Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos is the northern Caribbean’s pre-eminent private island. It is wrapped in sweeps of sand and peaceful seas featuring the region’s best spa and haute cuisine.

There are over 1000 unspoilt acres, wetlands and a mile-long powdered beach. Accommodation in whitewash with chic teak finishing includes beachside villas, some with private pools. The aesthetic is pared down and sleek four-posters wrapped in soft cottons that billow with the breeze.

There is also a collection of privately owned residences, located a 5-7 minute buggy ride from the main resort, which are available to rent for those seeking utmost privacy.

COMO Shambhala Retreat is a place to detoxify, meditate and enjoy a more peaceful existence. As the sun retreats, look out from the yoga pavilion towards this private island's empty wetlands. Facilities are comprehensive and include a 540sq ft infinity-edge pool on the leeward side of the island, a yoga room and Pilates studio (both with specialist equipment), treatment rooms, steam, sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi garden.

Specialist therapists offer a wide range of Asian-inspired treatment, and the resident Ayurvedic Doctor offers a selection of Ayurvedic treatments.

Daily complimentary Yoga and Pilates classes are available to all guests, and throughout the year Visiting Masters host dedicated Yoga Retreat Weeks.
