"Fans of imposing Brutalist architecture would be hard-pressed to find a more formidable villa than this four-bedroom rental near Bight Reef (also known as Coral Gardens), the most popular snorkeling spot in Turks and Caicos. The beach home is a concrete masterpiece, its angular lines softened with midcentury-modern furnishings, carved wooden sculptures, and a halcyon reflecting pool. There are two bedrooms in the main house and two in the guest house—all with king-size beds and ensuite baths with freestanding tubs. Other highlights include a breakfast bar and wine fridge in the kitchen and an L-shaped swimming pool flanked by palm trees. The rate includes daily housekeeping, night security, and laundry service; a private chef, masseuse, and babysitter are available as add-ons." - Ashlea Halpern
