Tripadvisor recently published their Traveler's Choice Top Ten Islands of 2015, and who should hold the leading spot but the Caribbean's very own Providenciales Island of Turks and Caicos! That's right, visitors have voted Providenciales as their number one island destination for 2015, and it’s no surprise to us. From world-famous Grace Bay to Chalk Sound and everywhere in between, Providenciales offers the ultimate Caribbean experience in natural beauty, luxury, and relaxation.
Already a Traveler's Choice winner on multiple occasions, Grace Bay is no doubt a Providenciales must-see, boasting 12 miles of radiant white sand, turquoise blue water, and beautiful plant life. There are quieter, more private beach locations such as Sapodilla and Taylor Bay, but the views on Grace Bay are spectacular and the sand as white as sugar.
Chalk Sound is another feature that is just as breathtaking as Grace Bay, but in a completely different way. It is the island's largest lagoon with intense beauty. The bright blue shades of the water seem to change with every new angle, and the tropical landscapes that encompass it are unreal. Many travelers will devote some of their time to kayaking through the water and reveling in the scenery to gain a full Providenciales experience.

Along with Grace Bay and Chalk Sound, the Traveler's Choice list includes raving reviews of Bight Reef (also known as Coral Gardens), an excellent reef for underwater exploration. Snorkelers can get up close to its tame creatures, often because the fish are used to visitors here. One will even spot turtles, stingrays, and/or lobsters on occasion! This isn't the only snorkeling spot on the island, either; our favorite is Smith's Reef, which is just a five-minute drive up Grace Bay's coast.
With plenty to do and see on the island, "where are we going to eat?" is sometimes the big question. And as you can imagine, the restaurants are an extra factor as to why Providenciales is #1. From the luxury and excellence of Coco Bistro to the relaxed atmosphere of Las Brisas, there are over 20 interesting dining experiences to be had.
And finally, an island is only a top choice for travelers if its lodging accommodations are beyond expectation. The villas, hotels, and resorts of Providenciales give guests the supreme luxury they crave for in a Caribbean getaway while offering sights and experiences that only Providenciales can provide.
