The Turks and Caicos Islands are renowned worldwide for their natural beauty. In fact, we are proud to have received multiple awards for having the world's most beautiful beach, Grace Bay Beach. This is no small feat, and we are honored to be recognized.
At Wymara, we understand that our stunning environment, pristine ocean, and picturesque beaches are what continually attract new visitors to our gorgeous islands and keep our guests returning year after year to our resort and villas. We recognize our interdependence with nature and are committed to protecting our home, including our reef, which is the third-largest in the world, and our diverse marine life. Our mission is to do our part in preserving our planet, and we take this responsibility seriously.
Based on current trends, by 2050, the plastic in our oceans could weigh more than all the fish. This has many negative repercussions on our ecosystems, wildlife, and our own health. The strength and durability of plastic are the qualities that make it practical for everyday use, while at the same time being the qualities that make it devastatingly harmful once it finds its way into our oceans, where it can remain for centuries at a time. Most types of plastic are not biodegradable.
As of 2023, less than 9% of recyclable plastics are actually recycled in the USA. In an attempt to tackle the largest cause of ocean plastic pollution, we launched our sustainability program in 2021 and have committed to eliminating single-use plastic throughout our business, with the hope to inspire other businesses to do the same.
How do we define a single-use plastic? Plastic items that are intended to be used only once or for a short period of time (less than one week) before they are thrown away. This includes those that can be recycled (e.g., petroleum-based, food and beverage packaging, disposable items, and materials used for marketing use), unless we identify a legal and/or health and safety issue where single-use plastics are required.
As we evolve our understanding of sustainability and our environmental impact, we will continue to implement changes to our practices and procedures to keep striving towards our mission. We are committed to integrity and holding ourselves accountable. We ask you to please collaborate with us if you identify an area where we could make a further change to help accomplish our goals, reach out to us at: green@wymara.com
We are passionate about being part of the change, we hope that you are too.

The Spa at Wymara Resort + Villas in Turks and Caicos has launched a first-of-its-kind collaboration with on-island skincare brand The Wildflower Skincare Lab to dramatically shift its carbon footprint and cement its practical sustainability efforts.
Since December 2023, all treatments at the resort’s Spa are being delivered using vegan, sustainable and organic products developed exclusively by The Wildflower Skincare Lab for Wymara. The collaboration also extends to include reef-safe sunscreen (SPF50 and SPF30), available at the Resort’s boutique.
Each of the hair, body and beauty products within the collaboration includes extracts from flowers and plants grown in the grounds of Wymara, rich in antioxidants and botanical nutrients. In fact, some of the innovative botanicals have been registered for the first time in commercial use by Wildflower Skincare Lab.
