  • Looking for perfect weather? December through April brings warm, sunny days and low humidity—ideal for beach days and pool time.

  • Want lower crowds and better deals? Late April through early June and September through early November offer quieter resorts and often more promotional rates. Hurricane season is technically June to November, but early fall trips can be wonderful with flexibility.

Where to Stay: Village Overview

Beaches Turks & Caicos is a sprawling resort made up of five distinct villages, each with its own vibe, architecture, and amenities. No matter where you stay, you have full access to the entire resort—but choosing the right village helps match your family’s style.

Caribbean Village

Nestled along the beach with beautiful tropical gardens and colorful pastel buildings, the Caribbean Village offers a laid-back, authentic island atmosphere. It’s located near the resort’s main pools and just a short walk to the heart of the restaurants and entertainment areas.
Best for: Families wanting a more relaxed, tropical vibe with easy access to the beach and pools.

French Village
Inspired by the charm and elegance of France, the French Village centers around a large, zero-entry pool that’s perfect for kids and casual swim days. It's set slightly back from the beach—about a 5-10 minute walk—but still close to many dining options and activities. Rooms here are often more budget-friendly without sacrificing the Beaches experience.
Best for: Families who want a quieter, more affordable option while staying close to all the action.

Italian Village
The Italian Village is the heart of Beaches Turks & Caicos, known for its spacious suites designed with families in mind. It's just steps from the beach, Pirates Island Waterpark, and several top restaurants, making it incredibly convenient for active families. The lively atmosphere and central location mean you're right in the middle of everything.
Best for: Families with young kids or multi-generational groups looking for space, luxury, and proximity to all the fun.

Key West Village
Key West Village offers an elegant, residential feel with spacious villas, private pools, and a quieter overall atmosphere. Located at the far end of the resort, it’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the central restaurants and main lobby, but it has its own dining options and beach access. It’s perfect for those seeking a peaceful, upscale retreat within the resort.
Best for: Larger families, groups wanting extra space, and guests looking for a more peaceful stay.

Seaside Village
Seaside Village offers a beachfront setting with charming, low-rise accommodations and an easygoing, barefoot-in-the-sand vibe. It’s located between the Caribbean and Italian Villages, giving guests prime access to both the beach and the resort’s main pools and restaurants within a very short walk.
Best for: Families who want quick, easy access to the sand and water.

Food Allergy Awareness

Beaches Resorts staff are highly trained in handling food allergies. Every restaurant offers allergy protocols to ensure safe meal preparation. Upon arrival, families can meet with the Culinary Concierge to review any dietary restrictions or allergy concerns and receive personalized support throughout their stay. Chefs are available to prepare custom meals, and many dining locations offer allergy-friendly menus or can modify dishes to meet your family’s needs.

Pro Tip: When you check in, schedule a meeting with the Culinary Concierge to discuss your family’s specific food allergy needs, ask about ingredient availability, and pre-plan any special dining experiences for the week. This extra step makes dining stress-free, so you can relax and enjoy every delicious moment.
