Oceanfront, Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos
5 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms
Maximum Occupancy: 10
Description
Parrot Cay is a sanctuary, just an hour’s flight from Miami, which asks you to forget the world you’ve left behind. The island capital, Providenciales, is well connected with the US and Europe, and from the airport, it is an easy speedboat transfer to your private hideaway.
Then, immediate submersion: the body clock unwinds and finds its natural rhythm, the tide keeps time and the migration of the whales gives the season.
Accomodations:
The Residence, a complex of villas – rented together or separately – lies in the unspoilt area beyond Rocky Point, the headland that splices the island’s leeward beach in two affording guests of our new projects, totally untouched stretches of coastland that are both empty and secure. The Residence meets the demands of the most discerning traveler who seeks the villa experience with hotel services attached. The central master villa has the most glorious bedroom you will find in all the Caribbean, with commanding views of the azure-blue ocean on one side and the leeward lagoon on the other. The infinity pool is large enough to compete with the resort’s proper, with the other villas each having private pools. All villas enjoy spectacular views of the amazingly clear waters.The aesthetic is pared down but unerringly sleek, featuring neutral colors, pale teaks and soft cottons that billow with the breeze. The finish, too, is a subtle combination of high-tech and chic, featuring air-conditioning, direct dial telephone, TV/DVD/Internet access and candles glowing poolside when night eventually falls. All the villas come with butler service. Eat in the privacy of your villa, at The Residence, or venture further a field, towards the tapered tip of your private bay where you can grill freshly caught lobster for lunch. Likewise venture to Shambhala, the spa.
Facilities:
At Parrot Cay, the point is nature. The sand underfoot feels like powdered porcelain. Pale turquoise merges into Prussian blue, the shades changing as the sun alters its position. Some guests find their own stretch of beach; others prefer to relax around the resort’s main swimming pool – cobalt, melting into the bright horizon. There is a watersports centre (see Island Activities) and two floodlit tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, a 5000 sq ft Infinity pool, as well as trails snaking through the undeveloped back country. Our library features a formidable book collection, as well as pool tables, Internet terminals, a satellite television and Playstation consoles. A hotel boutique sells a carefully edited selection of gifts as well as holiday necessities like hats and sun lotion.
Cuisine:
Parrot Cay has set a new benchmark for haute cuisine in the Caribbean. Richard Thompson, Parrot Cay's executive chef, joins us after extensive experience in the United States and St. Thomas. Lotus restaurant affords the opportunity for Thompson to reveal his inventive style with zesty Caribbean panache, while Terrace restaurant showcases Thompson's skill in haute cuisine, offerings guests Classic and Nouvelle continental interpretations using the freshest local and world product available.
Spa:
Parrot Cay attends to guests’ needs at a deeper level, courtesy of COMO Shambhala retreat. In a pavilion overlooking the island’s wetlands, practice yoga with the world’s leading teachers during dedicated retreat weeks, taking advantage of COMO Shambhala's extensive retreat facilities. As tall egrets pick noiselessly through the shallows, melt beneath the hands of specialised therapists who administer Asian-inspired holistic therapies, honed by international health consultants. Couple with our signature health-giving cuisine, and feel the benefits of a complete return to real well being. At COMO Shambhala, we believe in balance - of mind, body and spirit - and the inspiration of the soul, afforded by a place of beauty.
