Category The Shore Club Turks and Caicos Ocean Club West, Grace Bay Beach
Overall Vibe Polished all-ages luxury resort on Long Bay Beach with a quieter, more secluded feel, multiple pools, dining, spa, and family amenities. Relaxed Grace Bay Beach property with a more casual, beach-first atmosphere and an easiergoing vacation style.

Rooms & Suites Luxury rooms, suites, and villa-style accommodations, including Estate Villas with views toward Long Bay’s turquoise water. Better suited to travelers who prefer a more residential, condo-style beach stay rather than a high-touch luxury resort format.

Pools & Beach Four distinct pools, including an adults-only pool and family-friendly Sea Grapes pool, plus Long Bay Beach frontage. Grace Bay Beach is the draw, ideal for travelers who want to base their trip around one of Providenciales’ most famous shorelines.
