If Parrot Cay & COMO Shambhala Retreat is not paradise, then it is pretty close, according to aficionados who have ventured to this tiny private island in the Turks & Caicos. Readers of Condé Nast Traveller consistently cite it as one of their favourite hotels in the world.
With only 65 rooms and a handful of sybaritic beachfront villas, the atmosphere here is totally exclusive. The decor is a masterpiece of lean simplicity; four-poster beds swathed in muslin with crisp white linens and teak day beds on private verandas afford an air of cool sophistication. The one bedroom beach houses and villas have their own heated plunge pools, while the two and three bedroom villas have swimming pools and come complete with butler service.
Towards the southern end of Parrot Cay are some of the most spectacular villas in the Caribbean. The Residence and Rocky Point offer supremely luxurious private villas, ranging from three to five bedrooms, with views of the ocean. The villas can be rented together or separately and meet the demands of those who seek a villa experience with hotel services attached. The Sanctuary from the Parrot Cay Estates collection, is a unique beach property of two houses with four bedrooms each. Large windows bring the landscape indoors with 360-degree water views and an infinity pool elevating these to the last word in luxury living.
The dining experience here is as exceptional as the accommodation. Lotus, the poolside restaurant serves a dazzling menu of Caribbean and Asian origin, while the Terrace Restaurant in the main hotel is the venue for leisurely breakfasts as well as a Mediterranean influenced dinner menu. The healthy COMO Shambhala cuisine which includes food rich in living enzymes, vitamins, minerals and raw food items is available at both restaurants and from room service.
The COMO Shambhala Retreat is a sublime spa where Eastern inspired therapies and body treatments are combined with yoga and pilates to rejuvenate and heal tired bodies and minds. For the more energetic, Parrot Cay also offers an airconditioned gymnasium, two floodlit tennis courts, windsurfing, canoeing, catamaran sailing, scuba diving and snorkelling. Excellent bonefishing, island hopping and nature trails are also on offer. Whatever you choose to do, Parrot Cay & COMO Shambhala Retreat offers the ultimate in Caribbean escapism.
