Experience Dramatic Views from The Highest Point in Turks & Caicos Islands

In 1966 the first real estate developers arrived in Turks & Caicos Islands, The Seven Dwarfs as they are known were offered a substantial amount of land in return for developing the island of Providenciales with roadways, an airstrip, a dock and for surveying the land for future development.  A small hotel, ‘The Third Turtle Inn’, soon followed which then led to the tourism growth we are seeing today.  The Seven Dwarfs would be pleased to know that there is a boutique condominium project nearing completion, The Loren At Turtle Cove, which will serve to resurrect their beloved first hotel in Turtle Cove, where it all began.

This early infrastructure spurred settlements in several areas of the island, one of which we know as Blue Mountain, an area that the early investors were captivated by. This is easily understood when you experience the remarkable views and the dramatic, elevated, panoramic vistas of the island, the barrier reef to the north and blue on blue ocean surround coupled with the sandy beachfront and coral formations waiting for exploration.  This exclusive residential settlement is located within the very centre of the crescent shape of Providenciales and benefits from being the highest point in the country that provides and enhances the stunning views throughout the entire Blue Mountain area.  

Since those early development days, we have witnessed a resurgence in Blue Mountain specifically over the past twelve years with many new private villas, the restoration of the more established villas as well as a new luxury resort, Rock House, and several managed villa communities such as Beach Enclave North Shore, Villas At Blue Mountain, as well as M-House by Beach Enclave and The Summit, both of which are currently in development.   

In the very heart of Blue Mountain is Rock House, a dramatic cliff side resort which opened in 2022.  At Rock House, the natural beauty of Providenciales’ north coast is something that is held close and the resort works hard to protect. As a reflection of their commitment, Rock House has earned the Green Key Certification, an internationally recognized standard for sustainable tourism. Owners and guests can discover these efforts through their ongoing sustainability efforts, including a Refill, No Landfill Program with complimentary reusable water bottles and filtered water stations, elimination of single-use plastics, and a water-recycling irrigation system to conserve resources. Also, a native plant nursery supports local biodiversity, and on-site herb gardens provide fresh ingredients for the resort’s culinary offerings, reflecting a broader commitment to reducing environmental impact while enhancing the guest experience.

To the east of Rock House is fully established Beach Enclave North Shore a privately gated and managed villa community of 19 homes with an amenity set including; owner and guest services, fitness centre, tennis court, yoga pavilion, beach amenity and optional rental program.  Beach Enclave is now expanding this private community with the launch of M-House by Beach Enclave.  M-House is a vision forward, a nod to one of the first real estate developers who built Mother’s House as a gift for his mother, that epitomized Caribbean luxury. In the early real estate development years, Mother’s House became synonymous with multi-generational family vacations and A-list gatherings.  The Beach Enclave team states, “There is no better and unique combination in the Caribbean than elevated beachfront property with soaring views and beachfront living.”  M-House, the newest creation by the Beach Enclave team, fulfills this aspiration within a luxury design-driven boutique development on Providenciales’ celebrated North Shore, just east of their flagship property, Beach Enclave North Shore.

In the northwest section of Blue Mountain are the Villas At Blue Mountain, an oceanfront community of waterfront and ocean view homes with 7 homes fully completed and only 3 oceanfront home-sites remaining for those who desire a more private and serviced expression of island villa lifestyle. The Villas At Blue Mountain affords views of both the east and west points of Providenciales and the breathtaking panorama of the barrier reef and the brilliant turquoise waters beyond and it boasts the most enviable amenity to be found on any tropical island, their own secluded beachfront grotto.  These new homes are built and managed by the award-winning Hartling Group.

On Providenciales we connect two worlds; we have retained age-old Caribbean charm and attitudes, and we have embraced new development. Within a framework of national pride in our ‘Beautiful by Nature’ islands, we have an unspoiled country where we can accommodate visitors and residents from around the world.  Our united communities and quaint atmosphere add to the island’s appeal. Spending time with family and friends and enjoying downtime are two of the biggest perks of island lifestyle, but the incredible views, beaches, and sunshine are certainly high on the list of benefits for living and experiencing your best life.
