What to Wear in
Turks & Caicos
For the woman who found Grace Bay and never looked back
Shop the Turks & Caicos EditDiscover luxury resort wear, kaftans, and vacation dresses designed for Grace Bay's consistently-ranked-world's-best beach, Providenciales beach clubs, snorkelling with the island's turtles and rays, and the kind of turquoise Caribbean water that makes every photo look like a dream. Sai Sankoh pieces are designed for women who dress with intention — available in sizes 0 through 24, shipping in 24–48 hours.
The Nawara is a Caribbean queen — yellow, green, and that striking red-black leopard. Bold enough to own Grace Bay. Certain enough not to need to prove it. The Leonora is her other mood: pink and lime green, the print a Jamaica-born London TV host wore that stopped every conversation in the room. Two prints. One island. Infinite grace.
Grace Bay Beach is consistently voted the most beautiful beach in the world. That is not marketing — the turquoise water is genuinely unlike anything most people have seen. It is a saturated, impossible blue-green that photographers cannot fully capture and guests cannot fully believe when they first arrive. You have to stand in it to understand it.
What you wear on Grace Bay matters, because everything photographs here. The turquoise water, the bone-white sand, the Caribbean light — they create a backdrop that makes bold prints even bolder and strong women even more striking. The Nawara Kaftan's Caribbean palette belongs in this water. The Leonora's pink and lime green belongs against this sand. Between the two prints you have everything Turks & Caicos deserves.
Worn by Beyoncé, Lupita Nyong'o, Gabrielle Union and women around the world who refuse to go unnoticed · Sizes 0–24 · Ships in 24–48 hours
"I wore the Nawara Kaftan on Grace Bay and the water was so perfect it looked like the kaftan and the sea were designed together. I have never felt more beautiful anywhere in my life."

Packing for Turks & Caicos
Grace Bay photographs unlike any other beach in the world. The turquoise water creates a background that makes the Nawara print's Caribbean palette look like it was designed for exactly this colour. Pack both the Nawara and Leonora Kaftans and photograph them at the water's edge at different times of day — the morning light and the afternoon gold are both extraordinary here.
Turks & Caicos has some of the world's best snorkelling and diving — the barrier reef is just offshore from Grace Bay. A kaftan in Georgette is the perfect coverup for a snorkel trip: it folds into nothing, dries fast, and looks intentional when the boat returns to the resort beach. The Nawara's bold print distracts beautifully from saltwater-flattened hair.
The Sai Sankoh Imani Hat — handcrafted by Tanzanian women artisans, 13-inch brim, available in 10 colours — pairs extraordinarily with the Nawara and Leonora Kaftans on Grace Bay. The combination of artisan-made hat, bold kaftan, and the world's most photographed beach is not just a vacation look. It is an event.
Every Sai Sankoh piece is designed to fit sizes 0 through 24. The kaftans are one-size-fits-all — which means they actually fit all.
Turks & Caicos Style Guide
Everything you need to know before you pack for Grace Bay
What should women wear in Turks & Caicos?
Turks & Caicos has a relaxed yet aspirational resort culture. Grace Bay's beach clubs — Wymara, Seven Stars, The Shore Club — have an elevated aesthetic where luxury kaftans, printed coverups, and resort dresses are the standard. For evenings at the island's restaurants and beach bars, flowing resort wear is both appropriate and admired. The Caribbean setting rewards bold, vibrant prints that complement the extraordinary turquoise water — the Nawara and Leonora prints were both designed for exactly this Caribbean palette.
Why is Grace Bay Beach famous?
Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales has been voted the world's best beach by TripAdvisor and numerous travel publications multiple times. The combination of powder-soft white sand, shallow warm water, and an extraordinary turquoise-to-deep-blue colour gradient creates a beach experience that genuinely surpasses expectation. For resort fashion photography, Grace Bay is one of the world's best backdrops — the water colour is so vivid that bold prints appear even bolder against it.
What should I pack for Turks & Caicos?
Pack for all-day beach and water activities with evening dining in mind. The Nawara Kaftan covers morning beach club arrival to afternoon snorkelling to evening cocktails. The Leonora Kaftan brings a different energy — pink and lime green against the Caribbean turquoise is a combination that photographs magnificently. Pack the Nawara Scarf as a beach accessory and a versatile styling piece. Add the Imani hat for Grace Bay's intense sun and the most photogenic beach look possible.
What are the best beaches in Turks & Caicos?
Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales is the island's crown jewel — the one that earns the world's best beach rankings. For quieter experiences, Leeward Beach to the east of Grace Bay and Long Bay on the Atlantic side offer beautiful alternatives. Malcolm's Beach on North Caicos requires a ferry but is among the most pristine in the Caribbean. For fashion photography, Grace Bay's combination of consistent turquoise water, white sand, and resort backdrop is unmatched.
What is the dress code at Turks & Caicos restaurants?
Turks & Caicos restaurants operate on smart casual to upscale casual. For Grace Bay's beach restaurants and bars, resort wear is entirely appropriate. For the island's nicer dining venues — Stelle, Coco Bistro, The Grill at Amanyara — a flowing maxi dress, kaftan in Silk Viscose, or elegant resort separates are expected and admired. The Nawara or Leonora Kaftan transitions beautifully from beach to dinner without a wardrobe change.
What colors look best in Turks & Caicos?
The turquoise and deep blue of Turks & Caicos water makes bold, vibrant prints extraordinarily photogenic. The Nawara's Caribbean yellow, green, and red-black leopard creates a striking contrast against the island's blue-green water. The Leonora's pink and lime green vibrates brilliantly against the white sand. Bold complementary colours — anything that contrasts with the turquoise — photograph dramatically here. Avoid pale pastels that wash out against the bright Caribbean light.
When is the best time to visit Turks & Caicos?
November through April is the peak season for Turks & Caicos — reliably sunny, warm, and with calmer seas ideal for snorkelling. The summer months are warm but can see occasional tropical weather. December through February is peak peak — when American and Canadian visitors escape winter and the island is most lively. For fashion, the bright Caribbean winter light is extraordinary — the Nawara and Leonora prints both look their absolute best in clear, intense midday Caribbean sunshine.
What should curvy women wear in Turks & Caicos?
Turks & Caicos is a welcoming, body-positive Caribbean destination where the beach culture celebrates every shape and size. The goddess kaftan silhouette is universally flattering on Grace Bay — it moves beautifully in the Caribbean breeze, photographs magnificently against the turquoise water, and covers the swimsuit transition from sun lounger to restaurant without requiring a wardrobe change. Sai Sankoh kaftans are one-size-fits-all with separates available up to size 24. The Nawara print draws the eye to the whole beautiful picture.
