Caribbean Honeymoons on a Budget

Fabulous Turks and Caicos Honeymoons Need Not Break the Bank!

A romantic picnic on a gorgeous private beach, paddling along pristine azure waters, or enjoying the delicious world of conch cuisine; these are a few of the remarkable experiences newlyweds can enjoy during Caribbean honeymoons on a budget in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Head to the Beaches

You and your sweetie can find privacy and relaxation at Leeward Beach at the northeastern end of Providenciales, just east of where Grace Bay Beach ends. How about a picnic for two? Caicos Bakery is only a four minute walk from Villa del Mar, and Graceway Gourmet only a 15 minute walk. Pick up some delicious takeaway items and relax on the soft sands. You can beachcomb or sunbathe then cool off with a swim in the pristine Caicos waters.

Take a Dip

Are you and your partner keen to see the amazing world under the sea? The Turks and Caicos Islands boast some of the best snorkeling in the world. West of Grace Bay is Coral Gardens, an ideal spot if you’re new to snorkeling. It offers a wonderful reef very close to the shore, so access is easy. The water is pristine, so your visibility is excellent. It’s not too expensive to rent gear from nearby operators like Dive Provo or you can bring your own mask and snorkel.

Paddle Away

You won’t want to miss kayaking at Chalk Sound if your idea of a perfect afternoon is a one-with-nature experience. This absolutely stunning natural lagoon features calm waters, mangroves and tiny cays. Visitors repeatedly rave about the clarity and blue colour of the water describing it as “incredible”, “crystal clear ” and “impossibly fluorescent”. The sound is home to unique creatures like the rock iguana, the endangered sea turtle and the laughing gull. You can rent a kayak for an hour from Neptune Villas: single kayaks are $25 and double kayaks $35.

Enjoy Local Flavors

How about celebrating your new relationship with a delightful meal? Dining out can be affordable, and there are local eateries offering some delectable dishes. If you’re looking for local Turks and Caicos cuisine, visit Da Conch Shack situated on Blue Hills Beach. Here conch (pronounced conk), an island delicacy and symbol of Turks and Caicos culture, is prepared in a number of ways. You can enjoy conch ceviche, cracked conch, conch salad and conch fritters. Another great choice is Turks Kebab, which offers delicious eastern Mediterranean fare at affordable prices. The menu features a blend of flavours including Turkish Adana, Iskender Shish Kebab, Greek Gyros and Mexican Tortilla Wraps.

Sleep Easy

Great savings on Providenciales accommodations are also available throughout the year. Villa del Mar often offers a pre-Christmas holiday Third Night Free special, an Early Booking Bonus Fifth Night Free in popular January, and budget-friendly summer rates beginning in April every year.

For a wedding vacation that definitely has the “wow” factor while still being affordable, keep the Turks and Caicos Islands at the top of your list.
