Parrot Cay, TKCA 1ZZ, Turks & Caicos Islands Get directions

"Tucked on a private island, this haven offers seclusion, star‑level service, and chic, clean interiors, with kayaking through mangrove forests and restorative spa time as must‑dos; it even attracts celebs like Donna Karan and Keith Richards, who keep villas here." - Shelby Wax

"Known for possibly the whitest sand in the Caribbean and its Shambhala Retreat massages, this wellness-forward resort centers days on treatments, yoga, biking, snorkeling, and long communal feasts—though guests can opt for mojitos at the bar instead. The island’s creative-celebrity history (with homeowners like the Rolling Stones and Donna Karan) contributes to its wide-open, beach-first ethos and Balinese-inspired villas that promote restorative seclusion." - Lauren Burvill

"Set on some of the whitest sand in the Caribbean, COMO Parrot Cay is a wellness-first private-island escape where I might spend more time in the Shambhala Retreat than on the beach thanks to deeply effective massages; days here tend to revolve around yoga, biking around the island, snorkeling, kayaking, and dawdling over long feasts. For those who prefer a more hedonistic pace, you can always skip the green juice and slurp a mojito at the bar — a spot Keith Richards has been known to frequent — and the island’s celebrity homeowners (including a Balinese-inspired villa Donna Karan calls “a sanctuary where I go to create awareness”) add to the wide-open, big-hearted, beach-first vibe." - CNT Editors

"Tucked a half-hour boat ride from Providenciales, COMO Parrot Cay has one of the best beaches I’ve encountered in the Caribbean, lush pine trees and foliage, diverse dining options, activities like kayaking and farm tours, and a range of accommodations from double hotel rooms to privately owned beachfront residences that sleep up to eight and come fully staffed; the COMO Shambhala wellness center—offering yoga, sound healing, and nutrition resets—is one of the best I’ve experienced in the region." - Maria Diego
