Labelled Turks and Caicos’ Best-Kept Secret by the Caribbean Journal

Turks and Caicos is home to a wide variety of resorts, from lavish beachfront hotels to all-inclusive luxury retreats, each offering its own unique experience. Yet, amidst all these options, Kokomo Botanical Resort has remained the best-kept secret and a true hidden gem. As stated by the Caribbean Journal: “But as Turks and Caicos has surged in popularity in recent years, travellers are starting to discover that there are more and more layers to the destination — and the lodestone is starting to shift. That includes a nearly 40-room boutique hotel in the Venetian Road area of Providenciales: the Kokomo Botanical Resort, a property that just might be the best-kept secret in all of Turks and Caicos.”

Unlike the sprawling, tourist-heavy resorts, Kokomo offers an intimate and tranquil escape, nestled within lush botanical gardens that provide a sense of privacy and serenity. Our focus on wellness, personalized service, and authentic island charm sets us apart, making our resort a haven for those looking to unwind and rejuvenate away from the crowds. While many travellers flock to well-known resorts, those who discover Kokomo Botanical Resort find themselves returning time and again for our unmatched atmosphere of relaxation, exclusivity, and natural beauty.

A Sanctuary of Serenity

“The resort is set in one of the most lush locations on the island: it’s a leafy, serene garden resort, with a mix of luxury cottages in a low-density, laid-back layout. You wake up to the sound of shaking leaves and birdsong. You walk through a tree-filled trail to the waterfall pool and yoga deck, before sitting down to an exquisite Asian fusion meal.”

Our goal is to provide guests with a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and this starts with ensuring guests are comfortably checked into one of our charming cottages, each designed to offer privacy, warmth, comfort, and utmost satisfaction. Each accommodation features full kitchens, spacious living areas, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private patios with BBQ facilities. This setup is perfect for families and groups seeking a private and comfortable retreat.

Guests can wake up to the soothing sounds of nature, stroll along tree-lined paths, and unwind by our resort's free-form pool, complete with a natural limestone waterfall.

But your experience doesn’t stop there. Our luxurious amenities are designed to provide you with experiences and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else (or forget anytime soon).

Wellness is at Our Core

At Kokomo Botanical Resort, we place a big emphasis on wellness, offering a holistic approach to rejuvenation. The Lovina Spa, an authentic Balinese retreat, provides a range of treatments designed to restore balance to the body and mind. Highly skilled therapists from Bali deliver unique services, such as the "Fire and Ice" treatment, ensuring an unforgettable spa experience. In recognition of our exceptional commitment to guest wellness, Kokomo Botanical Resort was honoured as the Caribbean Wellness Resort of the Year in 2025 by the Caribbean Travel Awards!

One of our newest features is our Yoga Zen Zone, where guests can enjoy private and personal yoga sessions under a pavilion, with an abundance of local tropical plants and flowers. Whether you want to unwind in the evening or generate energy in the morning, there are various yoga practice options to meet your needs.

Culinary Delights

“It’s an impressive menu, with a slate of international fare (including some outstanding panini.) But it’s the Asian menu that really stands out. But this isn’t the textbook Asian fusion spot. It’s authentic. It’s real.”

Our world-class chefs at WE Market Cafe offer an impressive menu that combines Eastern and Western flavours. No reservations are required – grab a table under our laid-back yet modern cafe, grab quality take-out, or book a private Chef’s Table experience. While the Chef’s Table experience will require a reservation, you’ll be sure to enjoy the intimate and personalized dishes.

Exclusive Beach Access

“Kokomo has its own private beach club on Grace Bay, meaning you can take the quick hotel shuttle and arrive to your beach chairs (the ones you’ll never have to fight for), with a beach attendant ready for any request. It’s something that makes Kokomo the best of both worlds.”

Kokomo Botanical Resort offers guests exclusive access to the sought-after Alive and Well Beach Club on Grace Bay Beach, renowned for its pristine white sands and turquoise waters. We provide a complimentary shuttle service to the beach club, where guests can enjoy amenities such as stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling, beverage service, umbrellas, chairs, and towels.

“After an afternoon at the beach and the bustle of Grace Bay, it’s a delicious feeling to come back to Kokomo, hear nothing but the leaves and the birds, feel like you have the whole place to yourself and take a dip in the hot tub or the pool.”

A Hidden Gem Awaiting Discovery

“Things are just different here; the emphasis is on the vibe. It’s a resort where the wellness isn’t just on the massage table — it’s about the way the resort makes you feel.”

Despite its many offerings, Kokomo Botanical Resort remains one of Providenciales' best-kept secrets. With a combination of serene natural surroundings, dedicated wellness facilities, and exceptional service, we work hard to make our resort a standout choice for travellers seeking a unique and enriching Caribbean experience.
