With a view of the turquoise water and white sands of the lagoon and surrounded by lush greenery, Lagoon Villa XVIII is a sublime four-bedroom sanctuary in the Caribbean sunshine of Turks & Caicos. Comfortably sleeping up to eight guests, this contemporary masterpiece blends a clean, cultivated look with the laid-back island ambience to create a memorable family hideaway.

Peace and tranquillity are the order of the day at Long Beach Hills, where the lagoon waters are uninterrupted by motorised water sports and the only sound you’ll hear is the gentle splash of a kayak or SUP paddle. This is a place for relaxing and taking things easy, before heading into nearby Providenciales for a lazy afternoon browsing the markets and boutiques of the island capital. Finish the day with a meal at one of the many restaurants lining the beaches, where freshly seared Mahi Mahi steaks are accompanied by exotic rum cocktails and dreamlike sunsets.

Lagoon Villa XVIII embraces the island lifestyle to the max with an inviting sun deck overlooking the lagoon, while the cool interiors are light and airy, embellished with premium-quality furnishings and cheeky pops of colour to add character. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances and everything the budding chef needs to prepare some Creole-inspired nibbles, or dine al fresco with the lagoon as the backdrop.

Four bedrooms provide tranquil oases of calm, decorated in serene tones and with the sound of the breeze rustling the palm trees to send you off into a blissful sleep. Three of the bedrooms feature indulgent king-size beds, while the fourth has two twin beds, ideal for younger guests. The ensuites are finished to an exemplary standard, with high-quality fixtures, deep soak tubs, and rainfall showers.

Outside, a pool sparkles in the sunshine, or soothe aching muscles after a day’s kayaking in the hot tub. A deck leads directly to the lagoon, where you can launch your paddleboard or snorkel in the clear waters. Lagoon Villa XVIII is the quintessential Caribbean experience that will stay with you forever.
