Destination
Turks & Caicos
Though just 90 minutes by plane from Miami, the paradise islands of Turks & Caicos have played a canny game in remaining beneath the tourism radar, meaning those that discover this tropical castaway will find deserted beaches and unspoilt coral reefs.
The most fabled stretch of oceanfront is Grace Bay with its powdery-white sands that sweep the north-eastern fringes of Providenciales. The beach gently slopes into the ocean, which reveals colours so vivid no postcard could do them justice.
Pleasures here are pure and simple. Spend your days on the beach, snorkelling and soaking up paradise. You might also be tempted to charter a private yacht and explore the many deserted islands.
