The Sands at Grace Bay has unveiled an entirely new website that boasts a simple and elegant design, easy to use navigation and new consumer friendly content including a variety of helpful resources for discerning first-time travelers interested in the increasingly popular Caribbean vacation destination of Providenciales, Turks & Caicos.

To coincide with the launch of the new website and to celebrate the resort’s increasing number of social media followers and engaged fans, the resort has also kicked off a #SandsSelfie social media contest that is taking place now through March 31st – where both current and past guests who post a resort “selfie” photo onto the resort’s Facebook or Instagram pages, will be entered to win a future 3-night stay in a luxurious one-bedroom Oceanview suite.

Highlights of the new Sands at Grace Bay website include a dedicated “Families” section, complete with kid-friendly dining and family favorite island attraction recommendations; a comprehensive Turks & Caicos Weddings Guide that assists couples in planning their dream destination wedding in Turks & Caicos, and features the resort’s highly affordable and customizable beach wedding ceremony packages; and an enhanced “Excursions” tab featuring a vast array of optional island excursions available to resort guests ranging from scuba diving and snorkeling trips to guided horseback riding and caving tours. The website also includes detailed resort location and accommodation information, a photo gallery, and videos.

The resort is offering travelers the chance to win a future 3-night stay in a one-bedroom oceanview suite by entering its #SandsSelfie contest. The contest encourages guests to capture and share fun and memorable selfie photos of their Turks & Caicos trip and stay at The Sands, located on world-famous Grace Bay Beach, and the steps to enter the contest are as follows: 1) guests must take a #SandsSelfie photo from the resort property, 2) post it onto the resort’s Facebook or Instagram account using the #SandsSelfie hashtag, 3) and “follow” the resort on Facebook and Instagram to receive winner notification.

The #SandsSelfie contest is happening now through March 31, 2015.

The Sands at Grace Bay still has availability during the upcoming Caribbean high-season. Travel agents receive a 10 percent commission for all bookings made.
