Palms Turks and Caicos
Colonial-Caribbean grand resort with modern luxury polish. More architectural statement than intimate boutique, more full-service than barefoot-chic. Families, honeymooners, and spa obsessives all coexist happily here.
Book spa treatments at least two weeks before arrival — the most popular treatment times fill fast.
Why It Matters
One of the flagship Grace Bay resorts since 2005, owned and operated by the Hartling Group. The 25,000 sq ft spa — designed with a canal flanked by 8 standalone coral-stone treatment rooms — has been named Best Spa in the Caribbean by the World Travel Awards. The $18M renovation added the Si Si oceanfront Mexican restaurant and a redesigned serpentine pool deck with swim-up bar.
The Palms is a 72-suite luxury resort that opened in 2005 on Grace Bay Beach, set across 12 lush acres and wrapped in Palladian-inspired colonial architecture. Think cool Barbadian coral stone, Greek columns, vaulted ceilings, and mahogany furnishings — then a fresh $18 million renovation layering in a redesigned infinity pool deck and a new oceanfront Mexican restaurant. The spa alone is a destination: 25,000 square feet of reflecting pools, coral-stone treatment huts, and World Travel Award–winning therapists.
