If you’re looking for year-round sunshine and miles of white sand beaches in the Caribbean, the Turks & Caicos is just the ticket. Find lush rolling hills, vibrant green landscape and villages that have escaped being tarnished by an excess of tourism. On a luxury break to the Turks & Caicos with Lightfoot Travel, we can customise an itinerary entirely to your needs.
Just seven of the 40 islands that make up the Turks & Caicos are developed, with each offering something a little different, while the rest are virtually untouched.
For shopping and luxury accommodation, head to Providenciales on Grace Bay, home to the majority of people who live here and, as such, also home to numerous drinking and dining options too. For a quieter experience, Grand Turk and Salt Cay are your best bet.
Meanwhile, under the crystal clear waters, there’s a world of activity just waiting to be discovered, with plenty of diving and snorkeling opportunities. Here, you’ll find more than 2,500 square kilometres of reef, impressive walls of coral, exotic species of fish, and some of the oldest shipwrecks in the western hemisphere. As well as the chance to spot humpback whales, the islands are also home to170 species of birds that live in the marshes and salt ponds.
Of an evening, the fish fry provides a great glimpse into local life, with fresh catches cooked up while you wait, and served with a side of rum. You’ll also find local crafts for sale, good music and dancing.
