Set on its own 1,000 acre private island, Parrot Cay by COMO is no ordinary Caribbean retreat. This award-winning resort in the Turks & Caicos rises like a mirage amidst white sandy beach and lush greenery. Here, chic suites compete with rooms and private beach villas for attention, all reflecting the best in paradisiacal minimalism, gloriously sun-filled spaces and irresistible private pools.
The 72 rooms, suites and villas at Parrot Cay by COMO provide a wide choice of luxury accommodation, from garden-facing terraced rooms with four-poster beds, to Suites with separate living rooms, two bathrooms, a dining table for in-suite dining and French doors onto a wooden balcony with daybed. Spacious Beach Villas are available in one and two bedroom formats and have heated plunge pools and private sundecks. Donna Karan and Bruce Willis own villas here. The COMO Villa is a three bedroom villa perfectly positioned with mesmerising vistas of the ocean, yet perfectly private and comes complete with private butler.
At Rocky Point, a five minute buggy ride from the resort, the Parrot Cay Estate also offers privately-owned three and five bedroomed houses for rental, which are perfect for families and larger gatherings of friends holidaying together.
The Caribbean isn't known for its fine cuisine, but at Parrot Cay the quality is up there with the best in fresh. Local seafood and organic vegetables feature strongly at the poolside Lotus restaurant with Caribbean-inspired flavours at lunch and Asian fusion for dinner, while the Terrace restaurant specialisese in fresh Mediterranean cuisine. As you would expect, the COMO Shambhala spa menus maximise wellbeing.
Have your COMO butler organise a poolside afternoon tea or tiki hut dinner before unwinding at the signature Shambala Retreat which presents an enviable range of Asian-inspired rituals to banish stress. There's also an outdoor Jacuzzi garden, Japanese baths and postcard-perfect pavilions overlooking the Caicos Channel. If there was a heaven on earth, we’d imagine it to be Parrot Cay.
