This August, the Blue Sky Luxury Travels team is heading to the Turks and Caicos Islands! We can’t wait to share the best villas and resorts we experience during our stay. Our first stop will be an exclusive private island resort and then we will make our way to the main island of Providenciales, to stay right on Grace Bay Beach at the beautiful 8-bedroom villa featured here. Designed around a palm- and pond-filled courtyard, offering ocean views from every bedroom, this property is the epitome of understated glamour. The prime beachfront position, an abundance of space indoors and out, and the perfect balance of privacy and connection, makes the villa ideal for sophisticated group getaways. Set a few feet above the white sands of Grace Bay, the expansive pool terrace remains out of sight of beachgoers, while steps provide easy access to the ocean. The extra-large perimeter overflow pool – with a tanning ledge, hot tub and space to swim laps – is the centre of the action during the day, with indulgent day beds, covered seating areas and a cabana providing a welcome retreat from the tropical sun. Meanwhile, the outdoor living area, firepit, floodlit pickleball and half-basketball

This August, the Blue Sky Luxury Travels team is heading to the Turks and Caicos Islands! We can’t wait to share the best villas and resorts we experience during our stay. To kick off the discovery, we’ll be spending our first week at Ambergris Cay—an exclusive private island resort located 600 miles south of Miami and featured in this spotlight. Originally established as a community for private homeowners, Ambergris Cay opened as a private island resort in 2019. Now, travelers seeking a secluded luxury escape can enjoy access to over 1,100-acres of mostly untouched land. With bungalows and villas for rent on an all-inclusive basis, the result is a luxury boutique hotel feel in a vast and diverse setting. Activities: Active travelers will welcome the opportunity to embark on numerous adventures amidst the island’s vast terrain. Navigate the winding roads, hiking trails, and coastlines by golf cart, foot or bicycle. Master a new skill with complimentary access to onshore fishing, Hobie cats, and kayaks. Get up close and personal with marine life while snorkeling. Then venture out further on a sunset cruise, deep sea fishing excursion or a private boat tour to Little Ambergris Cay. Dining: A la carte menu

After hours of showings, we chose the 3 best villas to add to the catalogue. Today, we are spotlighting one of those three villas, which also happens to be one of the best properties we have ever seen at Blue Sky Luxury Travels. There is no online marketing of this villa, but since we just toured this incredible property on our recent trip to Cape Town, we were given special permission to share the private 300-acre estate with our closed clients via email.
