Ryker BeckWith summer quickly approaching, the majority of us will either scramble online or down to our local travel agents to find a great deal on at least a weeks break in the sun.With air travel more assessable than ever, the amount of exotic getaways available has increased massively.The days of UK holiday-makers only having the option of Spain or France are long gone, with every continent without a reasonable ticket away.
What this means is that it is harder than ever to choose a destination. One which might not be in the most recommended lists of travel agents is The Turks and Caicos Islands.
These beautiful Islands sit just north of Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean and are well worth considering.
So, to point you in the direction of an utterly unforgettable vacation destination, here are 5 reasons to consider the Turks & Caicos Islands.
1.World Class Beaches
There are two things we look for in a beach holiday, crystal-clear, light blue waters and white sandy beaches. While there are plenty of destinations which offer this, there are few that are regarded globally as the best.
Well, that’s exactly what Providenciales Grace Bay in Turks & Caicos has been regarded as, winning the Trip Advisor Top 25 Beaches in the World. If a beautiful beach is your dream scenario, why not spend your time at the worlds greatest?
2.Popularity
A holiday is all about relaxing and for many of us, a lovely bit of peace and quiet, spending time with a small number of close friends and family.
This can be difficult to achieve when you head to destinations which attract many thousands of holiday-makers each year.
The enjoyment of relaxing on the beach and topping up your tan can be severely diminished when there are people playing sports within a three-yard circumference radius of your sun lounger.
Thankfully, Turks & Caicos, for all of its wonders, is actually the 10th most visited destination in the Caribbean, meaning you will have plenty of peace and quiet if indeed that’s what you’re after.
3.Idyllic Resorts
With such a beautiful set of islands, fantastic beaches and delightful food and drink, It’ll be no surprise to hear that there are a number of top drawer resorts for you to choose from.Just take a look at Beach House Turks and Caicos resort which is a stunning boutique hotel resort, sat on the coastline of Grace Bay.
4.Glamorous Location
Turks & Caicos is also known as quite a glamorous location, attracting some of the world’s most famous names to its isles.Recent visitors to the islands include Zac Efron, Julia Roberts, Justin Timberlake, Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz. Back in 2005, actors Ben Affleck and Jenifer Garner both married here too. So if you enjoy living it up like the A-listers of Hollywood, there is no better destination than Turks & Caicos.
5.Natural Beauty
If you are an admirer of nature, then there are very few places with such a variety on show than Turks & Caicos.With its clear waters and beautiful reefs, it is a wonderful place to snorkel or take a boat trip to search for exotic fish.For something completely different, head to Little Water Cay, otherwise known as Iguana Island.
This small island is entirely inhabited by a rare breed of Iguana called Rock Iguanas. There is a constructed path that runs the length of the Cay, allowing you to walk amongst these magnificent creatures.
Turks & Caicos really is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable destinations in the world. If you are struggling to decide this summer, have a good, hard, long think about why you haven’t already chosen these islands.
