Jai's – Duty free luxury

Turks and Caicos Islands are mostly exempt of taxes of any kind. Thus, there are plenty of duty free shops selling jewelry, fragrances, sunglasses and other similar stuff. We visited Jai’s on Regent Village, a new and upscale shopping center in Grace Bay area on Providenciales.

The big and airy shop was empty except the clerks. Maybe it was due to low season, but I cannot really fathom how they run their business to keep profitable. The amount of jewelry was pretty good, and there were both known brands and some more obscure designers. Most of the items were a bit too glitterish for my taste, but might be a perfect fit for people coming from cultures that value showing off more than we Finns do.

There was a good selection of fragrances and sunglasses, too. These were more affordable than jewelry (that was not too expensive, either), and are easier to buy — especially as gifts.
