Surely one of the most exclusive private island sanctuaries in the Caribbean, Parrot Cay offers an extraordinary thousand acres of pure escapism, accessible only by speedboat. A true back-to-nature experience, tucked away in a quiet corner of the Turks and Caicos, it is an oasis of calm, where the tide keeps time and the whale migrations mark the seasons. In keeping with this ‘au naturel’ theme, a sleek palette of whites and creams presents the perfect contrast to the Caribbean Sea, with teak four-poster beds wrapped in soft cottons that billow with the breeze and cavernous bathrooms – whether in the rooms, suites, beach houses or villas with plunge pools.
