Taylor Bay….perfect for kids, weddings and sunsets

Posted on January 13, 2020 by marta

Lazing in the shallows of stunning Taylor Bay

Taylor Bay is a shallow bay that ripples and sparkles as the out going tide forms sand bars. It’s a perfect setting for a late afternoon wedding with a few dark clouds looming as our bride and groom pose for wedding photos.

The bride and groom had eyes only for each other. Lori looked stunning in a beautiful lace, tea length dress as her handsome groom Dan looked lovingly into her eyes.

Lori and Dan throw petals into the water just as the sun sets over Turtle Rock.

Gentle waves lapping the shoreline at Taylor Bay

Kids love to play in the shallow waters of the bay.

Splashing is part of the fun for this little guy

Playtime at the edge of the water in the late afternoon.

Just sitting and enjoying the soft sand and clear shallow waters.

Tides out leaving behind an upside down jelly.

Walking out for a long ways before it gets deeper.

The tide comes rippling in as the sun shines on the water creating patterns of light.

You can see how far out the people are and still in less than waist deep water.

Taylor Bay sunsets are simply the best

Turks and Caicos Wedding at Harbour Club Villas

Posted on September 30, 2015 by marta

A one-of-a-kind estate with individual villas that are ideal for that special wedding.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR……..at Harbour Club Villas and Marina.

Harbour Club Villas and Marina is a one-of-a-kind estate with individual villas available for rent for that special wedding occasion.

IMAGINE THIS ENTIRE BOUTIQUE COTTAGE ESTATE…ALL TO YOURSELVES.

Bring your family. Bring the kids. Bring your friends.
Have a family reunion, a wedding celebration, that special anniversary or birthday getaway, a yoga retreat, grab a group of scuba dive buddies, go for some fishing or spend some downtime just looking to rest and relax away from the typical and often crowded beach resorts.

Six individual cottages that are just perfect for a small family group…….. from 12 to 24 persons.

Our small, island hideaway has a special appeal to small groups looking for that perfect resort.

A beautiful bride and her bridesmaids pose for photographs at the villas.

We have six, identical units in a boutique, resort style setting, surrounded by tropical gardens, gazebo and pool. Villas are located between two waterfronts on Provo’s more tranquil south shore and can accommodate from 12 guests up to groups of 24.
The entire estate can be booked for your exclusive use and enjoyment. Imagine that perfect wedding day.

We can help you make all the arrangements from the minister, your bridal bouquet and flower arrangements, photographer, cake maker, reception, caterers, selection of beach for the ceremony, pre wedding cruises or anything else you would like to make your special day memorable.

Wedding photographs at the marina lookout at Harbour Club Villas.

Local island stonework and the walkways at Harbour Club Villas make for that special photo opportunity.

Such a beautiful bride poses for a moment in front of her villa at Harbour Club.

Such a glorious choice of locations for those wedding photos.

The bride and groom have a moment of joy and exhilaration on the beach.

There are so many perfect beaches for the bride and groom to choose from: Grace Bay by Sibonne and the Bay Bistro is a favorite. Then there is gorgeous Leeward Beach, Sapodilla, Taylor Bay, Malcolm Roads Beach and others where the sand is soft and the sea is tinged with pinks and oranges as the sun sets into the ocean.

Leeward beach in all its’ perfection seems to lure many wedding couples.

The beach at Sibonne is fantastic especially if the bridal party wants an island reception on the beach at the Bay Bistro restaurant.

Malcolm Roads Beach is a little removed from the norm but it is perhaps the most spectacular.

Champagne as the sun sets on Taylor Bay.

Such a gorgeous bridal bouquet of orange roses …… Turtle Rock on the horizon of Taylor Bay.

Time to party Newfie style complete with screech!!

Our small, island hideaway has a special appeal to small groups looking for that perfect resort for a wedding, a family reunion or get together or any other function.

We offer relaxation and enjoyment in a lush tropical setting that appears to be “off the beaten path” but that is, in reality, a close 5-15 minute drive to shopping, restaurants and most of the places our visitors would want to see and explore.

Please call me, Marta, and together we can plan your perfect island beach wedding.

Sunset Beach Wedding

Posted on May 19, 2011 by marta

Our bride and groom, Tam and Derek were married yesterday at a beach wedding ceremony out at Leeward beach.

Our bride and groom, Tam and Derek meet each other outside their villa. They were married yesterday at a sunset wedding ceremony out at Leeward beach.

A beautiful wedding day, sunny blue skies and the seas were gentle and calm as Tam and Derek exchanged their “I Do’s” on Pelican Beach at Leeward. Tam and Derek pose for wedding photographs in the grounds of Harbour Club Villas.

The happy smiling couple pose for wedding photos amongst the greenery and flowers at Harbour Club

Tam was stunning in her satin bridal gown, a veil draped around her shoulders and a bouquet of purple and orange bouganvillea. Derek was handsome and dashing in his suit and orange tie to match his boutonnier ……… and see below!!

Yup............Derek had striped brown, orange and fushia socks to match the wedding flowers

A moment to cherish as the bride and groom exchange vows as the sun slowly slipped into the ocean

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Heric on a beautiful life together!

The pink and golden rays of the setting sun made for an awesome photo of the bride and groom.

We did it!! Smiles of love and happiness as the last orange pastel glow of the sun spreads across the evening skies.

Xin chúc mừng 2 bạn! Congratulations on your marriage!

Love those socks Derek...........we wish you all the happiness in the world and a long life of love and laughter together.

Derek and Tam will enjoy another honeymoon week of fun in the sun and lots of diving. They will be diving with Flamingo Divers and are looking forward to hopefully seeing a whale shark. More on that in a future post.

Congratulations to you both!

Taylor Bay Sunday

Posted on November 16, 2010 by marta

Barry enjoying a beer.........look at how clear the water was on Sunday.

On clear and calm days, it’s hard to get any work done around the villas. One look at the ocean from the hill and you just have to put everything aside, pack a lunch and lots of drinks and soak in the beauty of the day. The boat skims over the shallow waters of the ocean on the south side of Provo and sometimes it’s so clear that you can see right to the bottom.

Malaika is quite independant now as she strolls along the water's edge at Taylor Bay wearing her water wings.

I spent ages trying to capture a starfish with the foamy edge of a wave coming to shore. Tough to do as my little camera has a slow shutter and I missed many shots!

Wading back to the boat and time to head home.

A sunset beach wedding was about to take place as we slowly motored out of Taylor Bay

A beautiful archway of flowers was set up on the beach for a sunset island wedding. We met the groom as he slowly made his way down the beach to greet his guests. The bride wasn’t seen until we started pulling out of the bay to head for home.

Providenciales and the Turks and Caicos Islands have the most wonderful beaches for those wanting an exotic island beach wedding.

Contact me if you are planning a wedding or family occasion.

Beach Weddings in the Turks and Caicos Islands

Posted on August 13, 2010 by marta

The other day a white, airy wedding canopy was erected and readied for a sunset beach wedding. A hobie cat was sailing by almost on the horizon as I took this photo.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are some of the favourite destinations for that romantic island beach wedding. Our villas have provided accommodation for many wedding groups and couples, honeymooners too. Give us a call or send us an email and we’ll help make all the arrangements for you. See you on Provo for that dream wedding on the beach. Check out our website at http://www.cloudnine.tc .

Leeward Beach Wedding

Posted on January 11, 2010 by marta

Faith wore a beautiful elegant gown as she posed in the gardens by the pool at Harbour Club Villas.

Yesterday was an anxious day as we all prayed for NO RAIN …….. one minute the wind was blowing strongly, dark clouds and thankfully just a sprinkling of rain. Faith and I even drove out to the beach at Leeward to see what it was like. As soon as we saw that brilliant turquoise coloured ocean which was made all the more intense by the cloudy skies, Faith knew the ceremony was going to be at the right beach.

Dan, the groom didn't seem too nervous........I don't know what Barry was pouring into his drink!!

Dan and Faith are all smiles as they exchanged vows on Leeward beach.

The beach was deserted, the clouds threatened rain and made those turquoise ocean colours much more intense. The waves crashed onto the beach with white foaming fury. I don’t think it gets any better than this for an ideal wedding location.

Yeah.........We did it and here we are married at long last!

Just married!

Faith’s beautiful bouquet of yellow calla lilies added a splash of sunshine. As soon as we saw the fresh flowers that Louise had brought in to the flower shop at the IGA, those yellow lilies stood out. Put together with a white orchid spray, it made for a simple but lovely bridal bouquet.

The bride and groom stand surrounded by the foaming waves at Leeward beach

Congratulations to Faith and Dan.

Half Moon Bay

Posted on October 4, 2009 by marta

Two pelicans were on the sand bar in Leeward Channel as we motored past.

We were invited out on a friend’s boat but this time on the north side. It was the first time in quite a while and an opportunity to see the huge changes……….empty docks at Leeward Marina, Nikki Beach resort (recently closed) from the water, the remnants of Star Island and the build up of sand at Emerald Point. We were lucky to see two pelicans on the sand bar on our way through the channel and then on to Half Moon Bay.

Local boats were out in full force as the Minx pulled in and thunderclouds rolled in.

Half Moon Bay is a heavenly spot with its distinctive out cropping of rocks with tall Silver Palms. It’s a favourite place to sail to for weddings and fun gatherings for locals and visitors alike. I spotted a couple of Caicos Sloops out for a sail and the Beluga anchored off the beach as they snorkeled with JoJo the dolphin. I missed seeing JoJo but some of our friends saw him. The Minx was there too and even the dogs had fun today.

Silver Palms on top of the rocks made for a great photo taken from the water.

As the clouds rolled in, we heard thunder and saw lightning………..rain too. The Minx and Beluga sailed off before the rain but we stayed and sure enough it cleared off a little.

It was so beautiful in this spot amongst the rocks.

This is a great spot for a barbeque, lots of swimming and snorkeling too.

This is a great place for a barbeque, lots of swimming and snorkeling too.

You can see why this is such a favourite beach to sail to.

If you’re looking to have a wedding here in the Turks and Caicos Islands, keep this jewel of a beach in mind. There are boat charters that can sail right up to the beach for a special wedding ceremony.

We had such a lovely day and hope that you too will be able to enjoy Half Moon Bay and beach on your visit to Providenciales.

Island Coffee

Posted on August 24, 2009 by marta

The best coffee on island is roasted here on Provo by Vicki

The best coffee on island is roasted here on Provo by Victoria

Providenciales has it’s own coffee lady who roasts the coffee beans into delicious blends that are savoured throughout the islands. We met Victoria Turner when we first came to Provo about ten years ago and at the time a delicious, good cup of freshly roasted coffee was hard to come by.

Vicki pours the green coffee beans into the roaster

Victoria started her company Turks and Caicos Coffee Roasters and came to me asking for a photo she could use for her speciality coffee bags. A beautiful beach, turquoise water, blue skies photo was chosen and is now her trademark for good island coffee.

Vicki checks to make sure the coffee beans are perfectly roasted

Victoria’s coffee is available in our local gift shops, Graceway IGA and many of the island resorts and restaurants carry their own special blends. It makes for a perfect gift for friends and family back home.

Tina and Sheldon gave all their wedding guests a gift of island coffee blended for this special occasion. Look for Turks and Caicos Islands roasted coffee or email me and I’ll put you in contact with Victoria.

Fresh coffee roasted right here on Provo is the only way to go!!

Wedding ceremony on the Atabeyra

Posted on July 25, 2009 by marta

The Atabeyra anchors off Little Water Cay also known as Iguana island.

This is a continuation of a previous post. The Atabeyra is a great choice for a romantic wedding at sea along with all kinds of celebrations and group events. Chris and Isa along with their families from the USA, Spain and Brazil all flew to Providenciales and stayed at Harbour Club Villas. The bride and groom selected the Atabeyra for their wedding day ceremonies. Thanks Claudio for the following stunning wedding photos!!

Isa and Chris say their "I do's" with Pastor Wayde Coleby officiating

This unusual angle creates a spectacular shot..........well done Claudio!!

Arriving back on shore, bouganvillea flowers are tossed at the wedding couple

I had given the family a bag of bouganvillea flowers for little Gabriel to throw at the wedding. Claudio, the bride’s father, captures the moment. If you too are looking to get married in the Turks and Caicos Islands, if you are looking for accommodation and/or want to sail off into the sunset on the Atabeyra, let me know and I’ll put you in touch with all the great people on island that can help you.

A day to remember……….Chris and Isa much love and CONGRATULATIONS!
