Ambergris Cay - A Private Island That Feels Like Your Own
Imagine landing on a private island, greeted by your personal concierge and whisked away in a golf cart to your beachfront suite. There are no crowds. No set schedules. Just turquoise waters, sugar-soft sand, and the kind of quiet that instantly slows your breathing. Welcome to Ambergris Cay, one of Turks & Caicos’ best-kept secrets and a favorite among The Hello Agency’s most discerning travelers.
This all-inclusive private island resort offers more than luxury. It’s tailored privacy, barefoot elegance, and total ease, all wrapped up in an off-the-radar destination that feels truly exclusive. Here’s what makes it such a hit with a wide range of travelers, and why we keep coming back to recommend it.
Who Ambergris Cay is Perfect For
1. Couples Looking for a Quiet Escape
Whether it's a honeymoon, anniversary, or just time away together, Ambergris Cay is intimate, peaceful, and personalized. Even though it’s family-friendly, the island often feels like a retreat just for two. The service is attentive, the vibe is relaxed, and the setting is stunning.
2. Families That Want to Truly Unplug
Families come here for the space, privacy, and thoughtful touches. Villas with multiple bedrooms, private pools, and stocked kitchens give everyone room to breathe. The all-inclusive setup makes life easy, and the island’s car-free, safe layout means kids can roam while parents unwind.
3. Milestone Celebrations and Multi-Generational Trips
If you’re planning a big birthday, anniversary, or family reunion, this island makes it feel special. You can spread out in multiple villas or share one large home. Everything from meals to activities can be customized for your group. It’s an easy way to spend quality time together without stress.
4. Active Travelers Who Also Like a Bit of Pampering
There’s plenty to do if you like to stay busy. Fishing, boating, snorkeling, paddleboarding, nature walks, and more are all included. But you can also spend the afternoon getting a massage in an open-air spa cabana and watch the sunset from your plunge pool. It’s the best of both worlds.
5. Girlfriends Who Need a Beach, a Book, and a Spa
This island is a dream for a girls’ trip where the goal is to relax and reset. Whether it’s a low-key bachelorette, a birthday getaway, or just a break from the day-to-day, there’s nothing better than mornings with coffee on the deck, spa time by the ocean, and a good book on a quiet stretch of beach. Add in sunset cocktails, private chef dinners, and yoga by the sea, and you’ve got a trip that’s both fun and restorative.
Getting to Ambergris Cay
One of the most surprising things about Ambergris Cay is how easy it is to reach for a place that feels so remote.
Your journey starts with a flight into Providenciales International Airport (PLS) in Turks & Caicos. From there, you'll be greeted by Ambergris Cay staff, who will assist with your bags and escort you to the resort’s private lounge. Once you’re checked in and refreshed, you’ll board a 20-minute flight on the resort’s private plane to Ambergris Cay. The scenic flight is included in your stay, and it's the first hint that this trip is going to be something special.
When you land on the island's private airstrip, there's no waiting in lines or terminals. You're met by your concierge, handed a chilled towel or drink, and taken by golf cart to your suite or villa. It’s smooth, welcoming, and designed to take the stress out of travel from the moment you arrive.
And yes—your return trip is just as seamless.
Accommodations That Mix Comfort with Calm
Every villa and suite is designed to make you feel at home, while still delivering elevated service and privacy. Options include:
Beachfront Pool Suites with ocean views, private plunge pools, and outdoor showers
Private Villas with 3 to 6 bedrooms, full kitchens, private pools, and expansive decks
Dream Pavilion, the most luxurious option on the island with multiple pools, indoor and outdoor living spaces, and its own beachfront
Every stay includes a personal golf cart, transfers on the resort’s private plane from Providenciales, all meals, drinks, water sports, and activities. You’ll also have access to your own concierge team, who will make sure everything runs smoothly.
What You Can Do on the Island
You can let each day unfold at your own pace on Ambergris Cay. Whether that means easing into morning yoga, heading out for friendly competition, or simply soaking up the sun, there’s plenty to choose from:
Complimentary daily yoga classes are held on the open-air yoga deck overlooking the ocean. The setting is peaceful, the classes are accessible to all levels, and it’s a perfect way to start the day.
Tennis and pickleball courts are available and beautifully maintained. Guests can book private lessons or enjoy casual matches with family and friends.
Non-motorized water sports include Hobie cat sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. Gear and guidance are included for anyone who wants to try something new or just float in peace.
Bonefishing and guided reef excursions open up some of the most untouched marine ecosystems in the Caribbean. The waters around Ambergris Cay are crystal clear and full of life.
Private boat trips can be arranged for cruising, deep-sea fishing, seasonal whale watching, or hopping over to nearby uninhabited islands like Little Ambergris Cay.
The Conch Experience is a guest favorite. You'll wade into the shallow turquoise water to learn how to find and harvest conch shells, then enjoy freshly prepared conch ceviche right on the beach. It’s both interactive and delicious, and one of those “only here” memories our clients always talk about.
The fitness pavilion offers open-air workouts, Peloton bikes, and weights, so you can move your body while still soaking up the scenery.
Hiking and biking trails let you explore the island’s 1,100 acres at your own pace. Guided nature walks are available too, and they’re a great way to spot native wildlife and learn a bit about the island’s history.
The Club House is perfect for more laid-back moments with billiards, board games, and ping-pong, plus access to Monck Beach and the resort pool.
Relaxation options include spa treatments and massages in beachfront cabanas, beach bonfires with s’mores, and even a floating tiki bar just offshore for sunset drinks with a view.
