The Turks and Caicos is one of the best locations in the world to kiteboard. With consistent trade winds, warm climate, shallow and turquoise waters, along with some of the Caribbean’s top rated kite schools, Long Bay beach is a top destination for kiteboarding in Turks and Caicos.

Why choose us as a Turks and Caicos kiteboarding destination?


Here are the TOP 5 REASONS why we have the perfect set-up for your next kiteboarding adventure.

1. THE WIND

Turks and Caicos kiteboarding offers unparalleled wind conditions:

  • Side-on or onshore wind
  • Average kite size is between 9 and 14 square meters all year round

Tired of getting skunked for wind? NOT HERE! With 10 months of consistent winds, Long Bay Beach boasts some of the most consistent wind in the Caribbean. 

It’s no coincidence that Long Bay beach is one of the kitesurfing hotspots in Turks and Caicos. This sport relies on water and wind, and we have the perfect combination here. With ideal conditions year-round, Turks and Caicos kiteboarding has become increasingly popular among enthusiasts of this sport.

2. THE WEATHER

The Turks and Caicos Islands experience pleasant and consistent weather. It’s always summer here! The temperature varies only a small amount (less than 20 degrees F) from summer to winter months. Even during cooler winter days, it’s warm enough to wear a bathing suit and go harnessing the breeze in Turks and Caicos!

The climate and conditions for activities on, and in the water, are typically excellent throughout the year.

3. THE BAY / THE BEACH

Long Bay beach is a 3 mile stretch of beach on the southeast coast of Providenciales. The water is bright turquoise and clear. At low tide, you can walk out for nearly 2 miles, making the conditions for kiteboarding as perfect as you can get. Long Bay does not get any of the larger ocean wave swells that the northern beaches do, making it ideal for freeride and learning.

About 15 minutes away from the airport and 5 minutes from most restaurants, groceries and the world renowned Grace Bay, Long Bay is close to everything, yet away from the crowds.

To get to the beach from White Villas resort, you cross the street and access a very short path that takes you to your very own beach—or at least, that’s how it feels!

If you are indeed alone on the beach, White Villas has installed a self launching post for your convenience.

Take a short stroll on the beach if you want to take lessons or rent equipment and enjoy Turks and Caicos kiteboarding at its best!

4. THE ISLAND

The Turks and Caicos (TCI) is a small British Overseas Territory located between the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. Providenciales (Provo) is 37.5 square miles and by far the most populated, most developed and the center of Turks and Caicos tourism. The islands offer a laid back, friendly vibe.

The island is safe—it’s one of the safest islands in the Caribbean—, clean and populated with warm, welcoming people.

Finding direct flights from North American cities is pretty easy, and several airlines offer daily and weekly flights, especially during high season.

It’s also easy to get around, either by scooter, car—even though we drive on the left side of the road—, jitney (small buses or vans) or taxi.

When you’re not kiteboarding — even if kiteboarding in Turks and Caicos is an incredible experience, you’ll probably want to try other activities! — Providenciales offers tons of fun activities: jet skiing, boating, snorkelling, diving, stand up paddle (SUP), golfing, horseback riding and more…

5. OUR VILLAS

White Villas resort in Turks and Caicos offers the ideal luxury indoor-outdoor living experience! With modern, open design, large windows and doors, great ocean views, a spacious, furnished terrace, a hotel-style pool and stylish private bedrooms and baths, our villas become a comfortable, luxurious home away from home, where you can enjoy Provo, and each other’s company.

White Villas also offers all the kiteboarding amenities: storage, a place to rinse your equipment, proximity to the beach, a self launching post and even remote kitesurfing adventures with the owner’s boat.

White Villas was built for kiteboarders, by kiteboarders, so you won’t be able to find a best place for wind sports in Providenciales.
