The Turks and
 Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos beckon with endlessly idyllic temperatures ranging from 27°C to 32°C, 350 days of sunshine each year and warm, azure waters just right for diving into aquatic activities year round. The steady trade winds mean that air conditioning is rarely needed as the island breezes keep you cool.

With over 129 kilometers of the barrier reef, the sun-dappled waters off the island of Providenciales are a paradise for scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, boat rides, parasailing, kite boarding and water skiing. Sheltered wetlands and nearby cays are perfect for kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding… and for spotting starfish, turtles, conches and stingrays.



If you prefer golf greens to the ocean blue, tee off at the scenic Provo Golf Course, one of the top ten in the Caribbean. For a little local culture, take a magical history tour to the ruins of Cheshire Hall Plantation, where cotton once blossomed, or to Sapodilla Bay Hill, where sailors carved messages into rocks as they awaited their ships.

Connoisseurs will find something for every taste in the Turks and Caicos many restaurants, bistros and cafés—everything, that is, except for chain restaurants. Of all the culinary genres, Providenciales does gourmet dining best with award-winning chefs preparing international cuisine, high-end fusion and island specialties such as mahi mahi, tuna, rock lobster and conch freshly caught in nearby waters. Conch is the island’s iconic catch and the annual Conch Festival, a celebration of everything conch, are the top Turks and Caicos cuisine event.
