For a quiet, condo-style luxury property in Providenciales, the Venetian at Grace Bay is hard to top. The 27 contemporary condos are individually owned, and there may be limited availability during high season when many owners return. The three-bedroom, three-and-half-bath units (which can be converted to have fewer bedrooms) are enormous; all have kitchens and ocean-view balconies. Guests can choose from playing tennis, renting bikes, grilling up grub in the barbecue area, or taking a refreshing swim in the courtyard pool. There is also a large fitness room and small spa treatment room (appointment only) located in the lobby. Grace Bay Beach is one of the biggest draws, and its fine white sand and crystal blue waters can be found right behind the hotel. Just note that it's one of the most expensive properties on the island (for a reason), and the semi-removed location means that rental cars or taxi cabs are a must.

Gansevoort Turks and Caicos is a swish luxury property located on idyllic Grace Bay Beach. The property is among the chicest resorts in the Caribbean, with its modern, minimalist design and 91 studios and suites all offering great ocean views. Some rooms have terraces and kitchenettes. A dramatic infinity pool, two exceptional restaurants, and access to a sugary white-sand beach are all icing on the cake. This luxury, however, comes at a price -- room rates are steep, food is expensive, and many extras, such as daybeds on the beach or pool islands, cost extra. Breakfast, snorkel gear, yoga classes, and bikes are excellent freebies and weekly DJ sets liven up the romantic atmosphere. Guests may also want to consider upscale properties nearby like West Bay Club or The Palms.

Location is key at this 52-room luxury condo resort, which is situated directly on Grace Bay and less than a minute's walk from the island’s best shopping and dining sites. Quiet, sophisticated, and pristine, the four-plus-acre property features a jaw-dropping pool, large fitness center, and poolside bar -- but the spacious condo-style suites -- though upscale -- vary in quality of decor, and the lack of an on-site restaurant might deter some travelers.

Sands at Grace Bay is an easy-going four-pearl resort located on stunning Grace Bay Beach. The property’s 114 studios and suites are well-kept and modern, with all featuring either kitchens or kitchenettes as well as big living areas. Sands offers a respectable lineup of amenities, including three excellent pools, an above-average restaurant, and a small spa and modest fitness center. While its facilities and rooms aren’t as spectacular as many of the other luxury resorts lining Grace Bay, it’s one of the most affordable upscale properties in the area. Travelers may also want to consider Windsong Resort nearby, but it tends to be pricier.

As the island's first resort, the 290-room, mid-range Club Med Turkoise has lost a bit of its original sex appeal. But even though its small rooms (with no balconies) are slightly dated, and have begun to show some signs of wear and tear, the hotel's bar still throws some of the island's latest parties. The village-sized property stays packed, thanks to the stretch of pristine beach just off the back of the hotel, the nightly live entertainment, and the huge variety of water and land activities offered (including trapeze sessions and scuba diving). It's not ideal for those looking for romance or privacy, but it's a solid bet for solo travelers and any couples or groups looking for a sociable holiday on a budget.
