e are thrilled to share some wonderful news: Kokomo Botanical Resort has been honoured with the Caribbean Wellness Award at the Caribbean Travel Awards 2026.
For those unfamiliar with the accolade: the Caribbean Travel Awards are hosted by Caribbean Journal, the region’s leading authority on travel and tourism. Spanning 41 categories, the awards recognise the destinations, hotels, and experiences that represent the very best of Caribbean travel — from dive destinations and cruise ports to luxury resorts and wellness retreats. They are widely regarded across global tourism markets as one of the region’s most meaningful measures of excellence in hospitality. To be named Caribbean Wellness Resort of the Year within that programme is a distinction we are enormously proud to hold.
It is a recognition that we receive with immense pride and deep humility. Wellness has never been a marketing strategy for us. It is the reason Kokomo exists. From the very first cottage to the last stone laid in our botanical gardens, every decision we have ever made has been guided by a single conviction: that the environment you inhabit has the power to heal you. To have that conviction recognised as the finest expression of wellness in the Caribbean is, quite simply, one of the proudest moments in our history.
What This Award Means to Us
When we say wellness is at the heart of everything we do, we mean it in the most literal sense. Our resort was designed according to BioGeometry principles, an architectural science that works with the natural energy of a space to support the health of those who inhabit it. This is not widely understood, and it is certainly not common in the Caribbean. We believe it is one of the reasons guests consistently tell us that something feels different at Kokomo — a quality of calm that goes beyond the beautiful surroundings.
Our botanical gardens have been growing and maturing for over two decades. The ecosystem that exists here today took twenty years of patient, intentional cultivation. It is not a backdrop. It is a living, breathing part of your wellness experience. The scents that greet you each morning, the dappled shade between the palms, the birdsong, the sense of being held by something ancient and unhurried. No two visits feel quite the same, because the gardens themselves are always changing.
These are not things that can be replicated quickly or easily, or purchased off a shelf. They are the result of a long-standing commitment to doing things properly, and this award acknowledges that.
What We Offer
At the heart of our wellness offering is Lovina Spa, where our therapists draw on authentic Balinese healing traditions to deliver treatments that genuinely restore. Whether you choose a deep-tissue botanical massage, a revitalising facial, or one of our signature full-body rituals, every treatment is designed to leave you feeling measurably better, not simply pampered.
Our Yoga Zen Zone in the open-air pavilion sits within the gardens themselves, offering daily sessions led by experienced instructors in a setting that makes practice feel effortless. Our saltwater hot plunge provides therapeutic recovery that supports both physical restoration and deep relaxation.
At WE Market Cafe, our kitchen takes an equally intentional approach to nourishment. Our West-East fusion menu draws on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, many grown within the resort itself, guided by a philosophy we call Return on Health. Food here is not simply sustenance. It is part of your wellness strategy.
Together, these experiences form what we believe to be the Caribbean’s most cohesive and genuinely health-supportive environment. The award confirms what our guests have told us for years.
Situated in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, Kokomo sits in one of the world’s most extraordinary natural settings. Providenciales was named TripAdvisor’s number one island in the world, and the pristine environment of these islands provides a natural foundation for everything we have built.
A Heartfelt Thank You
This award belongs to everyone who has made Kokomo what it is.
To our team: the therapists, the chefs, the guides, the front-of-house staff who bring our philosophy to life with warmth and expertise every single day. You are the soul of this place, and no award would be possible without you.
To our guests: thank you for trusting us with something as precious as your health and your rest. Every time you choose Kokomo, you affirm that what we are building here matters. Many of you have returned year after year, and that means more to us than any trophy.
And to everyone who has yet to experience Kokomo: we would love to welcome you. Come and feel the difference that twenty years of botanical stewardship, BioGeometry architecture, and a genuine commitment to your wellbeing can make. Come and invest in your Return on Health.
The Caribbean Travel Awards have recognised what we have always believed. Wellness is not an amenity. It is a way of life, and at Kokomo, it is the only way we know.
We look forward to sharing it with you.
