Indulge in a Couple’s Spa Day
Nothing lets you sink into relaxation more than a soothing massage, so naturally, it’s the first thing on our romantic activities list for your Turks and Caicos couple’s getaway! The perfect remedy for jetlag or to restore your muscles after a day of hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, or kite surfing, a couple’s massage is both intimate and revitalizing, leaving you ready to seize the day!
For luxurious treatments and exquisite surroundings, check out The Spa at The Palms Resort. Known for its serene ambiance and exceptional service, they offer two unique couples’ experiences so you can craft the perfect day of pampering. Whether you opt for the classic Couples Massage, a 60 or 90-minute Swedish treatment in their beautiful Couple’s Suite, or the Couple’s Ceremony, a side-by-side Citrus Scrub followed by a one-hour Swedish massage that ends with a glass of champagne, you’re guaranteed a blissfully romantic experience.
If you want to bring the spa directly to your Villa Esencia vacation rental, Turquoise Paradise is the place to call. Their team of professionally trained therapists brings the same five-star service you expect from luxury resorts right to your living room, or you can opt for their popular beach massages for an added layer of elevated bliss. Their massages include deep tissue, hot stone, soothing scalp, Swedish, and more. They also offer body scrubs, facials, and wraps so you can customize your dream in-home spa day.
Go Horseback Riding on the Beach in Turks and Caicos
One of the most enchanting experiences in Turks and Caicos is a horseback ride along the pristine shores, and Provo Ponies offers just that, making it a must-do for couples seeking romantic activities beyond the beach. Founded by Camille Slattery over two decades ago, Provo Ponies was started as a rescue operation for in-need horses. Today, it has grown into a safe haven for over 20 horses and donkeys from all across the islands. If you’re looking for meaningful experiences on your Turks and Caicos vacation or a way to give back to the local community, booking a ride with them helps Camille continue her mission.
The stable offers guided tours twice daily on weekdays, with a choice between group rides or more romantic private rides for couples. These tours take you through the scenic Long Bay Hills and down to the serene Long Bay Beach, known for its calm, shallow waters. The experience is tailored to all skill levels, with the Provo Ponies team ensuring each rider is matched with a suitable horse. For those looking to capture this magical experience, the instructors are more than happy to take photos, making it a cherished memory you can take home. Special requests, such as proposals or photoshoots, can also be accommodated.
Given its popularity, booking with Provo Ponies is recommended well in advance of your vacation, especially during the high season from December through August.

Reserve an In-Home Private Chef
The only thing that can make a romantic getaway in Turks and Caicos even more incredible is hiring a private chef to cook you a delicious meal right in your luxury Villa Esencia villa. Dine poolside and enjoy the warm Caribbean air as someone else handles the meal planning, preparation, and, most importantly – the clean-up. At Caicos Cuisine, Chef Jonathan brings his passion for innovation and creativity to every dish, serving up inspired creations made from the freshest island ingredients. While you’re out enjoying a beautiful day, your chef is at the store buying all the necessary items for your selected menu. By the end of your day, he’s ready at your villa!
With a diverse culinary background, Chef Jonathan can serve up everything from classic sushi to Italian-approved pizzas, though his seasonal lobster ceviche is something you should definitely try to sample. With main dishes that range from herb-crusted rack of lamb or citrus saffron seafood fettuccine to island classics like jerk chicken and surf and turf, you’re guaranteed a mouthwatering experience no matter how you customize your meal.
