Discover Turks and Caicos: Your Complete Travel Guide

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a beautiful group of 40 tropical islands and cays in the Atlantic Ocean, just southeast of the Bahamas. This British Overseas Territory has strong ties to the United Kingdom, and English is the official language. It’s an easy and welcoming destination for travellers from the United States, Canada, and beyond.

Known for its soft white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and year-round sunshine, Turks and Caicos is a favourite for luxury travellers, honeymooners, and families. The archipelago includes two island groups — the Turks Islands and the Caicos Islands — with most visitors staying on Providenciales, the country’s main tourism hub.

Whether you’d like to relax on a world-class beach, snorkel vibrant coral reefs, explore quiet cays, or enjoy fine dining, Turks and Caicos truly has it all.

The Beaches: Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales (“Provo”) is regularly ranked among the best in the world, with miles of soft white sand and calm turquoise waters. But it’s not the only one — every island has beaches just as breathtaking, each with its own unique charm and character.
World-Class Diving and Snorkelling: The islands are home to the third-largest barrier reef in the world, offering unforgettable underwater adventures filled with colourful coral and abundant marine life.
Luxury Accommodations: Choose from all-inclusive resorts, boutique hotels, or private villas that deliver some of the Caribbean’s most exclusive and comfortable stays — and yes, we may be a little biased toward the villas!
The Outer Islands: Beyond Providenciales, the outer islands of Turks and Caicos offer untouched beauty, cultural richness, and a slower, more authentic pace of island life. Perfect for day trips or off-the-beaten-path adventures.
Easy Access: Getting here is simple, with direct international flights from major US cities and convenient domestic connections. Most visitors arrive through Providenciales International Airport (PLS), the hub of the islands.

Getting Here

Most international travellers arrive through Providenciales International Airport (PLS) — also known as Howard Hamilton International Airport — located on Providenciales, home to many of the country’s luxury resorts and private villas.

The South Caicos Airport (XSC) now offers select direct flights, providing easier access to the outer islands and new ways to explore the Turks and Caicos Islands.

PLS is a modern, well-equipped airport with full immigration and customs services and optional VIP Fast Track assistance. Consider this in peak periods to skip long queues and move quickly through immigration and security — the perfect way to start your Turks and Caicos vacation as effortlessly as island life itself.
