Turks and Caicos Holidays

Jet away to a tropical Caribbean paradise!  A Turks and Caicos holiday is the stuff of dreams with the world’s most beautiful beaches, turquoise waters that lap the shores and stretch as far as the eye can see, and miles of unspoiled coral reefs and tropical marine life waiting to be discovered.  This destination promises everything you could ever need from a luxury sun-soaked holiday.

PRISTINE WHITE SANDS, TURQUOISE CARIBBEAN SEAS, COLOURFUL REEFS

Look at almost any ‘World’s Best Beaches’ hotlist and you will find a mention of Turks and Caicos.  With miles and miles of soft, powdery sand, and the calmest Caribbean waters that you never have to share with crowds of other holidaymakers.  Turks and Caicos is a peaceful paradise where you can kick back, relax and forget the stress of everyday life for a little while.

Divers and snorkellers will love to explore the 200 miles of colourful reefs which are a flurry of vibrant tropical fish and corals.  The 40 islands which make up Turks and Caicos are a habitat for hundreds of tropical species, and you won’t need to look hard to see them for yourself.  Iguanas and turtles, flamingos, and pelicans inhabit many of the smaller islands, and if you visit between January and April you could be lucky enough to glimpse the humpback whales which migrate to the south of the islands every year.

Only eight of the Turks and Caicos Islands are inhabited, the largest is the capital of Providenciales.  This is the most developed island and it is dotted with many luxury villas owned by Hollywood and music stars who come here for their own idyllic escapes.

Luxury resorts and villas are the accommodation of choice here, and you will find something suited to any requirement, whether it is an exclusive couple’s retreat or a fun-filled family holiday that you are looking for.  Wherever you stay, the welcome is friendly, and the warm hospitality is endless.
