Turks & Caicos Islands
RELAXATION: Tropical white sand beach
Geographically located at the southern tip of the Bahamas chain, the Turks & Caicos islands with their spectacular white sand beaches, turquoise sea and friendly people, offer a luxuriously tranquil retreat.
Formerly annexed to Jamaica, the Turks & Caicos opted to remain British when Jamaica became independent in 1962. Proximity to the US and the arrival of satellite television in the 1980s saw an American influence creeping into the islands. Today, the US dollar is the official currency and offshore finance and tourism are the lifeblood of the country’s economy.
Turks & Caicos enjoy a wealth of luxury hotels, many on the main island of Providenciales, spread along the pristine twelve mile beach of Grace Bay on the north shore. Other properties hide away on small cays or their own private islands. Regardless of the hotel you choose from our selection, you can be assured of your own piece of seclusion, quiet time and barefoot luxury. Here you will find world-class spas, endless watersports, unspoilt beaches, well-equipped accommodation and excellent cuisine.
TBritish Airways flies from London Heathrow to Providenciales every Sunday with a touchdown in Nassau, Bahamas. There are also daily flights that connect through Miami.
