Providenciales Guide & Reviews Villas and Apartments to Rent, Holiday Homes in Providenciales
Providenciales, also known as "Provo" is the most developed island within the Turks & Caicos archipelago and is the tourist hub. The island is blessed with some of the world's best beaches such as Grace Bay - palm fringed silky soft powdery white sand and warm crystal clear water takes some beating!
Providenciales is just 18 miles long and 7 miles wide and at its centre, you'll find Blue Mountain that rises 135 feet in to the Caribbean sky. Its a gentle hike to the top where there are fantastic panoramic views - the barrier reef to the north and the turquoise shallow waters to the south.
Away from the reefs and gorgeous beaches, Providenciales has plenty to offer from the lively street markets, shops, bars and restaurants to exploring some of the island's natural wonders such as the National Park.
