Introducing Providenciales
It wasn’t too long ago that Providenciales, or Provo as it’s known locally, was a sleepy little corner of the Caribbean. But unlike the rest of the islands in the T&C, the secret is out. Everywhere you look there is a new hotel sprouting from the ground and the promise of more to come.

The upside to all this development is that finding a room beachside isn’t a mission – there are stacks to choose from. But that’s one of the few positives – hotels are getting taller and the rate of development is staggering. One must wonder where all the tourists are going to come from? For the moment, rooms are easy to come by, deals are simple to find and the beach is still quiet.
Provo is home to Grace Bay Beach, one of the best beaches in the country – the whiter than white sand draws visitors from around the globe. Despite the explosive growth there is an unhurried feel to Provo – people walk slow, talk slow and sail through life at a relaxed pace.
