Turks and Caicos Islands
A British overseas territory, the Turks and Caicos Islands are comprised of 40 islands and cays.
They lie at the south-eastern end of the Bahamas chain, 575 miles southeast of Miami and 90 miles north of Hispaniola. The islands are generally flat, with rolling hills, brilliant reefs, and water that shifts through every shade of turquoise.
Long before European arrival, the islands were home to Taíno and Lucayan peoples. The name Caicos is linked to the Lucayan phrase caya hico, meaning string of islands, while Turks is often associated with the native Turk's Head cactus and the islands' old seafaring history.
Some of the world's most beautiful islands. All connected by one airline.
Providenciales is home to Grace Bay Beach, repeatedly voted one of the world's best beaches. Grand Turk carries centuries of history and offers world-class diving. North and Middle Caicos protect quiet beaches, caves, wetlands, and the dramatic Mudjin Harbour. South Caicos is emerging as a refined oceanside destination, while Salt Cay remains a small, peaceful outpost with extraordinary whale watching. Caicos Express connects these islands with a trusted, home-grown service.

Twin islands connected by a causeway and best explored together.
North Caicos is the greener of the two, with quiet beaches, tidal flats, and Flamingo Pond near Whitby. Wade's Green plantation ruins preserve one of the Caribbean's most important Loyalist-era sites.
Across the causeway, Middle Caicos is the largest island in TCI and one of its most unspoiled. Small villages, ancient Lucayan sites, and Conch Bar Caves give the island a character all its own.
The crown jewel is Mudjin Harbour: a dramatic stretch of limestone cliffs, hidden beaches, and Dragon Cay rising from the sea.
