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.

A tiny historic island with quiet beaches and unforgettable whale encounters.

Salt Cay grew around the salt trade, and its salinas, stone walls, and old buildings remain visible today. The island is small enough to explore slowly and rewards visitors who value peace over crowds.

Diving, beachcombing, and cycling are popular year-round. During winter, humpback whales migrate through the Columbus Passage just offshore.

Flights connect through Grand Turk, making the journey part of the island-hopping experience.
