HawksbillTurks and Caicos

Lavishly spread across a five-acre site, the scale and grandeur of Hawksbill Estate make it the ideal setting for a family getaway. It's located in the Turks and Caicos Islands, 550 miles southeast of Miami, Florida and just below the Bahamas. The villa stands on the powdery white sands of Grace Bay, shaded by tall swaying palm trees and with sublime Atlantic Ocean vistas. This beachfront bolthole is a 15-minute drive from Providenciales International Airport and five minutes from Grace Bay’s impressive clutch of restaurants and shops.

Designed as a multi-generational sanctuary, the focus of Hawksbill is family-orientated, spacious living. A magnificent Great Room forms the central point of the primary house, with unrivalled views over Grace Bay and an abundance of natural light. A separate family space is an excellent place for children to unwind, with various games and a large-screen TV. The Villa sleeps up to 16 guests in eight bedrooms, which are scattered between a number of individual buildings. For those in search of an added layer of privacy, an exclusive master suite has been created offering sumptuous panoramas and a generous private bathing courtyard.

Hawksbill's wide expanse of tropical landscape and idyllic whitewash enclosures provide a gorgeous selection of nooks for you and your guests to explore and relax in. The perfectly crafted oversized pool and lap pool are a calling card to all devoted sun-lovers, who can while away sunny afternoons with a few gentle laps. Alternatively, you can head down to the shore a stone's throw away and paddle in the crystal clear warm waters of the bay. There's a fully equipped gym on-site, as well as a private tennis court for a knock about with the kids. Wildlife fans should put aside time to visit Little Water Cay, a wonderful habitat full of friendly iguanas.
