COMO PARROT CAY: ESCAPE TO A TROPICAL PARADISE
Between trails through lush greenery and sandy white beaches, an enthralling wellness experience awaits. Rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit in the serene, reflective paradise of COMO Parrot Cay.
Located in the Turks and Caicos, southeast of Miami, COMO Parrot Cay is a private island resort rich in hidden coves, pristine beaches, and reefs. An archipelago of eight principal islands, Parrot Cay is one of 40 smaller cays frequented by Hollywood superstars, musicians, business moguls, and fashion designers.
The sprawling 1,000-acre luxury resort is a 50-min private transfer from the island of Providenciales. The ride is an experience in itself — a scenic drive and reflective boat ride on shimmering azure water that changes colour throughout the day.
At COMO Parrot Cay, be greeted by lush tropical foliage and exquisite oceanfront villas dotting the mile-long white-sand beach, offering unrivalled privacy in a tranquil atmosphere.
From the resort’s personalised service and sophisticated cuisine to its outdoor adventure and distinctive wellness offerings, COMO Parrot Cay entices visitors to surrender to the rhythms of the natural world with the perfect beach experience tailored for every taste.
THE JOURNEY TOWARDS SELF-MASTERY
COMO Parrot Cay’s award-winning COMO Shambhala Retreat offers Asian-inspired treatments such as Ayurvedic detox programmes and Thai massages and innovative therapies such as the Dead Sea Mud therapy, Marine Algae Therapy, and COMO Shambhala Bath. Visiting master-led yoga retreats and other holistic approaches offer mental quietude, physical well-being and spiritual balance.
The resort’s impressive fitness centre includes the Yoga Pavilion and Pilates Studio aired by a natural breeze, nine treatment rooms, an outdoor Jacuzzi garden, and double massage rooms. The facilities are all located in low-lying pavilions overlooking the North Caicos Channel and the surrounding wetlands.
In May this year, join the acclaimed Curry Sisters, Andrea and Christina Curry, at the six-night “Empowered Wellness Yoga Retreat”. Practising and teaching yoga worldwide for over 20 years, the sisters believe that “by stepping out of a normal environment, one will commit more time, space, and energy to the self, advance physically and mentally, and leave feeling renewed, relaxed, and energised.”
The retreat combines daily Vinyasa and Hatha yoga classes. “We weave meditation, pranayama, and active and restorative poses in each class, making it possible for everyone to enjoy over four hours of practice each day,” shares Andrea.
For Christina, “the goal is to connect to one’s own mind and body deeply. Guests will explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviour with our guidance, learning the tools and techniques needed to refine the practice of self-mastery.”
Designed to maximise energy, indulge in healthful choices from the COMO Shambhala Cuisine menu. This unique nutritional concept incorporates flavourful organic ingredients rich in living enzymes, vitamins, and sea minerals.
CARIBBEAN'S FRESH CATCH
The culinary adventures continue at the two restaurants and one beach bar, offering themed nights, inventive cuisine, and live music. The surrounding Caribbean sea, coconut grove, and banana farm provide access to the finest local ingredients and catches.
Hailed as one of the top restaurants in the region, Lotus serves light Caribbean-inspired specialities during the day and contemporary Asian menus at night. In the morning, choose from a selection of homemade pastries and juices. Tuck into fresh-off-the-grill seafood while local musicians play island tunes well into the night.
Terrace, a sophisticated yet laidback indoor and alfresco restaurant, specialises in modern Italian-inspired cuisine for a sumptuous dinner. At the bar above the restaurant, be serenaded by live jazz while sipping cocktails under the stars.
COMO Beach Club is a casual bar serving light bites and drinks by day, coming alive at night with mixologist specialists and vibrant music. Create memorable experiences with private dining options ranging from candlelight supper on the beach to an intimate gourmet dinner on the deck of the villa.
RECONNECT WITH NATURE
Spend time unwinding by kayaking through the mangrove forests, taking a dip in the ocean, sipping wine on a sunset cruise or finding a moment of quiet under the coconut trees.
Jog, walk, or bike through the tropical forests and soak in the wonders of nature. Take a snorkel eco-tour and explore the beautiful reefs bursting with colourful marine life. Go searching for sand dollars, conch shells, and tropical fish, easily visible in the crystal clear waters. With one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, explore wall diving along sand chutes, canyons, and cracks for an unforgettable swim-through experience.
A short boat ride away, reconnect with nature at the vibrant island of North Caicos. From the historical Wade’s Green Plantation to remote beaches, bask in the tranquillity of the moment. At the local animal and fruit farms, and through the bird ponds and bountiful nature preserves, soak in the island life in all its beauty.
PRIVATE ROMANTIC SANCTUARY
Fringed with the island’s landscaped gardens, white sand dunes, and uninterrupted sea views, COMO Parrot Cay’s 66 sun-soaked rooms, suites, beach houses and villas, and private estates maximise space and natural light while creating a private romantic sanctuary.
British interior designer Keith Hobbs achieves the ideal harmony between a relaxed beach-house aesthetic and soothing contemporary minimalism with a colonial-style finish. Be at home with delicately balanced whitewashed interiors furnished with soft cotton-covered upholstery, elegant terracotta tiles, and Indonesian teak furnishings.
More than a luxury destination, its natural landscapes and holistic experiences are a gentle, empowering refuge designed for deep, soulful relaxation — an opportunity to reach new depths and infinite potential within.
