The Somerset on Grace Bay

The Somerset on Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos

There are beaches—and then there is Grace Bay, a sanctuary of luminous sands and crystalline seas that feels too perfect to be real. Tucked along this treasured stretch of Providenciales lies The Somerset on Grace Bay—a timeless, five-star retreat that exudes quiet elegance and Caribbean ease.

Here, the rhythm of the island moves slower, the air feels lighter, and luxury is felt not only in the silken linens or ocean-facing villas—but in the way time softens, stretches, and finally disappears.

While the resort's architecture evokes European grandeur—arched balconies, mosaic-tiled pools, and sweeping colonnades—its soul is distinctly island-born. The Somerset on Grace Bay is deeply rooted in its setting: an archipelago of more than 40 low-lying coral islands where the sea reigns supreme and nature writes the rules.

Providenciales, the cultural heart of Turks & Caicos, is both cosmopolitan and unspoiled. You’ll find fine art galleries tucked beside local conch shacks, beach bars that pulse with the rhythm of rake and scrape music, and artisans selling woven straw baskets and hand-dyed sarongs in quiet roadside stands. The people are warm, their smiles unguarded, their stories as rich as the ocean that sustains them.

The Spirit of the Islands

This is a place shaped by water. From the stillness of mangrove channels to the brilliant shallows of Chalk Sound, nature invites exploration in every direction. Turks & Caicos remains one of the Caribbean’s most pristine luxury destinations—not yet overtaken by crowds, where stretches of beach remain blissfully empty, and coral reefs continue to flourish.

Local cuisine is bold and briny—cracked conch, grilled snapper, spiced peas and rice, and sweet guava duff. Music drifts from open-air kitchens and beach bonfires. Island life here is unhurried, grounded in community, and tied to the rhythms of sea and sky.

The Somerset on Grace Bay offers just 53 spacious residences—each one a private sanctuary of marble floors, vaulted ceilings, full kitchens, and expansive terraces. Whether you're staying in a one-bedroom garden villa or a five-bedroom oceanfront penthouse, the interiors feel thoughtfully residential, layered in soft neutrals and framed by palms and sea.

Wake to the hush of waves, enjoy espresso on your terrace, and slip barefoot down to the beach—where staff will already have your sunbed prepared and the sea, warm and impossibly blue, waits like a mirror to the sky.

Island Indulgence: Spa Tropique & Seaside Wellness

Wellness at The Somerset on Grace Bay is gentle, natural, and designed to mirror the island’s calming presence. Spa Tropique invites guests into a serene world of coconut scrubs, ocean-stone massages, and marine-rich facials—all using island-grown ingredients. Treatments can be arranged in-suite, beachside, or within the spa's tranquil interior.

Beyond the spa, complimentary yoga and Pilates sessions unfold on the resort’s croquet lawn, while a quiet steam room and dual pools allow for moments of reset between adventures.

Flavors of the Island: Dining With a Sense of Place

Dining at The Somerset on Grace Bay reflects the island’s coastal palette and cultural depth:

• Barbetta House, the resort’s signature restaurant, marries European sophistication with Caribbean vibrancy. Dine on grilled lobster tail with tamarind butter, octopus with chimichurri, or paella brimming with the day’s freshest catch—all in a candlelit, open-air setting.

• The Pool Bar offers light fare and bespoke cocktails—ideal for sun-drenched afternoons, while Barbetta on the Beach transforms dinner into a festive toes-in-the-sand affair with bonfires, rum cocktails, and island DJ sets under the stars.

For those craving local flavor, Grace Bay is home to hidden culinary gems:

• Coco Van, an upscale airstream under a canopy of palms, is a Turks & Caicos institution—known for its legendary truffle fries and local fish tacos.

• Bay Bistro offers Caribbean-meets-gourmet fare with a front-row seat to the sea.

• Turks’ Kebab is where you’ll find locals lining up for shawarma and grilled halloumi after dark—simple, satisfying, and full of heart.

To truly understand the magic of Turks & Caicos, you must take to the water. A half-day private sailing excursion with Caicos Island Charters whisks guests away to a world of secret sandbars, conch-covered coves, and uninhabited cays only reachable by boat.

Board your catamaran from Grace Bay and sail into a dreamscape of turquoise layers. Snorkel with parrotfish over coral gardens, sip chilled rum punch under the sun, and wander onto a sandbar that disappears with the tide. It’s raw, romantic, and restorative—the kind of island experience that stays with you long after your return home.

At The Somerset on Grace Bay, luxury is expressed with elegant subtlety and genuine warmth. It’s in the personalized service, the spontaneous champagne toast by the pool, and the heartfelt “welcome back” every time you return from your adventures. It’s the freedom to be barefoot at breakfast and impeccably dressed for fine dining by nightfall. It’s the effortless assurance that every detail has been thoughtfully curated—allowing you simply to be.
