One of the Caribbean’s most exclusive destinations will welcome a new adventure retreat, Blue Haven Resort and Marina grand opening December 5, 2013. The Resort will house 35 suites and 16 premier guest rooms and will be the first and only resort and marina in Turks and Caicos.

Already open is the fully renovated 78-slip marina accommodating yachts up to 220 feet. An on-site customs and immigration service is available for those arriving from international waters.

Located near the world’s third largest barrier reef, Blue Haven, the “Gateway to the True Turks and Caicos Islands,” will offer a virtual adventurer’s playground. Minutes away are top scuba diving, deep sea and bone fishing spots.

Scuba diving excursions will be arranged through Big Blue Unlimited, the destination’s top eco-adventure company adjacent to Blue Haven. Divers will be able to explore the underwater marine life off of the Grace Bay reefs, Salt Cay and South and West Caicos.

Deep sea fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the bountiful waters around Turks and Caicos where Wahoo, Tuna, White and Blue Marlin thrive.

Fly-fishermen will have access to premier bone fishing in the flats south of North Caicos and the cays nearby Providenciales.

Kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking excursions will be available directly in front of Blue Haven.

Full-day tours to Long Bay and North and Middle Caicos may also be arranged.

After a day’s adventure, guests can relax in elegant accommodations and delight in amenities including a spa with four treatment rooms, complimentary 24-hour fitness center, oceanfront infinity pool with swim-up bar and a stretch of fully-serviced white sand beach dotted with cozy chaise lounges and hammocks.

Blue Haven will feature three culinary venues, including a world-class, yet laid back restaurant, the already opened Salt Bar and Grill at the marina and the marketplace.

Nightly rates at Blue Haven Resort and Marina start from 0 to ,950 depending on season of travel and type of accommodation booked.

Specialized outdoor adventure packages start at ,056 for a four night stay.
