COMO Parrot Cay
History & Story
In December 1998, COMO Hotels and Resorts open their first private island resort, in the Turks and Caicos. Called COMO Parrot Cay, this landmark opening brought COMO’s vision of privacy and stylish beach living to the Caribbean.
COMO Parrot Cay is a private island resort in the Turks and Caicos, with 1,000 unspoilt acres and a mile-long white beach. Beachside houses and villas have white wash interiors and chic teakfinishing, with many featuring plunge and infinity pools. There are alsovery large residences available to rent — tucked away in secluded spots on the island but with full access to the resort’s many facilities. The island’s two restaurants serve a range of fine dining and casual dishes, including healthy COMO Shambhala Cuisine, while COMO Beach Club is open daily for drinks by the sand. Wellness is nurtured at the multi-award-winning COMO Shambhala Retreat, which offers yoga, Pilates and a range of holistic therapies. Week long yoga programmes are held throughout the year and there is a substantial, fully equipped gym. Watersports, diving and island excursions complete the COMO Parrot Cay experience.

Location
The Turks and Caicos are located in the northern Caribbean, an archipelago of eight principal islands and more than 40 smallercays, of which COMO Parrot Cay is one. The islands are positioned some 575m (925km) southeast of Miami, which is a 70-minute flight away. International flights come into Providenciales, the main island, from where it is a 30-minute speedboat ride to the resort.
The topography of COMO Parrot Cay slopes up from the ocean towards a 49 foot (15 metre) -high ridge along the centre of the island. The landmass covers about 1000 acres. It has 3.23m (5.2km) of white-sandbeaches, including a mile-long stretch on the westside (this is the resort’s principal beach).
