Beaches Turks & Caicos Opens New Village
Beaches Resort Turks & Caicos just opened its new Treasure Beach Village with 101 rooms, including larger family suites. The expansion features an infinity lagoon pool, swim-up bar, and unique "Starfish Cinema" — plus a swim-up snow cone bar that's sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
The new Treasure Beach Village represents a $150 million investment in the Beaches Turks & Caicos property. This expansion brings the resort's total room count to 858, solidifying its position as the largest resort in the territory. The addition is the sixth "village" on the property, joining the existing Caribbean, Seaside, Key West, Italian, and French villages. This expansion specifically targets the growing trend of multi-generational travel, with many of the 101 new units being larger family suites with two, three, or even four bedrooms. Some of the new accommodations include the three-story beachfront CrystalSky Reserve Villas, which can house up to 10 guests and feature private pools and rooftop decks. The parent company, Sandals Resorts International, is in the midst of a nearly $1 billion push to double the footprint of its family-focused Beaches brand. In addition to the Turks & Caicos expansion, new Beaches resorts are planned for Barbados, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, where an existing Sandals property in Exuma is being converted. Tourism is the primary driver of the Turks and Caicos economy, accounting for a significant portion of the nation's GDP. The Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Charles Washington Misick, has publicly recognized the substantial economic impact the Beaches resort has had on the islands since its opening. The new village is expected to create more jobs and further stimulate the local economy. The resort's expansion comes with a stated commitment to environmental sustainability. Parent company Sandals Resorts International has eliminated single-use plastic straws and styrofoam across all its properties. All Beaches resorts are part of the EarthCheck certification program, which benchmarks environmental and social performance.
