Peaceful String of Islands

For East Coast members, there are direct flights from major New England and Southern cities. The world's third-largest coral reef system fringes the archipelago, offering prime snorkeling and diving opportunities off the main island of Providenciales. The destination is also home to one of the Caribbean's most revered beaches, 12-mile Grace Bay, a stunning strand of pristine white sand and calm, crystalline waters that offers some of the best sunbathing spots in the Caribbean.
