Wymara Resort – Turks and Caicos
Set on the prime stretch of Grace Bay Beach – one of the best beaches in the world – where the sand is at its widest point, Wymara Resort combines style and an attention to detail that only a family-owned and managed independent hotel can achieve.
With mesmerising views over a sea of constantly changing blues, this is sophisticated elegance at its best, and a forerunner in sustainability within the luxury travel sector.
In stark contrast to the colonial-style traditions evident elsewhere in the Caribbean, Wymara is a sleek and stylish hotel, embracing guests with clean lines, spacious rooms, contemporary styling and the warmest of welcomes.
Accommodation in the hotel is by way of studios and suites, thoughtfully curated to provide as a blank canvas that places the focus on the amazing blue sea or lush tropical gardens outside.
Across all interiors, the styling may be minimalistic, but Wymara certainly maxes out on comfort and luxury – from Aēsop bathroom amenities to in-room hydroxyl generators for the highest quality of air and electrically-controlled blackout shades.
Every bedroom includes a plush king-sized bed and 400 thread count Frette bedlinen, with fully equipped luxury bathrooms featuring exhilarating rain showers. Even the smaller studios have a kitchenette while larger suites have fuller kitchens and washer-dryers, meaning that guests can enjoy as much privacy as they wish.
Check in to the Oceanfront Penthouse Suite for the ultimate indulgence. This three-bedroomed suite sleeping up to 7 has spectacular views over Grace Bay Beach and beyond – to be enjoyed from the sweeping balcony, secluded terrace with hot tub or through floor-to-ceiling doors from inside.
The Penthouses come complete with a dedicated guest services manager, who can take care of all the arrangements required to make your stay truly memorable.
A huge 650m2 infinity pool lies at the heart of the resort, with mosaic floor and expansive pool deck including cabanas and more exclusive island pods which come complete with chilled rosé and unlimited water.
Complimentary water sports include Hobie Cat sailing, kayaking, snorkelling and paddle boarding, while wakeboarding, windsurfing, scuba diving, parasailing and private boat charters are all close by.
Other activities include fitness centre with Peloton and Technogym equipment, as well as a full programme of classes ranging from barre to power yoga, delivered in the outdoor pavilion or even on the beach.
Wymara prides itself on the high standards evident throughout – from impeccable service to luxurious accommodation, with a strong focus on wellness and culinary excellence.
Headed by Executive Chef Andrew Mirosch, fine dining restaurant Indigo has quickly established itself as among the best places to dine on the island. In November 2023, a new more casual dining space opened in the form of Blue Water Bistro, strategically located on the edge of the beach. No need to stray too far from Grace Bay Beach’s pristine sands when it comes to lunch, and a menu full of internationally inspired dishes to suit every taste.
Close by is Pink Bar for live music, cocktails and a wide range of wines and spirits making it the perfect setting for rosé all day, pre-dinner sundowners or a nightcap under the cloudless star-filled skies around the fire pit.
Eco-conscious travellers will be reassured by the resort’s complete ban on single use plastics, cleverly designed water system to increase recycling (and keep the grounds and gardens lushly verdant), as well as more evident initiatives in support of local conservation organisation Turks & Caicos Reef Fund.
Wymara Resort is an ideal choice for couples and groups of friends, as well as families that favour quality time together in a superlative setting. Staff are incredibly warm and friendly – many have been at Wymara for years – and the resort’s facilities are second to none.
