Choose the Right Order for Your Trip
Option A: Start at Ocean Club (Ease In, Then Venture Out)
Begin your vacation where calm beaches and sunset views set the tone. Unwind on Grace Bay’s soft sands, practice on the tennis courts, and enjoy two pools. Golfers can tee off just steps from Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club. After you’ve recharged, transition to Ocean Club West for walkable restaurants and shopping—perfect for sampling local flavors and browsing nearby boutiques.
Option B: Start at Ocean Club West (Explore First, Then Unplug)
If you like to hit the ground running, base yourself first at Ocean Club West, where you’re steps from restaurants & shopping and close to a variety of activities. Use the complimentary bicycles for a casual ride and take advantage of tennis & pickleball. Midway through, shift to Ocean Club to slow the pace—think beautiful sunsets, relaxed beach days, and a round or two at the adjacent course.
