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.

Wild, uninhabited, and among the least explored islands in the archipelago.
East Caicos is a vast natural landscape of wetlands, limestone, beaches, and reefs. With no permanent population, it remains one of the most remote places in Turks and Caicos.
The island has important Lucayan archaeological sites and extensive ecosystems that support birds, marine life, and native plants.
Access is generally by private boat or charter and should be carefully planned with experienced local operators.
