This Private Island Resort In The Caribbean Offers Five-Star Luxury And Exclusive Villas
When it comes to luxury, Ambergris Cay in the Turks and Caicos is the pinnacle of a premium all-inclusive experience. The private island resort offers villas and bungalows all across the island, with an elite list of included experiences and food around the island so that you feel pampered throughout your trip. With more than 1,100 acres for guests to explore and with only 17 villas and 10 bungalows, it is the ultimate private vacation spot to avoid crowds and enjoy some peace and solitude.
There are enough activities to keep you busy, whether it's having your own personal wellness retreat or adventuring around the island to explore its natural beauty. Since it is a private island, it does require special transportation, with airport transfers by private plane from either Howard Hamilton International Airport (PLS) or South Caicos International Airport (XCS) to the island's Ambergris Cay International Airport.
From start to finish this is a luxury experience and will come with a steep price tag, but it's worth the splurge for a dream luxury vacation. Just how expensive, you ask? The stunning beach front bungalows start at around $2,500 per night for two people, while a full villa is closer to $7,000 per night for four people. The all-inclusive experience comes with meals, drinks, and activities.
Why Ambergris Cay is the ultimate all-inclusive experience
You'll quickly see why Ambergris Cay is considered one of the most incredible all-inclusive resorts of the Caribbean when you look at how they work to provide everything you could need or want while you're on the island. The resort includes most amenities in the original price, but there are additional luxury experiences you can book at an extra cost, from whale watching to bone fishing.
Meals are included in your resort stay, and are a la carte at the restaurants on the island. The menus rotate based on what is available, and they say they can provide off menu dishes and can even have specific items available if requested ahead of your stay. The meals come paired with a long list of included wines and spirits, along with non-alcoholic options. However, if you're hoping to have luxuries such as a private dining experience or a fancy bottle of wine from the cellar, those upgrades come at an extra charge. Make sure to pack some cash because it can be crucial for your Turks And Caicos trip, especially for tipping throughout the trip.
The villas and bungalows come with an electric golf cart you can drive to help you get around the island with ease. There is a stunning fitness pavilion available to guests with ocean views so you can keep your mind set in paradise while you get hop on a peloton or lift weights. Yoga classes are offered at the yoga deck, which perfectly overlooks the tranquil coastline. Ambergris is so private that the experience can be tailored to the type of vacation you're after.
Relax by the water or explore the island
The resort offers something for everyone. For the relaxing beach vacation with peak rest and relaxation, the best activities are to go to the club house, where you can lounge by the beach, play games on the beach, and grab a meal with ocean views. Then you can schedule a spa treatment to level up your trip, relax your mind, and leave any stress from the outside world behind. You'll want to make a visit to the Hangover Floating Tiki Bar, anchored off Little Ambergris Cay, to sip a cocktail surrounded by turquoise waters.
If your type of relaxation is staying fit and active outside, Ambergris Cay has that too.

When you want to get out on the water, take out a paddleboard or kayak in the protected waters by the marina.
