Where Private Aviation Meets Island Mythology, Romance, and Glamour
Step off your private jet and into a six-star sanctuary that feels more like a resort than an airport. In Turks and Caicos, the Provo Jet Terminal redefines arrival with a design that channels the spirit of the Caribbean. This story invites design and lifestyle readers to explore how a private aviation terminal brings architectural beauty, privacy, and island soul to the nostalgia and ceremony of the travel experience.
A Legacy of Design in the Caribbean
Design has long shaped the identity of the Caribbean’s most exclusive enclaves. 
In Antigua, the Mill Reef Club (founded 1947) became a haven for the elite, with understated villas envisioned by architect Robertson Ward and supported by families like the Mellons. In the 1960s, Princess Margaret’s villa on Mustique, designed by Oliver Messel, transformed the island into a celebrity retreat. And in Antigua, Bunny Mellon’s ocean-view pavilions—created with architect H. Page Cross and designer Billy Baldwin—set a timeless standard for elegance rooted in local style. These places weren’t just homes; they helped put entire islands on the global luxury map by igniting an insatiable interest and appetite by major media/publishing in the ‘Behind the Scenes’ snapshots of the wealthy and privileged
Today, that same power of place is taking flight through the design of Provo Jet Terminal—an architectural homage to the Caribbean itself.
Provo Jet Terminal: A Caribbean Gateway Like No Other
Located in Providenciales, this private jet terminal is unlike anything in the aviation world. Designed by a local team, it blends the natural textures and airy architecture of the islands with modern luxury. Think coral stone accents, rich wood, vaulted open-beam ceilings and open-air courtyards. It feels less like a terminal and more like a chic villa.
From private lounges, a pirate-themed kids’ room, and a landscaped pet park, every feature is designed for ease, elegance, and privacy. The Provo team’s vision was clear: deliver the beauty and hospitality of the Caribbean from the moment guests arrive.
