Wymara Villa | 4 BD + Den

With the serene assurance of a modern icon, Wymara Villa leans over Turtle Tail’s turquoise shallows.

Every line is drawn to celebrate the Caicos Bank’s luminous sweep, while the glass opens to the sky and the stone dissolves into the sea. Located in the center of Turtle Tail on the south shore of Providenciales, this opulent oceanfront address packs 8,354 square feet of living space—4,962 square feet under roof—into a house that flows as smoothly as the water below. The villa is designed for long days and radiant evenings, with features like a private dock at the bay’s edge and twin swimming pools that catch the first and last colors of the day.

The rhythm starts on the main terrace by the ocean. Elegant loungers invite a leisurely drift between pages and naps; an infinity pool stretches toward the reef flats until water meets water; and sliding glass walls give way to a horizon-wide panorama. With cocktails in hand, toes warmed by the fire, and the Caicos Bank turning rose-gold and then ink-blue, the sunken lounge with fire pit becomes the villa’s softly lit heartbeat at dusk. As you enter the open-plan great room, the view is maintained throughout every discussion.

A smart flat-screen discreetly blends into the background for match days and movie nights, while the dining table seats ten people under sculptured lighting, allowing dinner to be leisurely and unhurried. The salon is anchored by sleek, mid-century-inspired furnishings. With top-notch appliances, a sizable island that can accommodate four people, and a bar area that can easily serve late-night drinks as well as sunrise cappuccinos, the fully furnished kitchen maintains the same sleek appearance. When you want the island to do the work, the sea breeze can come through while air conditioning and ceiling fans adjust the interior to your exact comfort level.

When the trade winds increase, a second pool pulls the house inward and serves as an anchor for the courtyard. This protected space blends in perfectly with the kitchen and great room, providing a cool, private contrast to the terrace that faces the ocean. Long lunches here lead into board games and peaceful afternoons, where the light and salt are still present despite the shade and wind.

Wymara Villa’s sleeping areas are intended for ritual and relaxation. Nine guests can be accommodated in four ensuite suites, each with a unique personality and a continuous connection to the air and the view. With a private balcony overlooking the ocean, the main king suite dominates the arrangement. Its spa-like bathroom features a soaking tub and a walk-in shower for leisurely evenings.

The remaining two bedrooms share a large balcony for coffee in the morning or stargazing after dinner, and a second king suite opens directly to the oceanfront pool terrace, making a morning swim measured in steps rather than minutes. You feel the difference, not just see it, thanks to thoughtful details like softly layered linens, spacious wardrobes for extended stays, and ceiling fans for whisper-quiet nights.

The Caicos Bank is right outside your door thanks to the villa’s private dock. Boat pickups for snorkeling, sandbar picnics, or bonefishing charters take place without the logistics interfering with the fun; paddleboards and kayaks glide into glass-clear water that changes from pale silver to electric blue with the sun. You can enjoy the best of Grace Bay whenever you want because Wymara Villa is a part of the renowned Wymara Resort & Villas collection.

This includes signing privileges at the resort’s restaurants and bar, a spa menu that transforms a routine afternoon into a rejuvenating experience, and a free shared shuttle that transports you to the hotel for reserved beach chairs on that renowned white sand. At Turtle Tail, the atmosphere reverts to seclusion and quiet—the warm, shallow water of the south shore, the gentle rippling of the tide against limestone, and the sensation that time has expanded slightly for you alone.

The practicalities are right where you need them. Because Providenciales International Airport is so close, arrivals go smoothly from the runway to the terrace. To keep the kitchen and bar ready for last-minute get-togethers, the best grocery and wine stores on the island are within easy driving distance, and the Turks and Caicos Islands Tennis Club is less than four kilometers away if your serve needs practice. By the end of the day, Wymara Villa feels more like a way of life than a place you’re staying at, with the fire pit glowing and the pool reflecting a scattering of stars.

Activities in the area include: gliding the Turtle Tail shallows by kayak or paddleboard at sunrise when the Caicos Bank is glass-calm; chartering a boat to the sandbars at Half Moon Bay for shelling and a barefoot picnic; and snorkeling the coral gardens of Princess Alexandra National Park and drifting with turtles and rays.
