The Villas

The villas are positioned side by side on the beach on the Northwest coast of the island. They are on the opposite side of the busy cruise center. You have a choice of booking them together, which is the perfect choice for large groups and families, or you can book them separately. Each villa has their own pool, a large jacuzzi, and are equipped with everything you need to relax and have a magnificent vacation. Soak in the pool or in the jacuzzi, laze on the deck while taking in the crystal turquoise ocean panorama that Grand Turk is so famous for. The cool ocean trade winds and sounds of waves lapping only 50 feet from the property will take all cares away while you relax with a tropical drink and watch the most amazing sunsets you will ever see.

Swimming Pool 

Yes, they are both private pools on the beach, just for you and your family. Easy entry and surrounded by a spacious deck with comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas. Feel free to bring your own inflatable pool toys. 

Your safety is your responsibility, so the usual pool safety (common sense) precautions apply:

• No glass in or around the pool (plastic cups are provided)

• No diving 

• Children must be supervised at all times

• Please rinse your feet before entering the pool and jacuzzi

• Bring all pool toys out of the pool when you done, the wind will take them away· DO NOT remove the pool robot from the pool. If you would like to have it moved, please contact us and we will arrange it.  If the robot is moved out of the pool while the motor still on, it will damage the motor.

 

Sand

A saltwater foot faucet is provided for your convenience outside by the entrance of the pool. Please rinse your feet of all sand each time you enter the Villa or go in the pool.  Sand in the shower and kitchen drains can result in clogging of the pipes. 

​

Wireless Internet

We offer free Wi-Fi throughout the villa.  You can easily stream movies and TV shows from your Netflix or Apple TV account with your smart phone. Make sure you have VPN installed for Apple TV. 

​

Beach Chairs & Cabanas

We provide lounge beach chairs, side tables, a large beach cabana and towels. Please bring all towels in when you are finished using them on the beach. 

 

Barbecue Grill

The villas are equipped with a gas grill for your convenience.

 

Polarized Sunglasses

Around 9 a.m. the sun is rising on the east side of the island and before long it begins to illuminate the amazing tapestry of colors in the sea right in front of the villa. These turquoise waters of Grand Turk are the just about the most breath-taking ocean images you will ever see. You don’t want to miss that, so bring your best pair of polarized sunglasses and it will make a huge difference on your trip.

 

Pantry

Feel free to use anything in the pantry (condiments, cooking oil, etc), it’s there for your convenience. It’s ok to leave groceries in the fridge or supplies in the pantry when you leave the villa. We collect these items and give them to families in need on the island.

 

Freshwater Outdoor Shower

Sometimes a quick rinse after the beach is all you need before you enter the pool.

 

Beach

A walk on the beach early in the morning can be rewarded by spotting an Eagle Ray or a few Stingrays. They cruise along and feed in the shallows when the tide is high. Also, keep your eyes open for colorful Trunkfish. A stroll along the beach will not result in seeing crowds of people, in fact probably not anyone at all, except maybe a few of the friendly wild donkeys and horses that roam the island. Bring some water shoes for wading around at low tide.

 

Snorkeling

Bring your mask snorkel and fins (we also have some available) because there are some nice patches of reef close to the Villa and plenty of tropical fish to be seen. Several snorkelers have also encountered the harmless and graceful Spotted Eagle Rays right in front of the villa. 

 

Scuba Diving & Diving

Grand Turk is one of the top scuba diving locations in the world and the most beautiful turquoise water you can imagine surrounds the island. Diving here is an unforgettable adventure and suitable for any diver from novice to expert. The dive sites are generally calm, hardly any current, crystal clear and warm, the turquoise blue turns a deep dark blue just a few hundred yards from shore where the wall drops off. Most of the dive sites are on the west side of the island and only a few minutes from the beach by dive boat. A typical dive starts in just 30 feet of water and the reef gently slopes until it reaches about 40 feet then the diver is greeted by the vista of a spectacular wall plunging to the depths. Local dive operators will lead groups or individuals and every diver can cruise the wall at the depth they feel comfortable before a leisurely return to the boat over shallow reefs covered with life. Visibility averages 100 feet or more and the water temperature ranges from 82°-84° in the summer to 74°-78° in the winter. “McDonalds” dive site located about 800 meters out right in front of Villa Azul was awarded the best wall dive in the Caribbean by Scuba Dive Magazine three years ago. After the dive, Villa Azul offers the convenience of a dive gear rinse tank and equipment hangers next to the outdoor shower.

Please lock all doors and windows, each time you leave and at night while you sleep.  The island is safe but don’t make it easy for petty thieves.
