Occupying an eponymous private island, this is definitely the flashiest hotel in Turks and Caicos. Parrot Cay is half resort, with its infinity pool, water sports, diving school and superb restaurants, and half spa, with a firm emphasis on healthy treatments, yoga and wellness provided by the international spa brand Como Shambhala.
The rooms, which run from simple but sublime one-room garden-view rooms to the incredible five-bedroom Residence, are done in beautifully understated teak furnishings and white timbered walls. The main restaurant, Terrace, is a sublime experience catering for all needs with cuisines ranging from macrobiotic to gourmet.
