Stunning Resorts, Unique Experiences All Over the Globe

We’ve compiled a short list of stunning resorts—from Australia to Italy—your clients will want to include in their 2024 travels.

Reach for the Sky

Head to the Caribbean, specifically Turks & Caicos, and you’ll find the venerable Grace Bay Resorts. What started out as the 21-suite Grace Bay Club is today a 136-unit property. Spanning beyond the resort that started it all, you’ll find the 28 cottage-style Point Grace suites; the 46-oceanfront, Mediterranean-inspired, villa-style Rock House, which opened in May 2022 on Providenciales and is now in the second phase of development to add another 10, spa-inspired units; and the Private Villa Collection with 11 oceanfront luxury villas spread throughout Providenciales and with expected growth ahead.

The newest development and sure to be the talk of the town next year is Grace Bay Resorts’ South Bank. Slated to begin opening some 30 one- to six-bedroom villas in phases in May 2024, the complex will rise over Long Bay Beach at Providenciales to offer a unique resort and marina setting. The concept features four neighborhoods home to unique villa styles, including Arc, with Sky Villas; The Ocean Estate with views across the Caicos Bank; The Launch, home to the Boathouses and featuring a private boat dock; and The Lagoon, with direct access to the Lagoon Beach.

Clients looking to savor Amalfi Coast-inspired cuisine will want to head to Vita, one of the over 10 dining venues at Grace Bay Resorts. The restaurant, tucked into the cliffside at Rock House and perched 30 ft. above the sea, offers panoramic views and a menu where you’ll find such delights as slow-cooked octopus and vitello tonnato to lemon spaghetti with Caribbean lobster. For casual dining, there’s Just Tacos, a beachfront toes-in-the-sand pop-up bar and restaurant serving Caribbean-inspired tacos, even for dessert.

Spa Time

Turks & Caicos is also where one finds The Shore Club and The Palms, home to, a little birdie told us, two divine spas. On Grace Bay Beach, there’s a 25,000-sq.-ft. slice of spa paradise awaiting at the 172-key The Palms. Here you’ll find bespoke treatments such as a 90-minute Mother of Pearl Scrub featuring hand-crushed local queen conch shells, sea salts and mother-of-pearl body milk. On the island’s Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club’s Dune Spa awaits with three oceanfront treatment bungalows that offer views of the horizon and the sound of the wave hitting against the shore. To complement the setting, recommend clients opt for either the Long Bay Spa Ritual or the Sea Salt Caramel Body Glow treatment. Both resorts also up the fitness quotient, with yoga, Pilates and personal trainers.

Looking ahead, we’ve been told that The Shore Club, which opened in 2017, is looking to expand with an announcement with more details coming in early 2024.
