Known for its crystal clear waters and powdery white sand beaches, the Turks and Caicos Islands are a Caribbean paradise you’ll want to visit again and again. The scenery and wide range of activities promise to delight every time you visit the Turks and Caicos Islands, and while there are already plenty of elevated accommodations, several new properties are popping up across the archipelago. Over the next two years, eight major properties are expected to open, including an Andaz Hotel, a Kempinski and a Marriott Luxury Collection hotel.

The country has 40 islands and cays, only eight of which are inhabited and perfect for a day of exploring by boat or even island hopping from hotel to hotel. For those who want a truly secluded experience, there are also several private island hotels offering a serene and exclusive beach break. There’s something for everyone in the Turks and Caicos Islands: family-friendly resorts, beach villas perfect for a group trip, and luxurious ocean-view rooms perfect for a romantic getaway. Best of all, this destination is accessible by a quick, direct flight from several U.S. and Canadian cities, and there is also a direct route from London.
