With an average of 350 days sunshine a year, the Turks & Caicos are the perfect destination for sun-worshipping holidaymakers. Considered to be part of the Caribbean, this string of over forty low-lying islands (of which only eight are inhabited) actually lies in the Atlantic Ocean just south of the Bahamas. A destination for visitors who value beaches and sea over lush, mountainous landscapes, the islands are largely flat and covered with scrub vegetation, although what the Turks & Caicos lack in foliage, they make up for with idyllic white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean.
Offering some of the most luxurious resorts in the Caribbean, the Turks & Caicos are gilded destination attracting celebrities, socialites and families who flock here for the fabulous weather and laid-back way of life. Often thought of as ‘The Hamptons’ of the Caribbean, the Turks & Caicos is an upscale destination where great service and high style are key.
The Caicos islands are where the majority of visitors head and holiday-makers can choose from world-famous private island retreats to exclusive five-star hideaways, all offering style, luxury and exclusivity. Boasting a stunning 12-mile beach, the island of Providenciales is home to the majority of the islands’ resorts, many of which lie along the idyllic Grace Bay.
Around 300 square miles of the Turks & Caicos are protected and the beaches here are truly spectacular. It is however, what happens under the water that really defines the destination. Something of a watery paradise, the Turks & Caicos are thought by many to be one of the top diving destinations in the world, popular with divers and snorkellers who flock here to see the world’s third-largest coral reef and explore vertical undersea walls (the continental shelf drops a mile deep), untouched coral and swim with sea turtles, nurse sharks and tropical fish. Whether you plan to spend most of your holiday relaxing on a white sand beach or under water, you won’t be disappointed.
