Wheeland Settlement by the sea
The Wheeland Settlement is a seaside area and residential town in western Providenciales. This Turks and Caicos coveted vacation haven is known for its pristine beaches, lashings of luxury and relaxed Caribbean vibe. While it's pretty out-of-the-loop in comparison to the island's main vacation hotspots, its isolation makes it special. Here, you'll find kilometers of immaculate beaches, sprawling natural wetlands and idyllic rural countryside. While recreation abounds in nearby Grace Bay Beach, a vacation rental in Wheeland Settlement provides simpler pleasures and endless seclusion – not to mention a more attractive price tag.
Wheeland Settlement's colorful creatures
Stepping out from your Wheeland Settlement vacation rental, you might head first for Malcolm's Road Beach. Boasting around 2 kilometers of soft, sugar-white sand and bathed in aquamarine water, it's among one of the most secluded and peaceful beaches on the island. If the underwater world is your thing, then a visit to Smith's Reef is a must. Perfect for snorkeling, it consists of several different reefs, all flourishing with life. Alongside colorful fish, you'll have the chance to spot creatures including green turtles, southern brown stingrays and spotted eagle rays – and, if you're lucky, docile nurse sharks, too.
Unblemished beaches at Wheeland Settlement
Because it's somewhat remote and there's a lack of public transport, a hire car is a must when you book a Wheeland Settlement vacation rental. The immediate area is really all about the beaches, and there's no shortage of space to top up your tan without being disturbed. If you want to up the pace however, you should head a few minutes east to more popular areas, such as Grace Bay Beach. There you can snorkel among coral reefs, dive into a variety of energetic water sports, play a few rounds of golf or kayak around natural marine wetlands.
