PICKLEBALL 🏓in Turks & Caicos ⛱️

Heck yeah!!! ❤️

Bedrooms: 5

Baths: 5

Max # guests: 12



This villa is a brand-new, luxury canal-front sanctuary set within the prestigious enclave of Leeward, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Modern, elegant, and impeccably curated, the villa is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living—where sunlit days drift into golden evenings beside the water, and every space feels intentionally crafted for comfort, beauty, and privacy.

The residence is brilliantly configured for multi-generational families, blended family groups, and gatherings of friends who want to share a spectacular home without sacrificing personal space. A three-bedroom main house is complemented by a fully self-contained two-bedroom guest house, creating a rare sense of flexibility and ease—perfect for families or groups travelling together, who appreciate a quieter retreat, or anyone who values a little extra room to unwind.

In the main house, the primary suite is a true showpiece, opening to serene canal views that set the tone for slow mornings and restful nights. Two additional bedrooms provide luxurious accommodations with garden outlooks: a king bedroom for understated elegance, and a king bedroom with bunks that’s ideal for families, offering both comfort and versatility without compromising on style.

The guest house offers its own refined sense of arrival, with two king bedrooms—one overlooking the pool and one oriented toward the tropical gardens—alongside a full kitchen and living room. Whether used as a private wing for extended family or a separate haven for friends, it delivers the feeling of a boutique stay within a grand private estate.

At the heart of Aqua Solis lies an extraordinary pool experience that is as visually stunning as it is enjoyable. A 30-foot shallow courtyard pool creates a resort-like centrepiece, flowing seamlessly into the main pool with a dramatic infinity edge overlooking the canal. The shallow central courtyard pool is perfect for young children to splash and play in comfort, while the connected infinity pool invites leisurely swims and sunset dips with a breathtaking waterfront backdrop.

The villa’s outdoor lifestyle is elevated to a true luxury standard. Thoughtfully appointed luxury furnishings invite you to move effortlessly between interior elegance and open-air relaxation, while a full outdoor kitchen transforms meals into memorable alfresco occasions—whether you’re hosting a long lunch, sunset cocktails, or a candlelit dinner under the stars.

Canal-front living is celebrated in every detail, from the generous private dock to the beautifully positioned fire pit and lounge seating at the water’s edge. This is where evenings are made—gathered with family and friends, warmed by the fire, and surrounded by the quiet glamour of the waterfront.

Adventure is seamlessly woven into the experience, with a large selection of kayaks and paddleboards ready for guests to explore the canals and nearby mangroves—an enchanting ecosystem alive with marine life and the beauty of a bird sanctuary. For relaxed island cruising, four cruiser bicycles are also provided, inviting you to discover Leeward & Grace Bay at your own unhurried pace.

For those who love to stay active, find a standout amenity rarely found in private villas: a dedicated pickleball court with comfortable spectator seating and floodlighting, allowing for spirited matches and evening play long after the sun dips below the horizon.

This is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination in itself: a luminous canal-front retreat where contemporary sophistication, thoughtful privacy, and unforgettable shared experiences come together in effortless Turks and Caicos style.

This is a picture of some of my amazing clients. They just returned from a 14 day Mediterranean trip. They spent a few days in Rome, followed by a fabulous cruise on Celebrity and then spent a few days in Barcelona! I booked all of their excursions outside of the cruise ship to make their trip more memorable! 🌴
This is their second trip with me. I look forward to working with them again in the future! 🛳
