Setting the scene, Beaches Turks & Caicos sits along the beautiful 12-mile, white-sand Grace Bay Beach; considered one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world.
About Beaches Turks and Caicos

When choosing the perfect resort, it can be challenging to find entertainment and activities for the entire family. Well not at Beaches Turks & Caicos! They have everything you can think of. They have a lazy river, xbox lounge, kids camp, teens club, water sports, land sports, & a waterpark! These are just a few family activities included in your vacation cost.

And if you want some adult time while the kids are at camp, head over to Club Liquid for some dancing and premium drinks, or Cricketers Pub to play pool and enjoy great snacks and beer. You can also set up a romantic candlelight dinner at an additional cost.

With SO many inclusions, I can assure you that Beaches Turks and Caicos is the crown jewel all-inclusive resort of the Caribbean.

First, make a list of what’s important. If your list looks anything like mine it would include:

  • Out of the ordinary, but still easy to get to.
  • Plenty of entertainment options, but also places to unplug and relax.
  • A place where the whole family can be together and have fun.
  • Safe environment
  • Great restaurant choices everyone can agree on.
  • White sand beaches and turquoise waters.

We have visited Beaches Turk and Caicos several times and try to visit every couple years and it is always a wonderful experience.

Choosing Beaches Turks and Caicos is easy, but deciding on which village and room type can be a bit challenging. Let’s start by looking at the difference in the 4 villages below

Beaches Turks and Caicos Village Map

  1. Caribbean Village
  2. Seaside Village
  3. Italian Village
  4. French Village
  5. Key West Village
1. Caribbean Village

The Caribbean village is close to the beach, and offers the most affordable room options that can accommodate up to 5 guests, large pool with swim up bar, lots of outdoor dining options and closest village to the Jerk Shack.

Another perk of the Caribbean Village is the closeness to Camp Sesame if you are interested in child care services during your stay.

Camp Sesame Kids Club – Located near the Caribbean Village
Infant program: 0 -2 years old
Camp Sesame:  3 – 10 years old
Tween program: 11 – 13 years old
Camp Sesame is open from 8am – 9pm
Additional after-hours available for $25 per hour (check with resort for updated after-hours pricing).

2. Seaside Village

The Seaside village is the best option if you prefer more room for your family with upgraded room amenities and modern room decor, while still near the Caribbean village pool, Italian village pool, beach areas, and restaurants for convenient access. Personally, the Seaside village and Italian Village are my favorite areas to stay. These accommodations are perfect for family size of 3-6 guests that prefer a more luxurious room experience and convenient location with the resort.

3. Italian Village

The Italian Village is one of my favorite areas to hang out during the day. The Italian Village pool area is the most fun during the day for families. Rooms offer Concierge and Butler level only. The Italian village is perfect for growing families with small children up to teenagers that would like to do the ‘Italian room with family kids room’ with either the Concierge or Butler level service. It is perfect for families that want slightly more space than the Caribbean or French village standard rooms with the option to add personalized service. It is conveniently located near the main large pool with swim up bar, and close proximity to the beach area and many restaurants.

4. French Village

The French Village is one of the more quiet areas of the resort, large pool, multiple bedrooms for larger families, and convenient to the water park. The pool area is quiet and relaxed, and only a few steps away from the waterpark. I recommend the French Village area if you prefer the less expensive room accommodations at Beaches. In addition, it would be a great option for families with children between the ages of infant – 10 years old, as it is close to the Waterpark and also close to Camp Sesame Kids Camp.

5. Key West Village

The Key West Village offers your Caribbean home away from home style accommodations. Upscale accommodations and the newest village at Beaches Turks and Caicos. This is a quieter area of the resort and features multiple bedroom style villas and a couple of secluded small pools. The Key West village is perfect for large families of 5+ guests seeking a private accommodation/villa in a relaxed environment offering Concierge or Butler style villas/accommodations.

More Included at Beaches

The resort provides a unique all-inclusive experience and your kids will love the Kids Camps, where they can spend time with other kids, participate in fun activities, while being supervised by certified babysitters from the morning until the late afternoon.
