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!).

Man fights back tears after partner shares passionate kiss with stranger - before brazenly revealing plans to sleep with him
A man on Too Hot Too Handle: Spain fought back tears after his partner shared a passionate kiss with a stranger - before revealing her plans to sleep with him. The reality dating show, available on Netflix, is a spin-off from the British original, which launched in 2020. It sees ten chronic singletons head to a house on the Turks and Caicos Islands for four weeks, forbidden from kissing, sexual contact or masturbation. Money is taken out of the $100,000 eventual cash prize pot any time a rule is broken. The Spanish-language edition only launched on the streamer last week - but it has already been full of drama, steamy moments and fiery arguments. One particularly intense moment saw a male contestant on the verge of a breakdown after his partner told him her attention had strayed to someone else in the house. Fitness model Enri Sánchez and influencer Saray Marín coupled up near the start of the series and found they got on well, risking it all a couple of times to steal a kiss or cuddle. But when new man Cristhian joins the show, he chooses Saray to go on a date with him - where they share a passionate kiss. She soon approaches Enri for a chat about how her feelings have changed after it. As Saray walks over to the group he is sat with, the other contestants say warily, 'She's coming', before she asks him: 'Can we talk?' One of the lads encourages him, 'Chin up', before Enri says in his confessional: 'I want to talk to her and have her tell me everything.' When the pair sit down on a sofa, Enri says, 'My heart's beating so fast', to which Saray replies gently: 'Calm down, relax.' He looks visibly nervous, unable to meet her eyes and with closed off body language, as she opens: 'Right, this is hard, huh?' She puts a tentative hand on his arm as he replies, 'Just be truthful, be honest with me', which she agrees she is going to do. In a brutal confession, which leaves Enri shocked, Saray explains: 'We spent the whole day together. I was laughing the whole time. We had an amazing time. 'He kissed me. And I kissed him.' Enri asks if she likes Cristhian and she says she does, before he responds uncertainly: 'I don't know. It's not like you cheated because we don't have that kind of thing.' She replies firmly, 'That's right, we don't', as he continues: 'But this is complicated. I feel really betrayed, to be honest.' Saray is taken aback by this, going from stroking his arm to comfort him, to saying incredulously: 'Seriously?' In a confessional shot, Enri admits: 'I feel like a complete loser. I've been talking her up all afternoon and now I find this out.' As the camera flips back to their conversation, Saray confesses: 'I can understand that you feel bad - but not betrayed.' To put the shoe on the other foot, he asks: 'If it was me on the date, do you think I would have done anything?' She admits she thinks he would have - a characterisation of him he objects to: 'Right, if you think I'm like that...' Enri then asks her bluntly if she is dumping him to date Cristhian instead - to which Saray replies she would like to get to know the new boy. In her own confessional, single-minded Saray says: 'That's what I want, so that's what I'll do.' Meanwhile, Enri still struggles to understand her thinking in the moment: 'I understand that this guy went all in but honestly, I wanted you to have fun but not for you guys to kiss.' Saray replies: 'I swear, I really thought you wouldn't care.' He fires back: 'Listen, I swear, I've been having feelings for you. You're my support system here.' She asks him if he is serious, admitting in her confessional: 'I think he's saying things that, considering the short time we've been here, are a bit much. 'And he tells me that he feels very comfortable with me and that he's really into me. But overall, I've noticed that his actions don't reflect his feelings at all.' She then makes her real bombshell admission about Cristhian to Enri: 'There's something else. We decided that we want to share a bed tonight' Saray explains her position to him: 'The problem is I don't really know what you're like, you know? I see some things in you that don't add up. 'And there are times when I don't really get you.' She then makes her real bombshell admission about Cristhian to Enri: 'There's something else. We decided that we want to share a bed tonight.' This is too much for Enri, who explains in a confessional: 'Look, right now, I want to leave. 'If Saray ends up sharing a bed with Cristhian, I don't think we can fix this.' In the moment, he says: 'I don't feel like crying but I feel weird.' But it seems some tears do soon start to fall, as he wipes his eyes and turns away from Saray, who looks sombre to say the least. It comes after some sexually charged moments on another reality dating show saw viewers draw comparisons to the famously racy Too Hot To Handle. The current series of Love Island UK (pictured), which started on June 9, has been one of the most dramatic series of the ITV2 programme in recent memory The current series of Love Island UK, which started on June 9, has been one of the most dramatic series of the ITV2 programme in recent memory. And a recent toe-curling chat between Islanders Dejon, Toni and Yasmin left fans cringing, as talk in the villa once again turned to a threesome. While the show is known for its steamy moments, this exchange proved too much for some fans, who admitted they were 'uncomfortable' about the chat. Despite the fact that Dejon's partner Meg Moore had already been left upset by Yasmin and Toni's previous threesome chat, the conversation returned to the topic in Wednesday's episode. Toni made a jaw-dropping confession about enjoying a threesome with a 'p**n star and an NFL player'. It led Dejon to say: 'You know what really gets me going? It's simple but kissing, that really gets me going. 'I love talking, you know when someone's talking dirty to me, I love that.' Yasmin admitted: 'It comes out in the heat of the moment. You're in the right place my friend, this is a safe space!', leading Dejon to declare he 'just loved sex'. She cheekily added: 'You are good-looking! We were already in your head honey!' - before Dejon admitted he needed to leave the conversation. It left some fans feeling weird, writing comments on social media including: 'This conversation between Toni, Yasmin and Dejon is making me extremely uncomfortable;' 'Yasmin, Toni and Dejon are unreal. I can't believe my ears;' 'Omg I can't do this Dejon x Toni x Tasmin convo. How did I used to watch Love Island season two/three with a straight face at like the age of ten?;' 'Toni and Yasmin are on the wrong show. They need to go on Temptation Island or Too Hot To Handle.' Threesome chats had already annoyed Meg the previous day - so she was visibly furious when she learned from Dejon that Toni and Yasmin had once again broached the topic. While Toni was quick to state there was no real chance of them having a 'f*****g threesome', Meg hit back: 'It's just a respect thing.' Toni noted the issue was something Meg needed to discuss with Dejon - but she was quick to end the chat. Yasmin noted Dejon 'hadn't done anything wrong,' and insisted he had been 'so open and so honest' during their exchange.

Why today's young stars are all borrowing supermodel Claudia Schiffer's iconic 90s style
, Elsa Hosk, and Dua Lipa are among the A-listers who have drawn style inspiration from a true Nineties catwalk icon. From blinging bikinis to retro Versace prints and sheer dresses with giant corsage hairpieces, as well as vintage Chanel, it's fair to say these looks have stood the test of time. But rather than be annoyed that her looks are being emulated, supermodel Claudia Schiffer is delighted that her fashion choices are providing such inspiration - and they have proven to be a rousing success. But who wore it best? Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner showed off her incredible figure in the same glamorous bikini Claudia Schiffer wore more than 30 years ago. The 27-year-old paid nearly $14,000 for the gem-encrusted two piece from Chanel which the now-54-year-old modeled in 1995. Captioning her Instagram post, 'No place i'd rather beeee', Kylie showed off her jaw-dropping physique while vacationing in Turks and Caicos. In an Instagram post of her own on Wednesday, Claudia revealed that she had first wowed in that very bikini for luxury brand Chanel all the way back in the mid-90s. Sharing snaps of both her younger self and Kylie sporting the look, the 54-year-old model wrote: '@KylieJenner sparkling in this stunning bikini I wore on the @Chanel Official spring '95 runway.' Kylie is far from the first of the famous Jenner/Kardashian family to lift a look from Claudia's impressive back catalog - the German has previously singled out Kylie's older sister Kim for the way she interpreted one of her looks. Elsa Hosk Fellow model Elsa Hosk paid homage to Claudia at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Swedish model, 36, arrived on the red carpet in a black bodycon gown by Mugler, which Claudia wore in 1995. Just like Claudia did in the nineties, Elsa teamed the glamorous look with pearl necklaces and flower clips in her hair. Even Claudia was impressed by Elsa's recreation of her look as she took to Instagram to praise the 'beautiful' model. Claudia wrote: 'The archival looks at @festivaldecannes just keep coming! The beautiful @hoskelsa wearing a @muglerofficial gown I wore on the Fall/Winter 1995 runway.' Elsa wrote in the comments: 'You're always the inspiration. Icon forever.' Ariana Greenblatt Also channeling Claudia during Cannes Film Festival in May was Ariana Greenblatt. The 17-year-old wore an archival Karl Lagerfeld–era Chanel corset that Claudia debuted in 1993. The chic look - which is exactly 15 years older than Ariana - paid homage to Claudia. Impressed by her ensemble, Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'Love seeing this look have a second life! @Ariana_Greenblatt looking fabulous in the corset I wore on the @ChanelOfficial Spring '93 runway' Sabrina Carpenter and Anne Hathaway Anne Hathaway looked captivating in a green Versace gown in 2023 that Claudia debuted on the runway during Milan Fashion Week just days earlier -with matching silver accessories. The actress completed the look with a pair of chrome pointed-toe heels with bows. While the dress wasn't one of Claudia's archival looks from the nineties, it certainly went down a hit with Anne and Sabrina Carpenter after they both copied the look. Sabrina rocked Claudia's Versace look with an added twist as she took to the stage during her tour in 2024. The pop star opted to turn the dress into a mini version for her performance. Claudia shared a photo of the singer on her Instagram Stories and wrote: 'Love to see this dress living so many lives! '@SabrinaCarpenter you wear it well.' Dua Lipa White hot: Dua Lipa arrived at the 2023 Met Gala in Claudia's vintage Chanel gown paired with a 225-carat diamond necklace Dua Lipa radiated the energy of a princess as she wore a vintage Chanel gown, previously modeled by Claudia, to the 2023 Met Gala. The 27-year-old was stunning in Chanel FW92 Couture, styled by Lorenzo Posocco - originally worn by Claudia in 1992. The singer's stunning tweed ballgown - designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself - was embellished with black and white detailing, and completed with tassels at the bottom. The tight bodice and puffed-out skirt emphasized her tiny waist and added to the elegant look. Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'I always love seeing these special looks live a second life @dualipa @chanelofficial.'
