New Oceanfront Dining Concept Embodies Turks & Caicos As Hot Dining Destination
Turks and Caicos is a trendy spot to enjoy gorgeous blue waters and incredible beaches. But aside from appreciating the marine life and natural beauty, this island has increasingly become a hot culinary destination. Wymara Resort + Villas has long been one of the most popular destinations in Turks and Caicos, with an award-winning dining program to match – but with their newly introduced Land + Sea oceanfront restaurant concept within the intimate Wymara Villas + Beach Club, they have kicked things up a notch. Chef Andrew Mirosch, Director of Culinary and Executive Chef, of Wymara Resort + Villas. The resort's two previously existing restaurants, Blue Water Bistro and Indigo, both currently top Tripadvisor's list of Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Turks and Caicos, so this new spot had some big shoes to fill. 'At Wymara, we've always believed that food is one of the most powerful ways to connect people to a place and its culture," said Chef Andrew Mirosch, Director of Culinary and Executive Chef of Wymara Resort + Villas in an email interview. "While our main resort on Grace Bay is already home to two of the island's top-rated restaurants (Indigo and Blue Water Bistro), we felt there was still something special to be created at our Wymara Villas + Beach Club location," said Mirosch, who saw Land + Sea as an opportunity to bring that philosophy to life in a setting unlike any other, right along the water's edge at Sunset Cove Beach. Mirosch wanted to bring the spirit of the villas to life through food, atmosphere, and an authentic connection to the sea. "The vision was to create a dining destination that feels as rooted in its surroundings as the ingredients we serve. It's inspired by this breathtaking location and shaped by our passion for fresh, responsibly sourced cuisine, showcasing everything from pristine, line-caught seafood and island-grown produce to premium cuts from New Zealand, Australia, and beyond," said Mirosch. Every element of the Land + Sea experience, from the open-air design to the plate presentation, is designed to reflect the natural beauty and rhythm of island life. "We've created a place where guests can truly slow down and engage all of their senses. Whether it's a long, leisurely lunch overlooking the water or an alfresco dinner under the stars, we want every moment to feel transportive," said Mirosch. "Land + Sea isn't just a restaurant; it's the culmination of everything we love about Turks & Caicos: bold flavors, extraordinary ingredients, warm island hospitality, and a setting that invites you to pause, savor, and stay awhile," said Mirosch. Land + Sea at Wymara Resort + Villas Land + Sea is the only standalone restaurant at Wymara Villas + Beach Club, which is located just seven minutes drive from the main Wymara Resort on Grace Bay. "It was designed as a destination in its own right, anchored by the beauty of Sunset Cove Beach and the distinctive personality of the villas," said Mirosch. The menu at Land + Sea offers dishes not found at the other Wymara dining concepts. "To start, we welcome guests with a complimentary bite: housemade pork belly maple-chipotle sausage served with our house chili sauce, alongside freshly baked bread with chilled smoked brisket butter, beef jus, and hummus. It's unexpected, indulgent, and sets the tone for what's to come," said Mirosch, who has also introduced expanded raw bar offerings, including seafood towers and spins on traditional oysters, and completely new cocktail and zero-proof offerings specific to this concept.' "We blend the vibrant flavors of the Turks and Caicos Islands with techniques and ingredients inspired by my Australian roots," said Mirosch, who is a strong advocate for working with local farmers and fishermen. "We prioritize regionally grown produce and line-caught, net-free seafood to ensure every dish reflects our dedication to sustainability and the freshest seasonal ingredients. All of our fish is fresh, never frozen, and our steaks are aged in-house for 5 to 12 weeks to deliver the best possible flavor," said Mirosch. Premium beef from Australia and New Zealand is a hallmark of the menu. What makes dining at Wymara so special is the variety, according to Mirosch, as well as attention to detail and overall sense of place. "Guests can enjoy something completely different at each restaurant without ever getting bored," said Mirosch, who promised though for fans of the resort's other dining concepts, they carry over certain guest favorites with a new twist. For example: "If you enjoy Indigo's housemade, hormone-free Steamed Chicken and Scallion Dumplings with sesame chili plum sauce, you'll want to try Land + Sea's version, made with ginger and served with a Vietnamese nuoc cham dipping sauce. You'll also find a version of our White Seafood Chowder at both restaurants, each with its own personality.' The hot and cold seafood tower at Land + Sea. Some signature dish highlights at Land + Sea include the Hot & Cold Seafood Tower, which includes oysters, steamed blue crabs, snow crab claws, steamed ship, tuna ceviche, fried grouper and coconut tiger prawns, as well as panko-crusted calamari, mussels in white wine and garlic (served with Chef Andrew's own cocktail & tartare sauce, and seasonal fruits.). Other signature dishes include the Char-Grilled Blackened Grouper with shrimp and pineapple fried rice, grilled asparagus, and lemon caper butter and the 14 oz 'Ocean' New Zealand Black Angus New York Cut Striploin marinated in pineapple juice, soy, garlic and ginger (featuring an ultra premium cut of Black Angus beef grown on marine grasses in southern island of New Zealand – not too shabby for a relaxing dinner on the beach!).

Kylie Jenner nearly spills out of $10K thong bikini as fans gush boyfriend Timothée Chalamet 'won at life'
Kylie Jenner put on a jaw-dropping display while vacationing in Turks and Caicos. The lipkit mogul, 27, sent temperatures soaring on Saturday as she shared sizzling snaps posing in a rhinestone-covered nearly $10,000 Chanel thong bikini to her Instagram. The tiny red bikini barely contained the reality TV star's ample cleavage as she posed on a pool lounger. One captivating image featured the mother-of-two — who recently sparked plastic surgery rumors — straddling the chair, casting a sultry look towards the camera. In the comments of her post fans gushed about how her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, 29, 'won at life.' 'The man is living his best life,' someone else added. 'Timothy can't fight all of us,' another one joked. Another fan shared a meme featuring the Oscar-nominated actor applauding. Kylie's half sister Khloe Kardashian wrote: 'cutie!!!!' Kylie's two-piece swimsuit is from Chanel's 1995 collection. Despite its rarity, the swimsuit is available on the resale market for almost $10,000. Kylie's long dark tresses cascaded down her shoulder, and she wore a matte lipstick on her pout and a touch of blush on her cheeks. 'no place i'd rather beeee <3' Kylie captioned the snaps. Another photo showed Kylie walking up the stairs, with her thong bottoms on display, featuring the luxury brand's interlinked logo. Elsewhere on her Stories Kylie showed support for her boyfriend by sharing a photo of a 'Knicks' bracelet, in honor of his favorite basketball team. The two were recently spotted enjoying a Knicks game together. In the comments of her post fans gushed about how her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, 29, 'won at life' 'The man is living his best life,' someone else added Another called him 'lucky' 'Timothée is a G,' yet another comment read In another post from Saturday, Kylie shared photos of her kids, daughter Stormi Webster, seven, and son Aire Webster, three, whom she shares with ex, rapper Travis Scott, 34. One adorable snap showed her helping Stormi drink from a coconut on the beach, with Kylie rocking a black bikini top. Another showed the doting mom swimming with her babies. She also posted a video of them playing around in the ocean. Kylie also shared an image of her model sister Kendall Jenner, 29, in a red bikini. Later in the night, Kylie got all dressed up for dinner, wearing a sleeveless sequin dress that clung to her enviable frame. Earlier this week Kylie shared another set of bikini photos with some fans commenting about her suspiciously round butt. 'She does seem to have a very round bottom,' Los Angeles-based plastic surgeon Dr Kahn told 'It could be natural or it could be gluteal implants, it's too hard to tell. She doesn't have any scars around her butt so it appears natural.' Buttock implants, also known as gluteal implants or butt implants, are a surgical procedure used to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks using silicone implants. These implants are surgically placed into each buttock, often with an incision along the natural crease, to create a fuller, more rounded appearance. Another source told that the youngest Jenner is very careful with her bikini shoots as she likes to look 'just as good if not better' than her older sister Kim Kardashian, 44. 'There is a lot of playful competitiveness in the Kardashian/Jenner family,' the insider said. 'It's not mean, it's more inspirational. They all like to look their very best and they encourage each other. Often they workout together or trade diet secrets. They are supportive. But they really all do want to look amazing - no one wants to be the dumpy one.' Turns out their momager has encouraged them to watch their figures. 'Mom Kris always instilled in them a scene of discipline about being healthy and working out - it's always the gym before breakfast and salads for lunch,' said the source. 'So every vacation includes workouts and, of course, photo shoots.' This comes after her fans shared they thought she had become engaged to boyfriend Timothee. Her followers spotted a very telling clue when she made her red carpet debut with the actor at a photo call for 70th David di Donatello ceremony in Rome last week. On one of her ears the diva from Calabasas had on a strange Schiaparelli earring. There was a gold hand cupping her ear and on that hand was a diamond engagement ring. Fans think that may be a clue that she has a diamond engagement ring from Chalamet hidden somewhere. 'Do we think Kylie is engaged?' asked one fan on Reddit while another added, 'Bling on that gold hand has me thinking...' The earrings were mismatched. The other ear had a gold finger with a pearl at the bottom. The couple, who began dating in early 2023, put on a loved-up display as they walked hand-in-hand into the awards together. Jenner and Chalamet have not been shy about engaging in PDAs at glitzy events such as this year's Oscars ceremony and Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last month.

Pine Cay, Turks & Caicos — Hotel Review
Pine Cay doesn't rely on flashy amenities—it doesn't have to. This private island in Turks and Caicos boasts some of Earth's most extraordinary beaches, with sandbars that stretch for miles across luminous shallows, making it feel as if you're walking on water. Simple, beach-chic rooms with blonde wood finishes and screened-in porches keep Caribbean blues always in view, while each unit comes with its own private beach tiki—no loungers to fight over here. The vibe is pure digital detox: no TVs, limited cell service, and a pace that shifts with the tides. Daily guided activities introduce visitors to the island's best, both on land and under the sea, but more intrepid types can grab an island map and find their own way to its natural treasures. Depending on the season, expect flamingo sightings, mating glowworms illuminating the waters, and languid mornings in the 'aquarium,' a placid lagoon perfect for kayaking and snorkeling among rays and sea turtles. Preserved by resident homeowners and painted in ever-changing colors, Pine Cay feels less like a vacation—and more like a secret you'll never want to share.
