Why Wymara Villas + Beach Club stands out
Ocean enclosures, often simply called ocean pools, are a distinctive feature of Australian coastal swimming. The resort's developer, who is Canadian, spent several years in Australia and fell in love with them. When he developed this oceanfront resort on Providenciales, he brought the concept to the Turks and Caicos.
We describe the pool as a rectangle about 130 feet (39.6 meters) long and 30 feet (9.1 meters) wide, without lane markings. It is 3 to 6 feet deep, and a further 2 or 3 feet deep at high tide. Its water is replenished by the ocean tides.
