Turks & Cs
Devotees of intimate Caribbean retreats should seriously consider the seductively beautiful Parrot Cay, a private island surrounded by dreamy white beaches and clear blue seas. Visitors delight in acres of nature and unspoilt coastline whilst indulging in the cosseting service, haute cuisine and world-class COMO Shambhala Retreat the hotel has to offer.
Parrot Cay is a destination that revives all your senses, so often numbed by the modern world of today. Experience sand underfoot that feels like powdered porcelain. Feel the shadows cast by the occasional wandering cloud. Watch pale turquoise merge into Prussian blue, the hues constantly changing as the sun plays out the day. Smell the scent of spices coming from Lotus Restaurant breaking the salt air. Treat your taste buds to a fine selection of world cheeses and Mediterranean dishes at Terrace or the sweetest and most succulent of seasonal produce, the local lobster. Finally let your body feel the restorative effect of a deep tissue massage, marine algae therapy or Hot River Stone treatment and your mind find peace at a session of Pilates, yoga, Pranayama or meditation overlooking natures surrounding wetlands.
