Nov 22 – Beach Enclave Ground Breaking

Published

on

Providenciales, TCI, November 22, 2016 – Providenciales, Turks & Caicos – Beach Enclave, a new concept offering the remarkable amenities and flawless services of a luxury resort recalibrated in a private villa setting, will debut Beach Enclave North Shore in November 2016 with nine ultra-luxury villas along the pristine and secluded coastal beaches of Turks & Caicos. The first of three developments on the coveted Caribbean islands, Beach Enclave North Shore will redefine modern hospitality, featuring refined service and specialized amenities designed for today’s most discerning travelers.

Beach Enclave North Shore combines the concept of home ownership with private villa rentals. Each of the nine beachfront and ocean view villas sold within one year from launch, and will be available for reservations beginning in November.

“As the preeminent luxury hospitality brand focused on private villas, we are thrilled to introduce an unprecedented travel experience to the region with the debut of the Beach Enclave concept in Turks & Caicos,” said Vasco Borges, Co-Founder and CEO of Beach Enclave. “Our commitment to the needs of our guests combined with bold design in a stunning locale makes for a truly singular island escape. We look forward to welcoming guests and inviting them to make one of our North Shore villas their home away from home while on island.”

Conceived for sophisticated, barefoot beach living at its best, Beach Enclave North Shore offers both beachfront and ocean view villas, boasting over 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space with the four- and five-bedroom homes. Each North Shore beachfront villa additionally offers a private beach area, offering a fully secluded beach experience at the steps of one’s villa. With a signature design that brings the indoors outside and the outside indoors, each villa is positioned to seamlessly showcase the spectacular views of the azure water and simultaneously invite natural trade winds through its doors. Infinity-edge pools, a built-in outdoor BBQ area, outdoor showers and multiple terraces and decks add to the villa’s allure. Stunning examples of contemporary beach architecture, the villas are located on a 10-acre beachfront enclave on one of the most exclusive beaches in Turks & Caicos, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.

Beach Enclave’s brand offering is unlike any other in the Caribbean as it affords guests the opportunity to enjoy the convenience and comfort of the services and amenities of a resort, as well as the luxury of a private home. Beach Enclave North Shore amenities and services include dedicated butler/maid; private chef services; and yoga sessions; among others. Beach Enclave guests also benefit from a concierge, who can manage requests such as arranging spa treatments, grocery stocking, airport transportation, dining reservations and more as well as access to an oceanfront, fully equipped fitness room and yoga terraces looking out to the ocean and the distant reef barrier. Beach amenities are also available to guests and include the set-up of loungers and umbrellas, delivery of towels and water and the use of kayaks and snorkel equipment to explore the nearby coral reef. Guests can also arrange for activities such as kite surfing lessons and private boating excursions on the water, one of the best ways to discover Turks & Caicos.

With the design for the villas inspired by the idea of open air Caribbean living, the architecture and interiors of the Beach Enclave North Shore villas work together to create seamless transitions from exterior to interior spaces. The organic yet refined design by SWA Architects and Domino Creative Interior Designers presents an effortless, elegant and calm setting to take in the magnificent views and surroundings, which are truly the star of each private home. Materials echo nature in the driftwood finish of the millwork and the ocean color of various fabrics, while local iron-shore provides the grey tones of accent furniture. The cedar shingles and native stone of the exteriors are reinterpreted as grayed wood and creamy white floors inside the villas, while the sun bleached palette is complimented with layered neutrals offset by watery blues and greens. Shapes throughout the collection of villas reference nature, ranging from the oblique edge detail of the custom coffee table, to the literal translation of the “pebble” coffee table—an outdoor piece that replicates a stone found in nature only a few hundred times larger. Highlights of the exceptional furnishings include an over-sized, suspended daybed of solid teak construction and fully upholstered, plush double chaise lounges, both catering to peaceful afternoons with room for two.

Beach Enclave North Shore villas feature a fully equipped, top-of-the-line ocean-facing kitchen, with option to hire a chef for a meal or an entire stay, and indoor and outdoor dining is able to be enjoyed with the service of a private butler. Each beachfront villa has its own private beach area, each with the added benefit of a secluded wood deck shaded by natural vegetation and featuring a summer kitchen, fire-pit and outdoor shower. The ocean view villas are distinct with unmatched ocean views made possible by a 65-foot elevation. The beach and dedicated ocean view villas’ beach decks are a short walk or golf cart drive away.

Following the heels of the successful launch of Beach Enclave North Shore, with all homes sold within one year from launch, the brand’s expansion plans in Turks & Caicos will include the debut of Beach Enclave Long Bay and Beach Enclave Grace Bay. Construction of Beach Enclave Long Bay’s five luxury villas, located along one of Providenciales’ most exclusive beaches, will begin in November 2016, following a successful villa sales launch – the enclave will debut late 2017.

Beach Enclave Grace Bay is launching sales this winter, following a Friends and Family release earlier in the year, with just a few villas left for sale – construction is scheduled to start mid 2107. Beach Enclave North Shore villa rentals start at $2,500 plus tax per night for a four-bedroom villa and $4,000 plus tax per night for a five-bedroom villa. Providenciales, Turks & Caicos is easily assessable from a range of destinations, with direct flights offered daily. Flight time from New York is approximately three hours and flight time from Miami is approximately 90 minutes.

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, 27th March, 2024 – Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands: The Department of Tourism Regulations is proud to unveil the “Rate Your Ride” system, a new initiative designed to enhance the vacation experience for tourists exploring our picturesque islands.

The “Rate Your Ride” system empowers tourists to provide valuable feedback on the quality of transportation services they receive while visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands. Through an easy-to-use online form, tourists can rate factors such as cleanliness, comfort, safety, and professionalism of drivers, helping us to assure the highest quality of service standards across all modes of transportation.

By participating in the “Rate Your Ride” system, tourists play a crucial role in shaping the future of transportation services in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Their feedback will enable us to identify areas for improvement and ensure that every visitor enjoys safe, comfortable, and convenient travel throughout their stay in the Turks and Caicos.

The code will also be publicly accessible through the cooperation of volunteer drivers who will make the rating code available in their vehicles. Flyers and stickers displaying the code will be distributed at hotels, resorts and airports. The mandated display of these codes is expected to align with the rollout of our tourism regulations in 2025.

FROM THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

 

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, 27th March 2024– The Department of Behavioral Health Services is appealing to the general public to refrain from recording and circulating videos of persons who may appear to be experiencing a mental health crisis. Anyone can experience a mental health crisis at some point in their life. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year. Persons may struggle with very common conditions such as Anxiety and Depression or be diagnosed with more serious conditions like Bipolar Disorder or Psychosis.

“There are a lot of misunderstandings about various mental health conditions and how they may manifest. In addition, there are a number of negative perceptions and misconceptions that society exhibits towards people with mental health problems. However, just as we would show care and concern for someone diagnosed with Cancer, or any other physical illness, in the same way, we need to be as caring and helpful to persons with mental illnesses”– stated Director of the Department of Behavioral Health Services, Dr. Alicia Malcolm.

The Department is urging the public to call the following numbers if you see someone who appears to be experiencing a mental health crisis:

338-5473/338-3616: Providenciales, North or Middle Caicos

338-3614/338-3612: Grand Turk, South Caicos, Salt Cay

Breaking Ground: TCI Could Lead in Regional Communication Standards

Published

on

Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, 27th March 2024: The PR, marketing, and communications sector is poised for potential growth and could lead the Caribbean region in terms of industry standards says Damian Wilson. Wilson’s suggestion comes after the release of a new research report into the current trends and future direction of the sector as a possible emerging industry in the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI).

Wilson is the report’s author, which conveys the findings of research which he initiated. “One of the key research results is the considerable optimism by industry practitioners and government alike, with persons seeing growth potential. I believe that we can become regional leaders in this field. I believe that one of the initiatives that could be used to do this is by establishing a ‘TCI Centre of Communications Excellence’ within the TCI Community College. Such an institute would be dedicated to communication and media innovation with a particular focus on digital communications and ICT,” says Wilson.

He further explained, “I believe that the PR, marketing, and communications sector, like much of the country, is at a crossroads and could have an even greater impact on our socio-economic fabric. Some may have concerns about our small size, but I believe this makes us far more agile than our neighbours. All in all, any potential growth must be underpinned by new investments, professional development, and a strategy to integrate the sector into the broader economy.”

Wilson also said that he sees his research as a first step in understanding our own industry sectors in the TCI and would love to see more profound research and analysis conducted. He’s hoping that the report will spark discussion along those lines. The report is entitled ‘Current Trends and Future Direction: A Preliminary Report on the PR, Marketing, and Communications Sector in the Turks & Caicos Islands’. Anyone wanting a copy of the report can contact Damian Wilson via his email, damian.wilson.pr@gmail.com.
