Villas of Distinction

Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands

Stay 7 nights and pay for only 5 nights until December 20th, 2009. Blackout dates apply - subject to availability.

Retreat to a quiet corner of the forgotten Caribbean wrapped in sweeps of sand and peaceful seas featuring the region's best spa and haute cuisine. It combines nature, 1000 unspoilt acres, including a mile-long powdered beach, with understated style and cosseting service.

Think of it in simple terms: a place to rediscover those forgotten rhythms of long days, easy nights, and the salve of peace.

Interiors come in whitewash with chic teak finishing. The aesthetic is pared down but unerringly sleek, featuring four-posters wrapped in soft cottons that billow with the breeze. Simplicity matters, and the privilege of space, enriched by clean-lined furniture, open-air day beds, cavernous bathrooms and enveloping linens.

Parrot Cay attends to guests' needs at a deeper level, courtesy of COMO Shambhala retreat. In a pavilion overlooking the island's wetlands, practice yoga with the world's leading teachers during dedicated retreat weeks, taking advantage of COMO Shambhala's extensive retreat facilities. As tall egrets pick noiselessly through the shallows, melt beneath the hands of specialised therapists who administer Asian-inspired holistic therapies, honed by international health consultants. Couple with our signature health-giving cuisine, and feel the benefits of a complete return to real well being.

At Parrot Cay, the point is nature. The sand underfoot feels like powdered porcelain. Pale turquoise merges into Prussian blue, the shades changing as the sun alters its position.

Some guests find their own stretch of beach; others prefer to relax around the resort's main swimming pool - cobalt, melting into the bright horizon.

There is a watersports center (see Island Activities) and two floodlit tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, a 5000 sq ft Infinity pool, as well as trails snaking through the undeveloped back country.

The library features a formidable book collection, as well as pool tables, Internet terminals, a satellite television and Playstation consoles.

The Villas at Parrot Cay

One five-bedroom villa and five three-bedroom villas situated on six acres of beachfront property. Part of Parrot Cay Estates, a community of luxury villas located a short ride from Parrot Cay's main resort in Turks & Caicos, these private residences each feature a heated swimming pool, direct access to the beach, and private butler service.

The five-bedroom villa consists of a master suite with a four-poster king-size bed and an ocean-view sitting area, four guest bedrooms with king-size beds, a full kitchen, a dining room that accommodates up to 12 guests, a home theatre, and a spacious deck with an area for outdoor dining. A highlight of this residence is a large beachfront area with swim zone markers.

The three-bedroom villas offer two bedrooms with king-size beds and one with twin-size beds. These homes include fully-equipped kitchens and large sun decks adjacent to the swimming pool. All villa rentals at The Residence include many lavish amenities, such as satellite television and a DVD player in every bedroom, daily maid service, wireless Internet service, COMO Shambhala products in each bathroom, and access to all of the services and amenities of Parrot Cay Resort.

In addition to the Estate Villas, the resort also offers one- and two-bedroom beach villas. These come with cooling plunge pools, hardwood verandahs, and kitchenettes; the two-bedroom villas also feature heated swimming pools.

All Rates include daily breakfast, daily fruit basket, and arrival/ departure public transportation to and from the property (excluding private arrivals). Package rates are also available - please inquire at time of booking.
