Auction on Albert Burney’s Caribbean Haven

August 13th, 2012 Filed Under: Uncategorized, Turks and Caicos Resorts, Turks and Caicos Condos

Turks and Caicos Islands are one of the most sought after tropical islands near the Bahamas. These islands are best known to be a great place for business and pleasure, which is why Albert Burney Inc. has offered to host an auction here on July 28 in North Caicos.

Seaside Resort at Caicos Island

Several Turks and Caicos resorts will be up for grabs to the highest bidder. These include two world-class waterfront developments located on North Caicos Island, the Seaside and the North Caicos Yacht Club. These resorts will be home to five canal lots and beachfronts, and two villas, which are expected to be sold regardless of the price, named by the buyers.

This paradise island is well groomed with a row of beautiful palm trees that are lined on the sandy path, which leads to the oceanfront. This delightful village is set along the seaside of Turks and Caicos Islands, which is surprisingly full of amenities and useful facilities.

Turks and Caicos resorts have captivating cottages that are 1,000 square foot in size and have a wide-open air space perfect to bathe under sun to get a nice tan. All cottages are sold fully furnished, so there’s no need to worry about interior decorating. The villas also share a community pool located just a few steps away from the shores of the beach. Owning a private villa here makes a perfect weekend getaway an understatement.

 

Villa at the North Caicos Yacht Club

Located just across the North Caicos Yacht Club is the newly inaugurated Marina. Residents anticipated its completion because it is situated closely to the prominent Parrot Cay that offers the best canal lots in the Turks and Caicos Islands

Imagine living just a few feet away from the captivating sound of the beach. An inspiring view of the ocean is offered along with the sale of four waterfront lots. These will all be included in the upcoming auction.

Owning one of the few villas in Turks and Caicos resorts is must. According to the President of Albert Burney Inc., Warren Ward, “To get in on the early stages of a major development and also have the chance to purchase waterfront properties in North Caicos at absolute auction, regardless of price is an incredible opportunity.”

The islands may be considered a serene haven for a quiet living or vacation. Daily boat charterers and ferry services are available to all residents and tourists. It is no secret that this island is home to several prominent people, celebrities and business tycoons.

Amanyara Resort – Turks and Caicos Islands

July 4th, 2012 Filed Under: Turks and Caicos Resorts

Along the Northwest Point on Provindenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands  resides the Amanyara Resort – a popular yet private getaway spot that shines above the majority of Caribbean vacation villas with its extravagant design, serene environment, and hospitable plus professional staff.

Its name Amanyara is derived from the following two terms, namely: “Aman”, which is Sanskrit for “peace”, and “yara”, an Arawak Amerindians term for “place”. Considering its location, which is far from the developed areas at the eastern parts of the island, it’s not difficult to imagine how peaceful and private the place truly is.

Upon arrival, guests will make their way into the resort through a large and beautifully designed reception pavilion, which features a grand formal pool surrounded by trees. On one side of the pool is the restaurant and bar, while on the other side is the library and boutique.

The pleasant experience of having a few drinks and eating scrumptious food at the bar and restaurant is further enhanced with an open view of the vast, seemingly endless, body of ocean water. Moreover, sunlight light reflecting upon the adjacent pool coupled with the sounds from the sea further enhances the serenity of the surrounding environment.

Unlike other business establishments and Caribbean vacation villas within the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Amanyara Resort features two types of pavilions – in total, there are forty of these charming little buildings. First and foremost, we have the ocean pavilions, which are elevated at around seventeen feet above the waterline. Additionally, it features a rock pathway leading out the seafront, allowing guests to swim whenever desired.

The other type is the pond pavilion – as its name indicates, it’s located on the edge of the ponds within the resort. Each structure features a timber sundeck that extends over the pond, allowing visitors to catch better glimpses of the water below.

A notable fact about this resort is the ongoing construction of villas. Every bedroom pavilion bears strong resemblance to the other pavilions within Amanyara, but also has a few distinguishing features which sets it apart from its counterparts and even other Caribbean vacation villas on the Turks and Caicos Islands.

First off, the bedroom pavilions have slightly larger bathrooms plus dressing areas. In addition to this, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen as well, and even the inclusion of private staff ready to do their jobs and obey commands given by the guests.

Lastly, there are a variety of watersports vacationists may participate in, tennis courts for friendly competition amongst vacationers, and a variety of other amenities to keep everyone entertained.

Shore Club – Turks & Caicos Condos

November 22nd, 2010 Filed Under: Turks and Caicos Resorts, Turks and Caicos Condos, Shore Club - Turks and Caicos

Shore Club is a luxury condominium property nestled in a private setting on the picturesque Long Bay Beach of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands. Architecturally designed in the traditional Barbadian-style, this project features a village-like cluster of low-density buildings, all perfectly designed to offer unsurpassed views, unadulterated tranquility, and the ultimate in privacy. Creatively placed in a less dense and more serene area of Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club offers a limited number of suites with gracious allocations over the 820 feet of prime beachfront. The soft five-story development has been purposefully planned to integrate with the smaller sized residences and low-density developments in the surrounding area.


Features and Amenities

The Shore Club’s five buildings are reminiscent of colonial influences. Offering two and three-bedroom living and decidedly decadent penthouse accommodations, guests can choose from The Beach House, The Royal Barbadian, The Colonial House, Plantation Loft or the Governor’s Perch. Every choice offers an ideal retreat and an extraordinary escape.

The amenities include a guest reception, spa, retail boutique, ballroom, main restaurant, and interior and oceanfront pool and bar areas. With only a handful of access points, and set back from the arched shoreline of Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club ensures a quiet and private environment.

The Shore Club has been cleverly designed so that all of the recreational amenities are easily accessible wherever you are at the oceanfront resort. Designed to have a distinct club-style atmosphere, these amenities are nestled in a village- like setting off a Coco Walk, which has been purposely interweaved among the residences to create a tranquil connection to your surroundings. The amenities include a guest reception, spa, retail boutique, ballroom, main restaurant, and interior and oceanfront pool and bar areas, all of which have been strategically placed to remind you that you are only a stones-throw from the calming waters of Long Bay Beach.

Location

With a lush and indigenous landscape, spectacular sunrises and a white sandy beach, Long Bay is a truly enchanted location, making it the perfect backdrop for The Shore Club. Even more special is the fact that the luxury development is nestled quietly among a residential community unmarred by high-density commercial developments. In actuality, there are no others in sight, creating a rare and valuable investment property for generations to come.

With only a handful of access points, a quiet and private environment is ensured at The Shore Club. The development is also set back from the arched shoreline, which due to its nestled location receives very little boat traffic. Instead, you are captivated by an uninterrupted vista that seems to go on forever, and long, sweeping dunes that glide you toward the crystal blue sea, only to beckon you back to the secluded enclave. Your ownership experience can be summed up in one word: tranquility.

Long Bay Beach is the perfect place to go on an adventure. Whether you explore the nearby mangroves, enjoy a sunset horseback ride, partake in your favourite sea sport activity or simply stroll along the moonlit beach, it can all be done against the warm tropical sun and gentle sea breezes. If you wish to venture out, the Shore Club is just two miles from everything Provo has to offer as it is only a short jaunt to all of the fine dining and shopping establishments, a premier golf course and two marinas.

Windsong Resort – Turks & Caicos Condos

November 4th, 2010 Filed Under: Windsong Resort - Turks and Caicos, Turks and Caicos Resorts

Windsong Resort is a refreshing boutique resort on Providenciales featuring fifty exquisite luxury Caribbean condominiums situated on 435 feet of prime beach frontage on Grace Bay. Pristine beaches, stunning aquamarine water, and unparalleled coral reefs are the backdrop for an unforgettable Caribbean vacation in this Providenciales, resort Turks & Caicos. Experience unmatched casual elegance in your luxury beachfront condo whether you choose our Island View Room, or our grand, four bedroom penthouse suite with rooftop terrace. Allow Windsong to pamper you with a variety of delightful services during your oceanfront vacation in its Turks & Caicos accommodations.

Features and Amenities

Among the best designed Grace Bay resorts, Windsong’s gracious entries welcome you to architecturally distinctive island view rooms and studios, as well as one, two, three and four bedroom oceanfront Turks & Caicos accommodations — most with spectacular oceanfront views and over-sized window walls that pocket open on two sides to dramatically expand indoor living space. Generous balconies offer breathtaking views of Grace Bay and welcome soothing Caribbean breezes inside. British Colonial furnishings and luxury appointments offer a refined, yet relaxed feeling in these Grace Bay resort condos.

Located on Providenciales’ most beautiful coral reef, Windsong’s beach beckons guests to walk from their patios — with snorkel and mask in hand — directly to the water’s edge to explore an underwater wonderland. Guests also enjoy a dramatic waterfall bridge over the oceanfront pool while lunching on sumptuous casual fare from Jojo’s poolside café, as well as a spa and fitness center, and complimentary non-motorized watersports and bicycles. Other conveniences include a pavilion and ocean-view room for social gatherings, weddings and meetings.

Location

Situated in the Caribbean (in the British West Indies) 575 miles southeast of Miami, the Turks & Caicos Islands are comprised of eight major islands and 30 other islands and cays, bathed by waters from the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. One of the most valuable possessions of the islands, and a necessity of a wonderful Caribbean oceanfront vacation, are the pristine white sandy beaches, which in total cover 230 miles and are complemented with clear turquoise waters. The region is highly regarded for its crystal clear coral reefs and legacy of salt. In fact, Turks & Caicos has the third-largest coral reef system in the world. These reefs prevent the deep cold ocean water from entering the bay, so the temperature never gets too cold. Healthy reefs translate into lots of fish, and the clear waters make them easy to see, thus, snorkelers and divers love Turks & Caicos.

Renowned as one of the greatest scuba sites in the world for its abundance of coral reefs and marine life, the ocean waters directly in front of Windsong offer divers — from novice to experts — exciting excursions just minutes from the site. Exceptional fishing abounds in the local waters. In fact, fly or spin cast fisherman can wade the miles of flats surrounding Providenciales in search of the elusive bonefish, or hire island guides to seek out their favorite hiding spots. Blue and black marlin prowl the Atlantic beyond the “Provo Wall,” just a mile offshore — and they are not alone! Wahoo, the world’s fastest fish hit trolled bait and rigs on the surface. Schools of mahi mahi roam the weed lines awaiting your light tackle jig while grouper and snapper of all varieties cruise the deep ledges. Your Caribbean vacation is not complete without a whale watching excursion just ten miles away in the Caicos Passage, and further out in the Columbus Passage. The opportunities are almost limitless on Providenciales including para-sailing, sailboat trips, ocean kayaking and relaxing day cruises to secluded islands.

When not enjoying the bounties of the sea, golf enthusiasts can enjoy world-class golf at the nearby Provo Golf Club — ranked among the 10 best courses in the Caribbean. Casino gambling, shopping at the many quaint boutiques, and dining — from casual fare to gourmet cuisine at some of the best restaurants, add variety to your island experience. Day cruises to secluded islands and guided boat tours are also available.

Weather

The Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) enjoys year-round sunshine, low humidity as well as a prevailing easterly breeze provided by the Atlantic trade winds which keeps temperatures from becoming excessively hot.
