There exists a place so spectacularly attractive it defies logic. A place that is so remarkably magnetic and that exerts such a powerful effect upon those fortunate enough to experience its wonders that it changes a person. A place that is as much blissful state of mind as luxurious physical space. Where is this place, you ask? In case you missed the title, we're talking about the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos. It's vibed up and it's waiting for your arrival.
Here at Gansevoort, where the super-sleek and stylish reputation precedes itself, the good times continue around the clock. The resort is a seamless fusion of the very best of Caribbean allure and urban chic sophistication, a veritable hotspot of the freshest and hippest elements of relaxation and entertainment. Smack dab on the western end of Grace Bay Beach, the sexiest boutique hotel in the Caribbean is an experience for the senses. It's recognized as one of the top ten trendiest resorts in the world and made the 2013 Condé Nast "Gold List", and it absolutely radiates laid-back cool and comfort.
The focal point is the infinity pool - and chances are, the instant you see it you'll feel right in the groove. This breathtaking 7,000 sq. ft. chill zone is where the magic happens. The beautiful people are decked out in their best swimsuit attire and the DJ is spinning some sexy lounge music as the palms sway to the trademark rhythm. Folks are stretched out and vibing on the deck or on the exclusive island pods that seem to float on the infinity pool's surface. The staff also seem to float effortlessly around the pool delivering the perfect frozen snack and cocktails to help create the feeling of total bliss and beauty that is the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos.
Suites
More like sweet, amirite? Hehe. But seriously, the 91 guestrooms (including 32 suites and 4 penthouses) are exercises in total style and sophistication. Done up in the Mediterranean tones of white and blue with elegant wood finish, all the accommodation is exquisite. From the studios (in pool-view or spa) to the one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites and beyond, they're all incredibly awesome and it just depends on what your needs are. If you're not getting direct oceanfront views from the huge balconies, you're at least getting a sinewiew of the sea. Most of the rooms have sliding frosted glass doors and automatic blackout blinds and rain showers and state-of-the-art full kitchens (or kitchenettes) and are basically just complete lounge zones. Your room is indeed a veritable oasis within this boutique hotel oasis within the oasis of Grace Bay Beach. Check out our main man Caribbean Clint's Gansevoort videos for walkthroughs of each room.
