WELCOME ABOARD – Villa Kendara prides itself on treating our guests to a Five Star Experience. You will find hundreds of reviews online highlighting our spectacular view and setting, abundance of amenities, immaculate housekeeping, proximity to restaurants and activities and premier hosting. There are no crowds at VK, just privacy and the beauty of nature. For guests wanting to unwind and escape, VK is a haven. Follow our suggestions on what to bring, go grocery shopping once or twice and retreat to pool, sea and tropical living. For guests wanting to mingle and explore, VK is a perfect base, convenient to everything Provo has to offer during the day and peaceful and serene at night.

THE LOCALE – Nestled on a quiet cul de sac overlooking the Caribbean and Long Bay with the best panoramic view on Provo, VK is only 2 minutes off the main road and 5 minutes to the Grace Bay tourist hub with the finest supermarket, topnotch restaurants and fun activities. Our ideal location at the upper end of Long Bay is just around the corner from the upper beaches of Grace Bay and Blue Haven and Walkin Marinas. At VK, you may swim out front, snorkel the coves and mangroves, relax at the pool by day, watch stunning sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening. The pool is steps away from the guesthouse, and the water’s edge is a minute from the pool down a short natural path to our Sandbox Oasis where you can sit or lounge and enter the sea. The more adventurous may fish the shallows, rent kite boards, kayaks or paddle boards, eat at the Tiki Bar Floating Restaurant, 1 mile out, or visit La Familia de Panama Shipwreck, 3 miles out.

THE ACCOMODATION - Viva la Providenciales from our Second Story, 1 BR, Environmentally Friendly Guesthouse adjacent to Long Bay Beach. Designed by the owners as a home away from home rental, VK takes full advantage of the location (every room has a great view) and offers island living in affordable luxury for up to 3 adults or a couple with children. As you enter our enclosed property through the automatic gate, the beauty of the natural landscape will catch your eye. Park in front of the Welcome Sign and take a moment to observe the Courtyard Garden and Patio with BBQ and Storage Bench filled with snorkel gear and beach accessories, the coral stone walkway that wraps around the property and brings you to the deck and our 20’ x 4-1/2’ pool overlooking the sea with three sitting areas and pergola for shade, and the Sandbox Oasis below the pool at the water’s edge. Now it’s time to take the private, tropical lined walkway to the guesthouse. Pause to observe the view from the outdoor sitting and dining area on the balcony. Inside you’ll be greeted by an open plan living space, lots of natural sunlight, porcelain flooring, cathedral ceiling and island décor throughout.

ENVIRONMENT FIRST – TCI’s motto is “Beautiful By Nature.” Our air is pure and our water pristine. At VK, our goal is to preserve “Nature” however possible. The entire property is landscaped by nature, supplemented with indigenous plants. We irrigate with rainwater and grey water; our drinking water is seawater distilled by osmosis, no chemicals added; our saltwater pool generates its own chlorine from the sun. In addition, there are fans in every room to keep AC to a minimum and make it more efficient when required. All fixtures have LED light bulbs. Furnishings are made of natural or recycled materials. Garbage is separated and recycled at the Environmental Management Station. Finally, we conserve water and energy as much as possible and ask our guests to do the same.

MYTH BEYOND - You want to visit Provo because it's consistently rated a top vacation destination with the best beach in the world. If you're thinking the only thing to do is sit on the beach and take in the sun, then you're in for a very big surprise. Of course, you may go to a different beach every day, each one more beautiful than the next; however, you may also choose from a wide variety of activities on land, sea and in the air.
ON THE SEA - Imagine paddle boarding through the mangroves; kite boarding on Long Bay where the conditions are near perfect year-round; kayaking in small inlets around tiny cays; diving off the coral reefs and walls; snorkeling right in front of our property. Fishermen take note that the shallows off Provo are teeming with bonefish, and deep sea, bottom and bone fishing are phenomenal. Those interested in renting small motor boats and sailboats can chart their own course. If water sports are not your cup of tea, sit back, relax and put yourself in the capable hands of a tour boat captain who will take you to secluded beaches and places of interest.
ON LAND - Not into water sports or touring by boat, land lovers may enjoy horseback riding, working out or playing tennis, golfing at the championship Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club or gaming at the Casablanca Casino. Not into any of the above, then walk on the beach, bike on the secondary roads, rent a motor scooter, or pamper yourself with spa treatments.
IN THE AIR - Maybe you'd rather see Provo from above; then parasailing is for you. It's from there that you really come to appreciate the color of the water and the patterns of the reefs.

ISLAND PARTNERS - We have five island partners. Each offers our guests a 10% discount or special pricing and is tops in their field. Enjoy diving and excursions to the outer islands (exploring West Caicos, bicycling on North Caicos and spelunking on Middle Caicos), snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, kiteboarding, and for total relaxation, spa treatments, massages and wellness packages by the pool.

DINING OUT - Provo is a treasure trove of Good Value to Upscale Restaurants. Choose from American, Caribbean, French, Fusion, Indian, Italian, Jamaican, Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Tex-Mex and Thai cuisines. The dress is always casual. Reservations are required at some of the more popular restaurants. A few of them close during September to mid-October. Most have indoor/outdoor seating in inviting settings. Eat and watch the sunset overlooking Grace Bay; marvel at the color of the water and the tiny picturesque islands of Chalk Sound; mingle with the locals at out of the way hangouts, watch boats in Turtle Cove Marina; sit under the stars amidst a canopy of palm trees; admire the tropical foliage in uniquely landscaped gardens; pause for a bite at a beachfront café that is an extension of the beach itself. There is something for everyone, and the quality is first rate.
FOOD SPECIALITIES - Wherever you dine, be sure to sample the local seafood such as conch, grouper, langouste, snapper, and wahoo. Provo is best known for conch that lives in pink pearl shells and inhabits shallow areas. Try fritters, lightly breaded and fried to perfection; fingers or cracked with just the right amount of crunch; ceviche with its tangy flavor; chowder that varies from bisque to chunky; a burger savory with spices.

WHY RENT A VEHICLE - To explore the 37.5 square miles and appreciate what Provo has to offer, you must rent a car. Keep in mind that taxis and excursions that provide transportation are expensive, so a car pays for itself in no time. Also, you pick up the car at the airport and drop it off there, which is most convenient. An economy car is sufficient unless you plan on driving in the hinterlands.

THE BEST CHOICE - Provo is only 3-1/2 hours from New York and 1-1/2 hours from Miami. For privacy, security, best view, natural beauty, direct access to the water, abundance of amenities and supplies, convenience to stores, restaurants, marinas and activities, island partner discounts and the "Johnson Guide to Provo," Villa Kendara offers luxury at an affordable price with everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable. Welcome to island living and making unforgettable memories!
