Book this if You want a slice of South Beach style on the world's best beach, where the pool scene is as important as the ocean view.
Why People Love It
- The 7,000-square-foot mosaic infinity pool is the social heartbeat of the resort
- Modern, minimalist rooms that feel crisp and cool against the tropical heat
- Located on a quieter, wider stretch of Grace Bay than the central resorts
Quick Take: It's a place to see and be seen, so if you're looking for rustic island charm or a kid-centric playground, look elsewhere.
Reviewed by @Bumblebeesplash: I felt like absolute royalty here. From the cold towel at check-in to sipping sorbet on Grace Bay beach, every detail was perfect. My private pool was the highlight—I spent hours just floating there watching the ocean. It’s the ultimate recharge spot.

- You appreciate sleek, white-on-white minimalist aesthetics over colonial decor
- You want a sophisticated pool scene with a DJ and craft cocktails

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is Wymara Resort kid-friendly?
They are allowed, but it's not 'friendly' in the traditional sense. There's no kids' club or slides. It's very adult-centric.
How far is it from the airport?
About a 10-15 minute drive from Providenciales International Airport (PLS).
Is the beach private?
All beaches in TCI are public, but Wymara has a dedicated section with loungers and umbrellas for guests that feels very private.
Do I need a car?
Not strictly necessary if you plan to stay on the resort, but recommended if you want to explore other restaurants or beaches like Taylor Bay.
Is there a resort fee?
There isn't a daily 'resort fee' listed separately, but expect a 10% service charge and 12% government tax added to everything.
Are pets allowed?
Generally no. The main resort has a strict no-pet policy, though some private villas may have different rules.

- ✨
The 'Pink Bar' on the beach has a happy hour that is one of the best sunset spots on the island.
- ✨
You can use the amenities at the Wymara Villas (Sunset Cove) even if you are staying at the main resort—take the free shuttle.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'island pods' in the pool look cool but cost $150+ a day to actually sit in.
💡The open-plan bathrooms in some studios mean your roommate might see you shower.
💡Breakfast service can be surprisingly slow for a luxury property—go early or be patient.
💡The wind on this side of the island can pick up in the afternoon, making the beach a bit sand-blasted on rare days.
💡You are right next to 'Somewhere Café', a local favorite that offers much cheaper (and delicious) food than the resort.
