Andaz Unveils Plans for Luxury Grace Bay Resort Ahead of Spring 2027 Opening
Andaz has unveiled details of its highly anticipated luxury resort on Grace Bay, offering a first look at the property's architecture, accommodations, dining experiences and wellness facilities ahead of its scheduled opening in spring 2027.
Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay will mark the brand's first Caribbean island resort and Hyatt's entry into the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Located along the world-famous Grace Bay Beach, the 132-key development will feature 59 hotel rooms and 73 branded residences, including 10 penthouses with private rooftop plunge pools. The residences will also be available for guest stays.
The resort's design, led by RAD Architecture with interiors by Modus Operandi, draws inspiration from the islands' maritime history, natural surroundings and cultural heritage.
Among its distinctive architectural features is an arrival corridor modeled on the skeleton of an overturned boat, reflecting the islands' historical connection to the sea. Guestrooms will incorporate design elements inspired by the distinctive stripes of traditional Turks and Caicos dress.
The building will follow the natural curve of the coastline, taking advantage of its west-facing orientation to provide guests with sweeping ocean views and spectacular sunsets.
Dining will be a major component of the resort experience, with four culinary concepts planned: Tamarà, Baie, Palmette and the lobby bar.
Tamarà will offer indoor and outdoor oceanfront dining in a setting featuring deep bottle-green tiles inspired by tropical forests. Baie, a two-level venue, will operate as a casual pool bar during the day before transitioning into a more refined dining and social setting in the evening.
The resort's lobby bar will feature a cocktail programme inspired by centuries-old punch traditions, incorporating island flavours, fresh citrus and botanicals.
Palmette will serve single-origin coffee and daytime fare while showcasing a curated selection of locally made products.
Wellness will also feature prominently, with the 7,000-square-foot Runa Spa & Wellness offering a range of treatments and recovery experiences.
The spa will include Nordic-style thermal treatments, massage chairs, compression boots, red light therapy and vibroacoustic therapy. Locally sourced salt will also be incorporated into treatments, paying tribute to the Turks and Caicos Islands' longstanding salt-making heritage.
Additional amenities will include three swimming pools, a fitness centre, a dedicated Kids Club, tennis and pickleball courts, and facilities for weddings and special events.
Beyond its luxury offerings, the development has outlined a commitment to environmental conservation and protecting the surrounding marine ecosystem.
The resort is situated near the world's third-largest barrier reef system, and its environmental initiatives include operational conservation measures, direct funding and support for marine protection projects.
Among those efforts is the installation of a protective buoy system in 2025, while a portion of proceeds from guest stays will benefit the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund.
The unveiling provides a clearer picture of the resort's planned offerings as it prepares to enter the territory's competitive luxury hospitality market.
With its combination of beachfront accommodations, branded residences, upscale dining and wellness experiences, Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay is expected to add another high-end hospitality offering to Providenciales when it opens in spring 2027.
