This Turks and Caicos All-inclusive Resort Has Just 45 Rooms-and It Makes for a Perfect Girls' Trip

"Relaxation isn't my strong suit. I'm wired to go nonstop and make the most out of each trip, vacation or not. So when I stepped onto my suite's private balcony at Blue Haven Resort, overlooking picture-perfect turquoise waters, and took a deep breath of the warm sea air, I felt that relaxing in peace and tranquility might be possible. I had just arrived in the Turks and Caicos,"

"allowing guests to also enjoy the famous Grace Bay Beach and its buzzier scene. "This program is a big deal for us," says Francine Stewart, director of sales and marketing at Blue Haven Resort. "Blue Haven offers a private beach with a more relaxed vibe, and Alexandra is on the famous Grace Bay Beach with an upbeat vibe. There's a shuttle and guests can go in between and experience everything both properties offer.""

"So during our four-night stay, my best friend and I made it our mission to ping-pong between the resorts to make the most out of our time here. In the morning, we sipped smoothies on the beach and lazed in lounge chairs or hammocks in Blue Haven, and in the afternoon, we hopped aboard a 10-minute shuttle for a food truck-style lunch at Alexandra before our snorkel cruise out of Grace Bay."

Blue Haven Resort sits on the northeastern shore of Providenciales in Turks and Caicos and features a boutique all-inclusive model with a private beach, marina, sports shack, and a more intimate size. The resort partners with nearby Alexandra Resort on a 'stay at one, play at two' program that provides shuttle service for guests to enjoy Grace Bay Beach and both properties' amenities. Guests alternate relaxed mornings at Blue Haven with upbeat afternoons at Alexandra, enjoying smoothies, lounge chairs, hammocks, food truck-style lunches, and snorkel cruises. Evenings include live music, al fresco cocktails at the Infused 360 Bar and personalized service from bartenders.
