Set on Grace Bay Beach, recognized as one of the world’s best, and with a companion villa compound on the nearby ultra-private Sunset Cove, the property is one of only two hotels in the entire Caribbean region to newly join Forbes’ ranks as a Four Star property this year.
According to Shelley Rincon, CEO, Wymara Resort + Villas, the recognition by Forbes has energized the whole Wymara team.

“We’re exceptionally proud of our amazing colleagues who have worked so hard with us to achieve this honour,” she says. “We have newly renovated studios and suites, luxurious villas offering exclusive access to the first in-ocean pool in the Caribbean, incredible restaurants that attract visitors from around the world, and a prized location along iconic Grace Bay Beach.
“Ultimately, however, it’s our approach to service, attention to detail and dedicated team members that keep our guests coming back year after year. This recognition means so much to everyone here, and we’re striving towards becoming the first Five Star Forbes rated property in the Turks and Caicos Islands next year.”

SUPPORTING REEF CONSERVATION
Driven by a goal to create a truly sustainable paradise, Wymara continues to prioritize green initiatives. New this year, the property has introduced a $2USD surcharge per night on all guest stays which will be donated directly to the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund. The resort expects to raise $50,000 per year to support the tireless work to preserve, protect and restore the marine environment that the Turks & Caicos Islands are famed for.
One of the fund’s core activities is to create coral ladders – new coral fragments cultivated from scratch at in-water nurseries until they are strong enough to be planted out on the natural reef, the third largest in the world.
“The exceptional marine environment around the islands is one of the highlights for any visitor and we want to do everything we can to help our guests to travel responsibly and sustainably,” says Rincon.
