Travel News: Turks & Caicos to Welcome Boutique Hotel – Beach House
‘NO SOCKS ALLOWED’ AT NEW BEACH HOUSE TURKS AND CAICOS: DESTINATION’S FIRST BAREFOOT CHIC BOUTIQUE HOTEL GRAND OPENS OCTOBER 22
Hotel’s ‘LABORATORY’ Fare to Unveil New Era of Dining in the Caribbean
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos – What exactly is barefoot chic? It’s the fashion sensibility that guests will be urged to enjoy at Beach House Turks and Caicos, Grace Bay’s first boutique hotel grand opening October 22. No Socks Allowed signage will be found emblazoned on specialty items throughout the hotel, reminding guests to kick off their shoes, delve into Beach House living, and allow freedom from stress to ensue.
Beach House will feature 21 one- and two-bedroom suites, each at least 1,150 square feet, with interior designs that meld Caribbean with coastal New England showcasing crisp whites and hues of blue. French doors frame views of Grace Bay Beach and open to oversized patios adorned with daybeds that will entice afternoon snoozing. Suites also boast culinary nooks where private chef dinners may be enjoyed and surprise treats are placed in fridges.
A premier highlight of the hotel will be the 90-seat Beach House Restaurant helmed by Chef and Director of Culinary and Concept Development Eric Vernice. A native of France, Chef Eric’s cuisine will bring Caribbean dining to new heights as he infuses global flavors into his earth- and sea-to-table dishes. Lab coats are not required at the Beach House’s LABORATORY table. A first in the Caribbean, the LABORATORY degustation menu will lead guests down unexplored and unexpected culinary paths via eight course menus. Menus will focus on one item – think fresh lobster, a unique spice or a country – with each course more unique than the last and flawlessly paired with wines and cocktail teasers.
Director of Food and Beverage Operations JS Richer, the Beach House’s Curator of Experience and a certified Sommelier, will assist Chef Eric in creating this journey via perfect wine pairings and his master mixology skills. JS will also become known as the hotel’s magician who masterminds tasty culinary and cocktail amuse-bouches that unexpectedly appear beachside, poolside or in-suite.
Guiding guest experiences within and beyond the two-acre property will be Director of Operations Gillian Vernice. Bringing with her decades of hospitality management experience and a passion for the beauty and wonder of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Gillian is uniquely qualified to ensure a carefree stay and create memorable moments for all visitors to Beach House.
Bath amenities at Beach House have been crafted by a master chemist in his own right, perfumer Richard Howard of the UK-based Arcania Apothecary. Nine all-natural Beach House products will be featured with nutrient rich ingredients like lavender, frankincense, lemon grass, aloe vera, Jasmine and linden blossom. Arcania Apothecary will also feature spa amenities in the hotel’s poolside treatment room.
Nightly rates at Beach House Turks and Caicos are from $532 to $1,038 on weekends and holidays with special rates available during shoulder seasons.
