Located 30 miles southeast of the Bahamas, ninety minutes by air from Miami, Florida, the Caribbean destination of Turks and Caicos is everything a tropical paradise should be. In the island chain the World Tourism Organization named the best-performing global destination for 2023, beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery stretch across more than 40 idyllic islands and cays, drawing visitors from around the word. For jet-setters looking to make Turks and Caicos a regular retreat, accessibility is evolving, thanks to infrastructure upgrades underway that encompass roadway and ferry improvements, and a major expansion of the Howard Hamlin International Airport, formerly Providenciales International Airport.
While getting to Turks and Caicos is becoming a breeze, finding a luxury home that complements the magnificent backdrop has proven to be more elusive. Answering this demand, St. Regis Turks & Caicos, The Residences is set to debut in late 2027, offering an unparalleled residential experience designed to evoke ataraxia—a true tranquility of mind.
Set on the island of Providenciales in the stunning Grace Bay, the opulent enclave will encompass three residential towers and expansive grounds, where every nuance is masterfully crafted in the time-honored traditions of St. Regis. In addition to upholding the brand’s allegiance to bespoke style and impeccable service, the grand vision for The Residences celebrates the singularity of Turks and Caicos, with the region’s topography and backstory informing everything from landscaping to art installations.
Echoing the Astor legacy of helming superlative spaces, accomplished architects and designers are laying the groundwork for a rarefied residence profile that extends far beyond the expected. From the grandiose entrance in each tower’s elevated lounge, to the ubiquitous panoramic ocean and garden views, to plush shared spaces, owners and guests will appreciate the high level of detail that embodies the Astor sensibility.
Within St. Regis, Turks & Caicos, The Residences, refined aesthetics reflect a harmonious interplay of four core elements—gentle breezes, cool sands, striking forms, and endless skies—in tribute to the unique spirit of the Turks and Caicos islands. The one- to four-bedroom homes, each with a distinctive layout, will feature spacious rooms, soaring ceilings, and private terraces and balconies. From finely crafted furniture to elegant fixtures and finishes, the residences draw inspiration from Turks and Caicos’ storied heritage and evergreen environment.
Colors, shapes, and textures are influenced by the crystalline formations of salt crystals found in the islands’ saltwater lagoons and heirloom plants like the Sea Island cotton bolls scattered across the landscape. From vivid pink and peach hues borrowed from the prolific flamingo, to the warm amber tones of Caribbean rum and oxidized shipwrecks, creative coloration mirrors the landscape’s vibrant tableaus. Striking geometric motifs evoke the legacy of the Lucayan and Taino Indians, Turks and Caicos’ original inhabitants, whose seafaring, salt-raking, and farming traditions shaped many aspects of development. Throughout the estate, symbolic renderings of the conch shell, thatch palm, orchid flowers, and Turk’s head cacti echo the wildness and diversity of local flora and fauna. Cylindrical living walls made from papaya and wild ficus trees create microhabitats that add depth and spark a sense of wonder.
Integrated into the master plan for St. Regis, Turks & Caicos, The Residences, a bounty of owner amenities encourage both recreation and repose, including an uncrowded beach, exclusive beach club, swimming pool, and oceanfront wellness and fitness center. From conch shell hunting on the fine white sands to snorkeling and scuba diving in Grace Bay’s underwater playground of vivid coral reefs, the estate houses endless avenues for adventure. Residents will delight in diverse options for eating and imbibing within the community, including two artisanal restaurants showcasing cosmopolitan fare, the St. Regis Signature bar, and in-residence dining and catering. Just beyond the estate, the Grace Bay Beach neighborhood offers epic culinary journeys, luxury boutiques, health and wellness spas, and ecotourism opportunities.
In keeping with the St. Regis ethos of unwavering attentiveness, the brand’s signature St. Regis Butler Service will be readily available to arrange any number of essential and à la carte services—ranging from valet parking, car reservations, and travel planning, to child and pet care, grocery shopping, private chef expertise, and event planning, among many others.
With its spectacularly designed living spaces, world-class amenities, and ultra-responsiveness, St. Regis, Turks & Caicos, The Residences is emerging as one of the most coveted ownership opportunities in the Caribbean. As the seamless fusion of St. Regis’ renowned hospitality and all the comforts of a high-end island accommodation is perfected, future owners can look forward to an incomparable island lifestyle where relaxation is effortless and every moment spent at home is truly extraordinary.
