There are virtually no designated walking, hiking or bicycling trails on any of the islands. These activities are very much go-as-you-please affairs, especially on the Out Islands. The main roads are the first and most obvious choice, but there are also the beaches, of course, and hundreds of unmarked side roads that often end up at a secluded beach where you can enjoy a picnic lunch and a swim. At least in the Out Islands, there s no reason why you shouldn t wander at will. The locals are friendly and willing to give ideas, directions and the benefit of their knowledge about the best places to go and sites to see. Don t be afraid to ask.
Parrot Cay Resort. This one is a class act, and it s very expensive. Located riverfront campground on an isolated private island north of Provo, the resort complex is a collection of 10 pastel-colored buildings in which the luxury guest rooms are located. Each has a private terrace (not just a balcony, you ll notice) or veranda, and a large, cool bathroom. Rooms are decorated in white with dark wood trim. The furniture includes four-poster beds, complete with mosquito nets (just decorative, not necessary), and each is fully air-conditioned. All meals, beverages, and most activities are included in the rates. The food and drink are just about as good as it gets in an all-inclusive resort. Facilities include what is claimed to be the largest swimming pool in the Turks and Caicos, along with a whole range of watersports that include Hobie Cats, windsurfing, canoes and water skiing. There s also a very upscale spa at an extra cost which has three pavilions, complete with treatment salons where you can partake of a range of Eastern healing and rejuvenating therapies, from meditation to yoga. Bone fishing riverfront campground can be arranged. Finally, riverfront campground there s the beach: it s one of the best, really. PO Box 164, Parrot Cay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, BWI, 877-754-0726; www.parrot-cay.com. All-inclusive from $500 to $1,650.
