Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

Wymara Resort + Villas

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose the Grace Bay resort for modern beachfront living, or the separate Sunset Cove villas when privacy, room to gather and direct ocean access matter more.

About the hotel

Wymara pairs a 93-room beachfront resort on the western end of Grace Bay with a separate villa enclave at Sunset Cove on Providenciales’ southern coast. The main resort puts studios, suites and penthouses within steps of the beach, a 7,000-square-foot infinity pool and its dining venues. The villas are a different proposition: one- to six-bedroom stays with private pools and ocean access, connected to the Grace Bay resort by shuttle. The original resort opened in 2009 as Gansevoort Turks + Caicos and adopted the Wymara name in 2019.

Choose it if

You want a Grace Bay stay where the beach, infinity pool and dining venues are close together.
You’re traveling with a group and want a separate one- to six-bedroom villa, private pool and access to the villa-only Sunset Cove Beach Club.
You plan to spend time on the water: resort guests can use kayaks, paddleboards, Hobie cats and snorkeling equipment.

Skip it if

You want your villa itself on Grace Bay: Wymara’s villa enclave is at Sunset Cove on Providenciales’ southern coast, a separate stay from the beachfront resort.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

Guests describe clean rooms in both the main building and a room nearer the beach. One guest praised their room and private patio but found the resort too far from town for their preference, with limited food options.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“I went about 2 months ago and stayed in the main building, and a room closer to the beach, both were really clean. I get creeped out by bugs really easily.”

“Bottom line for me, it’s very nice, we have a killer room w private patio, but it’s too remote from town for my preference, food options are limited”
