Nikki Beach Turks & Caicos Resort, Voted #2 on the Travel Channel’s 21 Hottest Caribbean Escapes

Miami, FL, March 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- This week, Nikki Beach Resort has topped the charts and beat off some stiff competition from across the Caribbean to claim second place on one of the Travel Channel’s most coveted lists, ‘21 Hottest Caribbean Escapes’.

The program, which was first aired last week on The Travel Channel, featured some of the most desirable and ‘hottest’ escapes from across the Caribbean including high profile resorts from across The Bahamas right through to hot spots in the Southern Caribbean in Trinidad & Tobago.

Nikki Beach Hotels and Resorts are located in the most glamorous destinations around the world and offer an exclusive range of five-star amenities and services in enchanting settings. Ultra VIP services, signature Nikki Beach entertainment, and interactive events heavily influenced by Art, Music, Fashion and Film have been the hallmark of the brand since its creation.

The Travel Channel described Nikki Beach Resort in Turks and Caicos as ‘ultra luxury and exclusive’. They went on to tell viewers ‘Nikki Beach Resort in Providenciales is a gated 432-acre playground, the hotel features one-and two-bedroom suites, the signature Nikki Club and the world's first eco-friendly yacht marina. Relaxation takes on new meaning as you wade in the infinity pool or lounge on one of the surrounding opium beds’.

Jonathan Steers, General Manager at Nikki Beach Resort Turks & Caicos, is thrilled. “We are delighted to have become one of the ’21 Hottest Caribbean Escapes’ and in our first year. One of our goals is to continue to grow Providenciales as a first class luxury destination and we’re confident that accolades such as this will continue to attract the affluent traveler”. Steers went on to say, “As always, we’re open for local residents and visitors, and welcome all guests to Nikki Beach so that they can experience for themselves why the resort is one of the Caribbean’s Hottest Escapes”.

Karen Whitt, President of the Turks & Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association, comments, “The Travel Channel’s recent poll is extremely good news for our region and further proof that the Turks & Caicos Islands really do feature some of the Caribbean’s hottest escapes. It’s a true testament to the increasing desirability linked with the TCI as a holiday destination and also an encouraging indication of things to come. With over 7,000 islands and 27 countries in the Caribbean, to have two of our finest resorts ranking highly on the list, is something to be proud of. This kind of exposure is unrivalled - with 89 million subscribers to the Travel Channel, this poll puts the Turks & Caicos Islands firmly on the map.”
