INTRODUCTION
Villa Esencia is situated on Long Bay Beach, one of the best locations in the world for wingfoiling and kiteboarding, with shallow, warm waters, gentle steady winds, and a sandy beach. Tucked within 2.25 acres of untouched native landscape, Villa Esencia is a tranquil beachfront sanctuary.
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT
Villa Esencia is situated in the best location on Long Bay Beach, and caters to foilers and kiters with loaner gear, compressed air on the beach, gear storage, shaded Tiki Huts and beach umbrellas. The conditions are exceptional for all levels, from first-timers to advanced riders. The beach is never crowded, the wind is gentle and consistent, and the turquoise water is warm and welcoming. You will notice how pristine, quiet and unpopulated it is, yet only five minutes from town. The resort is built into the jungle with beautiful nature all around. All units are private and everything is first class and beautifully presented.
CONDITIONS & SETUP
The beach faces ESE and the wind is usually southeasterly so slightly cross-onshore. It ranges from 12 to 18 knots. The sea is flat with light chop at high tide although there is little effect from the tide. There are no rocks, reefs or hazards, so it is a very safe location.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The best time is throughout the year except during late August to end of September, when the winds tend to die. That said, with climate change there are more and more windows then too.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES
Villa Esencia has SUP boards, ocean kayaks and pickleball, and you can snorkel and swim. It is just five minutes from town with restaurants, shops and night life. On the island you’ll find scuba diving, deep sea fishing, sunset sailboat cruises, and many other beaches to explore.
Fly to PLS (Providenciales). We are 15 minutes from the airport.
The spot is in the lighter wind spectrum so bring larger wings. A 70cm mast is most common.
Except in winter where you might want a shorty or spring suit, the rest of the year is warm enough for boardies / bikini.
People love the fresh conch on the island.
Dine at Coco Bistro or Grace’s Cottage for romance, sip sunset cocktails at CAVE Bar, then hit Blu Bar & Lounge or Danny Buoy’s for late-night DJs and karaoke in Grace Bay.
