This August, the Blue Sky Luxury Travels team is heading to the Turks and Caicos Islands! We can’t wait to share the best villas and resorts we experience during our stay. To kick off the discovery, we’ll be spending our first week at Ambergris Cay—an exclusive private island resort located 600 miles south of Miami and featured in this spotlight.
Originally established as a community for private homeowners, Ambergris Cay opened as a private island resort in 2019. Now, travelers seeking a secluded luxury escape can enjoy access to over 1,100-acres of mostly untouched land. With bungalows and villas for rent on an all-inclusive basis, the result is a luxury boutique hotel feel in a vast and diverse setting.
Activities:
Active travelers will welcome the opportunity to embark on numerous adventures amidst the island’s vast terrain. Navigate the winding roads, hiking trails, and coastlines by golf cart, foot or bicycle. Master a new skill with complimentary access to onshore fishing, Hobie cats, and kayaks. Get up close and personal with marine life while snorkeling. Then venture out further on a sunset cruise, deep sea fishing excursion or a private boat tour to Little Ambergris Cay.
Dining:
A la carte menu selections vary by the day, based on seasonality, and are comprised of the highest quality ingredients. From grilled lobster to organic chicken breast, international chefs will prepare local island cuisine and classic favorites to your taste. Vegan and vegetarian menus are available, and special dietary needs will be catered to with advance notice. The all-inclusive service affords guests the convenience of gourmet meals and premium cocktails in any of the island’s culinary settings, including poolside bites, deserted beach picnics, and all-day dining at Calico restaurant and bar.
Staying in a Villa:
Ambergris Cay offers 12 all-inclusive villas for rent. Each villa has its own unique draw and we would love to help choose the best villa to accommodate your group.

Three Bedroom Villas: For Families and Tennis Lovers
Poseidon Villa is just 100m from Neptune Villa, the other three bedroom villa on the private island of Ambergris Cay. Given their proximity to each other, these two villas are ideal for groups or families who are traveling together. As both homes are less than 200m from the tennis courts, they are also great options for tennis lovers.
Four Bedroom Villas: Couples, Families, or Privacy
There are eight 4-bedroom villas on Ambergris Cay with different bed configurations. For privacy, there is a villa on the southernmost point, for families, there are villas with 2 twin beds, and for couples traveling together, there are villas with all king beds and equal suites.
Six Bedroom Villa: Utmost Luxury
Dream Pavilion affords guests a secluded space to unwind, complete with access to a private beach. The villa offers six bedrooms, two swimming pools, expansive sundecks, and multiple dining areas. With dramatic ocean views as a backdrop, Dream Pavilion is architectural eye-candy for those seeking a sophisticated private island escape.
10 Bedroom Estate: The Ultimate Combination of Two Villas
Comprising both Dream Pavilion and Dream Away villas, ten bedrooms, four pools, two private beach entrances and expansive gardens and terraces, this is the highest luxury all-inclusive villa experience in Turks and Caicos Islands.
