Need a reset? Traveling to the Caribbean could be just what you need to recharge and get ready for the upcoming holiday season. Whether you’re an empty nester who recently sent your kid off to college or entering your retirement era, the shoulder season is the perfect time for Gen Xers (travelers ages 46-60) to unwind and what better place to do that than Turks and Caicos?
When we asked top travel advisors for their go-to accommodations on the stunning Caribbean island, Wymara Resort was repeatedly highlighted—and it’s easy to see why.
Set along Grace Bay, which is often recognized as one of the world’s most gorgeous beaches—the resort delivers an elevated, luxurious getaway without feeling overly pretentious.
“Wymara really appeals to well-travelled guests who know what they like,” says Josh Peacock, a travel advisor at Scott Dunn. “They want great service, fantastic food and somewhere beautiful to relax, but without too much fuss or formality. Wymara gets that balance just right. It’s contemporary and stylish, but also very relaxed.”
Jeanne Burke of Direct Travel, a Virtuoso member agency, agrees.
“Wymara is a hip and happening resort in Provo with a great pool and plenty of wonderful dining options,” she says. “While I normally recommend it to a younger clientele, I have also had baby boomers enjoy their stay there. It is also a great resort for multi-gen travel, especially if the grandchildren are teenagers.”
As a Gen-X parent who recently visited the property with my husband and two teenagers, I can confirm its outstanding reputation. For starters, the accommodations were perfect for our family of four.

Luxurious Accommodations

The interior decor combined a serene palette of cream and natural earth tones, subtly accented by oceanic blues that echoed the gentle waves just outside our private balcony. What’s more, it offered ample room for everyone to relax comfortably, making it an ideal layout for families traveling with children.
Additionally, the layout included a spacious open-concept living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, two full bathrooms, and an in-unit washer/dryer—an invaluable perk when vacationing with family. To ensure extra privacy, the second bedroom was accessible via a separate entry foyer, making it a thoughtful setup for multi-generational groups or families traveling together like mine.
“It’s contemporary and stylish, but also very relaxed,” says Peacock.
My favorite spot in the suite? The balcony, of course. Watching the waves cascade against the shore never gets old. I always marvel at the magic and undeniable beauty of nature every chance I get.
Peacock adds, “The balconies are also very comfortable and thoughtfully equipped, which makes a difference when you’re staying for a week or longer.”

Lavish Private Villas

These private retreats are fully equipped with amenities designed to create a serene sanctuary, including butler service and an integrated SONOS sound system for seamless music playback throughout the property. The latter feature is perfect for entertaining and getting the party started with larger groups.
Several of the accommodations feature truly standout elements. As Peacock highlights, “The four-bedroom Amuse Villa even has its own waterslide into the ocean, which is pretty special.”

Compact, Walkable Grounds
Courtesy of Wymara Resort + VillasWith 97 rooms and suites, the resort’s size is perfect for Gen-X travelers who prefer to avoid massive, sprawling properties where getting around requires golf carts or buggies. Everything is conveniently within walking distance, making trips between the onsite restaurants and the beach quick and effortless.
“With fewer than 100 rooms, it has a lovely personal feel,” Peacock says. “One of the nicest things about Wymara is that it feels very relaxed, but the service and attention to detail are excellent. You can spend your days doing very little on the beach, or enjoy the spa, watersports and everything else the resort has to offer. There’s a really nice atmosphere throughout the property, and although it’s a luxury resort, it never feels overly formal.”

Pool Perks

Located just steps away from the rooms and suites, it eliminates the need for long walks to enjoy a day poolside. I found this incredibly convenient, especially for guests who may have mobility issues.
Spa Amenities
Courtesy of AuthorWhat’s a relaxing vacation without indulging in a spa treatment? I made sure to carve out some time for pampering with a deep tissue massage. Incredibly soothing and relaxing, I fell into a slight slumber as the massage therapist’s hands gently released the tension from my body. In addition to the body treatments like facials and massages, there’s also a nail salon for those who need a quick polish or fresh manicure.
Exquisite Dining Options
Courtesy of Wymara Resort + VillasIf exceptional dining is a top priority, this resort answers the call. With three distinct restaurants: Indigo, Blue Water Bistro, and Pink Bar, guests can satisfy their culinary cravings with a variety of palate-pleasing options. My family and I dined at all the restaurants and left happy each time. Don’t miss the coconut curry shrimp dish at Blue Water Bistro.
Plus, daily breakfast is included in the stay. Guests can start their day with a hearty American breakfast buffet that boasts a variety of menu options including, made-to-order waffles, omelettes, and more.
Peacock adds, “For me, the dining is one of the biggest reasons to choose Wymara,” says. “There are some fantastic restaurants in Turks and Caicos, but what’s particularly impressive is the variety you have within the resort. Indigo feels like somewhere you would happily go out for dinner in London or New York, with really good food and a lively atmosphere. Then you’ve got more relaxed beachfront dining at Blue Water Bistro and cocktails at Pink Bar. The weekly beach BBQs are a real highlight. There’s something quite special about enjoying great food and music right on Grace Bay Beach.”
Why it Appeals to Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers
Wymara seamlessly combines upscale luxury with effortless comfort, making it an ideal choice for a rejuvenating escape. Beyond its calm and peaceful environment, guests can enjoy world-class dining right on-site and an exceptionally easy-to-navigate property. Plus, it’s just steps from one of the most celebrated beaches in the world. Wymara is a win-win.
