COMO Parrot Cay

COMO Parrot Cay is a private island resort in the Turks and Caicos, with 1,000 unspoilt acres and a mile-long white beach. Beachside houses and villas have whitewash interiors and chic teak finishing, with many featuring plunge and infinity pools. The design is pared-back and sleek, with four-poster beds wrapped in soft white cottons that billow in the breeze. There are also very large residences available to rent — tucked away in secluded spots on the island but with full access to the resort’s many facilities. Chefs serve casual lunches and dinners at the poolside Lotus restaurant and fine dining in Terrace restaurant, which features Mediterranean-style cuisine with an Asian twist. Guests can relax at COMO Beach Club which looks over the ocean and serves cocktails created by expert mixologists. COMO Shambhala Cuisine is always available, with dishes focusing on energising and organic ingredients. An emphasis on raw (more easily digested as well as richer in living enzymes, vitamins and sea minerals) is combined with pan-Asian influences. Wellness is nurtured at the multi-award-winning COMO Shambhala Retreat, which offers yoga, Pilates and a range of holistic therapies. Daily complimentary yoga classes take place in a dedicated pavilion overlooking the island’s wetlands, with weeklong yoga programmes held throughout the year. For the actively inclined, there is a fully equipped gym, large swimming pool, a number of tennis courts an excellent jogging routes. Watersports, diving and island excursions complete the COMO Parrot Cay experience for families, honeymooners and couples seeking impeccable service at one of the world’s leading beach resorts.
