Crystalline Waters & Uninhabited Cays

Turks & Caicos Islands

Located southeast of the Bahamas and north of the Dominican Republic, the Turks & Caicos Islands are an exquisite chain of 40 low-lying coral islands, only eight of which are inhabited. Known for their crystalline turquoise waters, powdery white beaches, and exceptional diving, this destination is a diver’s, kite-surfer’s, and beach lover’s paradise. The underwater walls, reefs, and dramatic drop-offs attract marine life from whales to reef sharks, while the islands themselves remain blissfully uncrowded.

The best time to visit is between December and April, when the weather is dry, and trade winds keep temperatures comfortable. The archipelago offers a blend of luxurious resorts, quiet fishing villages, and protected marine parks—all best explored by private yacht.

  • Begin in Providenciales, home to the legendary white sands of Grace Bay Beach.
  • Explore dramatic underwater walls, vibrant reefs, and historic wrecks in Grand Turk and West Caicos.
  • Discover the untouched beauty and absolute solitude of uninhabited islands like Big Sand Cay and French Cay.
