40th birthday trip this weekend - feedback on itinerary..?
Planning a 40th birthday trip to Turks & Caicos for my fiancé and would LOVE feedback/suggestions from people who know the island well!
Trip is May 14–17
Group of 7 adults (3 couples + 1 single girl)
Staying at a villa in Providenciales
Vibe we’re going for:
- fun/high-energy
- luxury but not stuffy
- good drinks/music
- some chaos but still relaxing 😂
- want to feel like we experienced the island and not JUST stayed at the villa
Would love thoughts on our itinerary + any recommendations/swaps/tips!
THURSDAY
- Travel + villa check-in
- Pool/beach hang
- 7:30 PM dinner at Marine Room
- Late-night casino/drinks after
Question:
Is the Ritz casino worth it? Or is there a better late-night vibe for drinks/music/cocktails?
FRIDAY
- Explore Grace Bay starting at Lemon 2 Go
- Bop around / drink / shop / beach bars
- Planning to head back to the villa around 2 PM for pool/beach time because I’m getting the vibe Grace Bay isn’t really the type of beach where you can fully set up for the day with chair/drink/food service? Curious if I’m wrong about that.
- 8 PM dinner at Infiniti
- 10 PM bottle service at Aziza
Questions:
- Best “walk around and day drink” spots in Grace Bay?
- Any must-stop cocktail bars/lounges?
- Is Aziza worth it or overrated?
- Are there any beach clubs/beaches that have a more lively service atmosphere during the day?
SATURDAY
- Private chef breakfast at villa
- Half-day catamaran
- Private chef dinner at villa with a surprise saxophonist
Questions:
- Anything we should add to the boat day?
- Floating bars? snorkel spots? beach stops?
- Any fun late-night move after a villa dinner or should we just stay in and enjoy the house?
SUNDAY
- Fly home and attempt to recover from the damage
Would also love:
- hidden gems
- beach club recs
- best late-night food
- transportation tips
- anything you wish you knew before going
Thanks in advance 🙌
