Stretch out on the beach, recharge with a spa or savour the comfort of 61 luxury hotel rooms on this private island of Parrot Cay. This exclusive 405-hectare (1,000-acre) isle is a destination dedicated to relaxation, offering yoga classes, catamaran sailing and snorkelling around its adjacent coral reef. This is a fantastic place to escape the urban rush and enjoy some indulgences.
The island was once known as Pirate Cay, due to a legend that the famed rogue Anne Bonny used it as a hideout in the 18th century. It was renamed to encourage more visitors.
Book your spot at the resort and choose from a range of room options, including ocean facing bungalows, beach houses and villas. Release the tensions of everyday life with a day at the spa, enjoying massages, body wraps and facials. Yoga and Pilates classes are held on the beach each morning.
Delightful meals are served by each of the resort’s three restaurants, which specialise in fresh seafood and local cuisine. For a gourmand experience, taste seared west Caicos snapper at Lotus, an Asian-themed restaurant. Alternatively, sample jumbo lump crab pizzetta from Terrace, which serves Italian cuisine. The resort also offers excellent food service, which can be enjoyed in the comfort of your room.
Wander Parrot Cay’s coasts and explore secluded beaches. The water is at a perfect swimming temperature year-round. Spend a day on the sand in the shade of a private tiki hut, which can be rented from the resort.
For some activity, rent a snorkel and spot marine life swimming around the nearby coral reef. Otherwise, take a windsurfing or sailing lesson. Take a day to tour Iguana Island where you can observe rock iguanas, an endangered species native to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Find Parrot Cay on in the western area of the Turks and Caicos Islands. After flying into Providenciales International Airport, resort staff will transport you via a 35-minute boat ride to the island.
