Luxury holidays in Turks & Caicos

When to go

The main draw to the islands is the year-round good weather. High season runs from January through to March, and off-season rates can be as much as 40 per cent less. Avoid June to October, though, unless you like sunbathing during hurricane season.

Getting there

• Planes

  The islands’ main international hub is on Providenciales, which is well-served with regular flights from the UK, the US and Canada. There are smaller (by which we mean ‘tiny’) airports dotted elsewhere around the archipelago.

• Trains

  There is no rail network in the Turks & Caicos.

• Automobiles

  If you want to get a real feel for the islands, then hiring a car is absolutely essential. Make sure you ask for one with air-conditioning. Taxis, however, are inexpensive and plentiful.
