Best Resorts in Turks and Caicos Islands: Readers’ Choice Awards 2025

Sometimes you just want a vacation that requires nothing more than jogging between the beach and the pool and back again. The Palms, which just unveiled a complete renovation of its pool deck (along with a new restaurant and other updated details), is the place for it. Bring a stack of books and some plans in addition to dinner reservations. Room options span one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Additionally, there are also eight penthouse suites for even more space. The Penthouse Suites also have outdoor showers if you’re the type of traveler who prefers to take a dip under the palm trees, and all suites feature spacious balconies for relaxing after a day in the sun, many of which have great ocean views. The Palms is known for its spa, for which it has won a few awards over the years, and occupies an entire acre of the property’s 12 acres. Once checked in, you could easily spend the entire day: there are tinkling water fountains and cabanas to retreat to before or after a treatment, as well as a sauna and steam room to come and go as you please.
