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.

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.

The island’s two restaurants serve a range of fine dining and casual dishes, including healthy COMO Shambhala Cuisine, while COMO Beach Club is open daily for drinks by the sand.

Wellness is nurtured at the multi-award-winning COMO Shambhala Retreat, which offers yoga, Pilates and a range of holistic therapies. Daily complimentary wellness 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 and a number of tennis courts. 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.
