Extended stay rates start at $127 per night; Short-term corporate rates available to TCI businesses for under $200

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands – July 1, 2009 -- Villa del Mar, a luxury boutique hotel located in the heart of Grace Bay, is celebrating its one-year anniversary with reduced rates available to Turks and Caicos businesses. The promotion includes special extended stay rates that make the property an attractive option to apartment or home leasing for temporary visitors or workers.

Beginning July 1, businesses and other entities based in Turks and Caicos or with a Turks and Caicos connection can qualify for short-term (shorter than 14 days) corporate rates beginning at less than $200 per night for a deluxe studio. Similarly discounted rates are available for one-bedroom and penthouse accommodations. For travelers requiring extended stays, the property is offering a scaling rate model consisting of significantly reduced prices for stays of 14-29 days, 30-44 days, and 44 days or longer, with the latter category coming in at $127 per night. All rooms feature kitchen facilities and on-site laundry services are available. Prices do not include tax, and extended stay rates offer reduced maid service.

The 42-room property opened a year ago and has carved out a niche with its value-based pricing combined with finely appointed, upscale accommodations. Located just footsteps from the world famous Grace Bay Beach, Villa Del Mar offers deluxe studios, one-bedroom suites with den, and breathtaking penthouse suites, all of which are available under the corporate and extended stay rate plans. The property features a spacious central courtyard, exercise pavilion, and large pool and sun deck, among other amenities.

"Travelers to Turks and Caicos – whether they are tourists or visiting us on business – are seeking value more than ever. Villa del Mar is well positioned to offer a luxury hotel experience at a price point not usually associated with Grace Bay properties of this caliber," said Gregory Greatrex, Director of Villa Del Mar. "Our extended stay rates provide a convenient and comfortable alternative to finding short term housing in Providenciales for temporary workers. And our corporate rates are a great option for those people who are visiting here for even just a few days."

Villa del Mar is conveniently located in the heart of Grace Bay, with walking distance to many of the islands' restaurants, businesses and other attractions. It offers a full service concierge desk to assist guests with activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, island hopping, golfing, island tours and other activities. The resorts features an exclusive beach service, with lounge chairs, towels, water cold packs, beach toys and bar service available to guests as they enjoy the powdery white sands and calm, aquamarine waters of Grace Bay Beach.
