals) turquoise waters and white beaches make it the perfect place for
some sun, swim, rest and relaxation.

sleep
Take
island chic to a new level at the uber-modern Gansevoort
Turks and Caicos, the sister hotel to New Yorks Meatpacking District
location. We loved the outdoor yoga area (catch a class early before the
heat sets in) and that each of the 91 rooms (from $350) has a view of
the pristine Grace Bay beach. But beware: its a daily toss-up between
the sand and the hotels stunning 7,000-square-foot pool. Grace Bay
Beach, Providenciales, 888-844-5986, www.gansevoortturksandcaicos.com

sip
Drinking out of a coconut is fun, but when a
refreshing brew calls, try the islands own Turks Head beer. This lager
is light in appearance but heavy on taste. Turks Head Brewery, Discovery
Dr., Providenciales, 649-941-3637.
