"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
"A 35-minute boat transfer delivers guests to 1,000 acres dominated by wellness and conservation, where breezy, beachy accommodations include beach houses, villas, and estates with butler service. Sustainability is central—nearly 85% of the island is protected and on-site coconut and banana farms supply kitchens—while COMO’s Shambhala spa, Ayurvedic consultations, sunrise meditations, and health-focused cuisine shape a restorative, A-list escape with abundant snorkeling and paddling opportunities." - Laura Begley Bloom
"A roughly 1,000-acre wellness-focused hideaway reached by boat from Providenciales, with 61 breezy, beachy accommodations and larger beach houses, villas and estates that include butler service. Conservation and community are priorities—about 85 percent of the island is protected habitat, and on-site coconut and banana plantings supply the kitchens—while COMO’s Shambhala spa, Ayurvedic consultations, sunrise meditations and health-forward cuisine make wellness central. Water-based activities include reef snorkeling and mangrove paddling." - Laura Begley Bloom, Devorah Lev-Tov
"Among the Turks & Caicos wealth of gorgeous resorts, this 1000-acre private island is a top tropical hideaway, at once fitting for families and today’s style set. Accommodations, which range from ocean-facing rooms to beach houses and multi-bedroom beachfront estate, are statements in minimalism, often dressed in white voile draping and teak wood furnishings. An adults-only infinity pool is fringed by umbrella-capped lounge beds and borders the St. Tropez-style COMO Beach Club. Nearby is a sprawling family infinity pool as well as Play by COMO, a kids club where parents can drop the little ones for the day. As with all COMO properties, expect an Asian-influenced wellness concept with a spa specializing in time-honored Balinese and Thai treatments, and the option of a vitamin-rich, clean-eating menu at all restaurants." - Paul Rubio
