This British Overseas Territory located in the North Atlantic is undoubtedly one of the best beach destinations on the planet. This year, we chose it as the best in the world. Therefore, we review the main requirements and tips for traveling to the villas in Turks and Caicos.
There are eight main resorts, of which 6 are inhabited. The Turks resorts, located to the east of the archipelago, include Grand Turk (the location of the capital) and Salt Cay. The Caicos Islands are made up (from west to east) of West Caicos, Providenciales, North Caicos, Central Caicos, East Caicos, and South Caicos. Most of the small cays, such as Parrot Cay, Dellis Cay, and Little Water Cay, lie between the Caicos Islands.
Providenciales is the place of residence of the majority of the population and the most developed, and where the Providenciales International Airport (PLS) is located, where all international flights arrive. Grand Turk is the second most populous island, the seat of government, and where the Grand Turk Cruise Center is located. In Providenciales, you can find white villas easily.
Tips and requirements for traveling to the Turks and Caicos Resorts:

There is plenty to choose from but if we are allowed to recommend, White Villas is by far the best villa provider in Turks and Caicos.

Not only providing quality boutique villas, but White Villas also guarantees fun activities that you might want to do around Turks and Caicos.
