Turks & Caicos' Beach Enclave offers private, luxurious villa stays
Guests staying at Beach Enclave Turks & Caicos can find a touch of home, a welcome addition for those seeking some solitude while on an upscale vacation.
“We are a private villa resort, combining resort amenities and service with the privacy of your home and a dedicated, full-time staff including butler, chef and housekeeper,” founder Vasco Borges tells Travel Courier. “If you wish, your hotel room is a fully staffed private villa.”
Across the company’s four resorts in Turks and Caicos, and an upcoming resort in Anguilla, Beach Enclave offers beachfront and ocean view villas ranging from two to seven bedrooms, with the ability to combine villas.
“Each villa enjoys up to one acre of private gardens, its own pool and staff and beach experience, in addition to the resort amenities,” he noted. “In addition, our Long Bay resort is opening a Beach Club with five hotel suites.”
Borges makes it clear that Beach Enclave is high-end, reaching out to those who appreciate an upscale vacation experience.
“We offer what we believe is true luxury, a bespoke experience tailored to each guests’ ideal specifications,” he continued. “Imagine having your own resort staff and no set times for meals or enjoyment of services such as yoga or watersports. Concierge team that comes to you and sets your itinerary pre-arrival and during your stay. We create your own enclave. Which is why so many of our guests return.”
The base Beach Enclave package includes airport transfers, freshly prepared breakfast pastries and fruits delivered daily, kiteboarding lessons, complimentary daily yoga, non-motorized water sports equipment, concierge pre-arrival and during the guest’s stay, full-time dedicated butler, daily housekeeping and turndown service, pool and beach service. In addition, the resorts offer a fitness centre open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, tennis/paddle/pickle ball, evening games, beach club/restaurant at North Shore and Long Bay, private chef on call, spa menu and services in villa, and more.
Borges says his resort shouldn’t be thought of as pricey. “With all of the inclusions Beach Enclave includes when the rate is broken down per bedroom, we offer excellent value for money where guests can enjoy the space and luxury of a spacious villa. Ideal for reconnecting with family and friends under the same roof and yet with plenty of space in the villa and resort,” he said. “Turks and Caicos is unique in combining excellent airlift from the eastern seaboard with yearlong balmy weather and admittedly some of the best beaches in the world. You can easily have breakfast in Toronto, fly commercial and find yourself in one of the best beaches in the world by lunch time.”
Beach Enclave hasn’t gone the all-inclusive route popular throughout much of the Caribbean, instead hosting guests who “are looking for a more bespoke, customer oriented experience, with five star service, highlighting guests hot buttons where guests’ every need is taken care of versus a mass market type of experience,” Borges states.
“Besides the in-resort activities and wide array of dining offered on island, we often suggest our guests to experience ocean activities. Beach Enclave Long Bay is located on perhaps one of the best spots in the world for learning to kiteboard all the way to intermediate, you can walk from the villa to the beach and onto a board. Beach Enclave North Shore is located on a protected national park, with beautiful coral swimmable from the beach and daily turtle spotting. Further away, kayaking on the mangroves, scuba diving on the third largest coral reef system in the world, swimming with whales or just lounge on a deserted beach bank are some of the unique offerings in Turks and Caicos.”
Meanwhile, Borges says Canadians love his destination and have been traveling to the island for years. There is daily direct lift with Air Canada and WestJet, he continues, adding Beach Enclave partners with a number of travel agencies and tour operators in this country.
