59-Room Andaz Turks & Caicos At Grace Bay Opening Early 2026

The much delayed Andaz Turks & Caicos is getting closer to opening…

Basics of the Andaz Turks & Caico at Grace Bay

The Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay is expected to open in early 2026. This will mark Hyatt’s first hotel in Turks & Caicos, and the first Andaz property in the Caribbean. The 5.5-acre resort will offer three restaurants and bars, a spa, a kids club, a fitness center, and more. It’ll be located directly on Grace Bay, known for offering one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in the Caribbean.

The Andaz will be comprised of 59 rooms and 74 branded residences, so at least the hotel portion of the property will be boutique.

The opening of this property has been majorly delayed. It was initially announced in 2018 with a 2021 opening, but the timeline slipped by five years, presumably due to a combination of the pandemic, plus… well, how hotel construction projects often work out. However, it’s my understanding that the hotel is now actually getting close to opening.

Beyond the above, details are limited about what we can expect from the property. With the hotel expected to open within the next year, we should learn more details soon enough.

I’m looking forward to this new Turks & Caicos property!

Turks & Caicos is absolutely beautiful, and it’s an easy getaway from the United States, given how close it is to Florida. Historically, the country hasn’t had that many points hotels, though that’s slowly starting to change.

A few years back, we saw the opening of the Ritz-Carlton Turks & Caicos. It has an amazing location on Grace Bay and the grounds of the property are beautiful, but it otherwise doesn’t feel very luxurious, and lacks personality.

So it’ll be nice to have another points property, and I look forward to learning more about the Andaz. Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I think the Andaz might just end up offering a better experience than the Ritz-Carlton, at least based on the design renderings, and also the more boutique scale of the property. Andaz really is quite an inconsistent brand.

Even beyond Grace Bay, we’re seeing some other great new options in Turks & Caicos. Earlier this year, we saw the opening of Salterra Turks & Caicos, a Marriott Luxury Collection property. This is great for those who want a bit more secluded of a trip, since South Caicos Island is a bit less crowded than the area around Providenciales. This is also where Sailrock Resort is located, which is an independent hotel affiliated with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).

There’s also a Waldorf Astoria Turks & Caicos planned for a 2028 opening, located on Dellis Cay, a nearby island that’s not as developed, which can be reached by a 25-minute boat transfer from Providenciales. That should also be a great option, especially with how the Waldorf Astoria portfolio is developing.

Bottom line

The Andaz Turks & Caicos is expected to open in early 2026, and will be located on the famous Grace Bay. The property will have just 59 hotel rooms, in addition to residences, so I like how it’s on a smaller scale than some other properties.

This should be a very nice addition to the Caribbean points hotel market. Hopefully the opening isn’t delayed too much further, and the property soon opens for reservations.

What do you make of the upcoming Andaz Turks & Caicos?
