There’s also 20,000 square feet of meeting space, including a nearly 5,000-square-foot ballroom. 

And in a first for Turks and Caicos, there’s an on-site casino with traditional table games. 

“Reflecting the island’s genuine warmth and hospitality, The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos promises to be a beachfront haven for guests and locals alike,” said John Hazard, General Manager at The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos. “Through thoughtful programming, elevated amenities and distinct culinary experiences, our Ladies and Gentlemen look forward to welcoming guests and immersing them in all that this destination has to offer.”

It’s yet another boost for the destination, which has been among the buzziest travel hotspots in the Caribbean amid the pandemic, following Turks and Caicos’ July 2020 tourism reopening. 

“Whether enjoying a sunset sail or family snorkel from the resort’s private catamaran, Lady Grace, to relaxing poolside, The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos offers the perfect opportunity for our guests to recharge and reconnect while making lasting memories,” McNamara said.
