Beaches® Turks & Caicos lights up Grace Bay Beach with the star-studded debut of Treasure Beach Village | News
Beaches Resorts commemorated the arrival of Treasure Beach Village on Beaches Turks and Caicos with a lively weekend of celebration that drew celebrity guests, dignitaries, global media and VIPs to the shores of Grace Bay Beach. A curated lineup of immersive events and experiences marked the debut of the $150 million all-suite expansion, bringing every corner of the resort to life and celebrating together the moments that matter most.
The weekend culminated on May 16 with the Treasure Beach Village Bash, a party full of emotion and wonder that transformed the resort into a living stage. Against the beautiful backdrop of the new village, guests arrived along the “Shellebrity” Pink Carpet, a playful nod to the blushing tones of Turks and Caicos conch shells, where Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker, Taye Diggs, Amanda Kloots, Dave and Odette Annable, Melissa Roxburgh, Chad Michael Murray, Dorinda Medley, Nico Tortorella, Sasha Pieterse, Kelly Bensimon, Bryan Greenberg, Jamie Chung, Ross Matthews, Abbey Romeo, Jesse Eisenberg and Sam Champion were among those who stepped out in style. Dignitaries were also present, including Her Excellency, Dileeni Daniel Selvaratnam, Governor of Turks and Caicos Islands, the Hon. Charles Washington Misick, Prime Minister of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Prime Minister of Jamaica, The Most Hon. Andreas Holness.
Initiated by the iconic sounds of a conch shell blower and a poem recited by students from the Provo Inter High School Choir in honor of the destination, the evening unfolded with more than 170 performers. These included a lively 50-person Junkanoo procession, acts from local Rhythmic Dance Haven, fire and tightrope walkers and a gravity-defying performance from internationally renowned group Jonglissimo.
Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Beaches Resorts, took the stage to officially welcome guests and pay tribute to Beaches Resorts’ enduring legacy and longstanding connection to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Across the village’s 15,000-square-foot swimming pool, illuminated boat installations paid tribute to the Turks and Caicos Islands’ shellfishing heritage, adding a striking visual element that celebrated local culture and tradition. As the evening progressed, team members heartily sang ‘We Are Family’ with the crowd before a spectacular fireworks display lit up the sky, visible throughout the village and out to sea.
The celebration culminated in a headlining performance by American authors, who opened with their hit ‘Best Day of My Life’. The band played a lively set and even stepped into the audience to sing among the guests, creating an energetic and memorable finale to the evening.
A weekend full of party, Caribbean style
The weekend festivities kicked off with a Regatta Golden Hour at Treasure Beach, inspired by the island’s locally coveted sailing tradition. Guests sipped branded coconut cocktails and enjoyed the sunset as Mr. Wired Up set the tone for the coming days.
The party also spread to the streets of the resort’s French Village for a vibrant Beaches Caribbean Block Party, where a vibrant mix of live music, a resort parade and locally inspired flavors – including fresh shellfish, grilled specialties and traditional seafood dishes – brought the spirit of the islands to life in an energetic, immersive environment.
Throughout the weekend, guests could also enjoy a curated dining experience at the resort’s renowned restaurants, including the new Pinta Food Hall and the new Butch’s Island Chop House, where they could sample the culinary breadth that defines the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Moments made for play and connection
In addition to the evening celebrations, a series of curated experiences captured the evolving spirit of Beaches Resorts. Guests gathered on the courts for pickleball clinics led by APP professional Megan Fudge, took part in the growing social craze of mahjong with Kari Long of Mahj on the Beach and set off on Island Routes catamaran excursions across the turquoise waters. There were also meaningful moments woven throughout, including the Sandals Foundation’s Reading Road Trip, where guests connected with local students in a shared love of learning.
At the center of it all was Treasure Beach Village, the newest addition to Beaches Turks and Caicos and a bold expression of the brand’s future. The expansion introduces 101 thoughtfully designed multi-bedroom suites, alongside enhanced new experiences, vibrant gathering spaces and immersive design that brings guests closer to the beauty and energy of the Caribbean. It marks the next chapter for Beaches, with new resorts on the horizon in the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
