It’s a fresh new chapter in paradise as The Hartling Group proudly reopened The Palms Turks & Caicos on December 14, 2025.

After an impressive $18 million renovation, this iconic gem situated on world famous Grace Bay Beach is bursting with enhancements designed to elevate every moment for our cherished guests, friends, and owners. Completed by EoA, Design, RAD Architecture Inc and Hartling Construction, this resort transformation was a collaborative effort by the industry’s finest creative teams.

The Palms now features an expansive outdoor experience, complete with a stunning new pool deck, new oceanfront restaurant, and beautifully refreshed guest rooms—all crafted to deepen your connection with the spectacular surroundings and vibrant community of Turks and Caicos.

The Palms has always embodied the enchanting spirit of the Turks & Caicos Islands, where luxury seamlessly intertwines with nature’s beauty. This reimagination amplifies that essence, fusing the familiar warmth you love with inspired, reimagined spaces. Rooted in biophilic design, every corner invites you to immerse yourself in luxury—think earthy tones, organic textures, and designs that echo the rhythm of the island.

“As we approach our 20th anniversary in 2025, this renovation stands as a powerful tribute to our loyal guests and our mission to elevate their experience,” said Stan Hartling, CEO of The Hartling Group. “We’re not simply refreshing spaces—we’re setting the standard for opulence in Turks & Caicos, and this transformation takes it to new heights.”

At the heart of this transformation lies the reimagined pool deck—a true game-changer in Caribbean luxury. Picture a stunning oceanfront infinity pool glistening in the sun, a chic swim-up bar serving craft cocktails, and inviting lounge areas adorned with handcrafted textiles and artisanal accents. The ambiance is a balance of elevated relaxation—think hidden alcoves for peaceful retreats, luxurious day beds draped in soft fabrics, and glimmering rattan lanterns illuminating your evenings. With its rustic elegance and shaded dining spaces, the new deck is the ultimate haven where the Caribbean’s captivating beauty meets innovative design.

Adding to the excitement, the addition of Sí Sí—a new oceanfront Mexican-inspired restaurant set to tantalize your taste buds. With the Caribbean sea as its breathtaking backdrop, and led by the talented Executive Chef Rajasaker Ravindran, along with a renowned guest Chef and collaborator Elia Herrera, guests can expect an exhilarating blend of traditional and contemporary Mexican flavors with every dish. Signature delights will include Corn Bread Soufflé, Shrimp Coconut Ceviche, Queso Fundido, Salpicón de Pescado and Chicken Tinga, just to name a few.

The Palms’ guest rooms have received a thoughtful refresh, enhancing comfort and style with completely refurbished bathrooms, upgraded kitchen countertops, chic lighting, and fresh hues. New textiles add a modern touch, making every moment in your room feel like an extension of the island’s welcoming spirit. The Palms Turks & Caicos is reaffirming its place as a premier destination, offering both modern hospitality and a deep reverence for the natural beauty and heritage of the island.
