A 1,000 acre private island in Turks and Caicos. A celebrity favorite and the quintessential disappear from the world Caribbean retreat.
COMO Parrot Cay is a private island resort in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, spread across roughly 1,000 acres of protected shoreline and reserve. The resort is a longtime retreat for figures in entertainment, fashion, and finance, and neighboring residential estates are held by names such as Keith Richards and Bruce Willis.
The property combines traditional COMO design language with a distinctly Caribbean rhythm. Accommodations include oceanfront rooms and suites in the main resort complex, as well as a portfolio of private beach houses, some of which are owned by individuals and managed by the resort when not in personal use.
Parrot Cay is a boat access only island. Private aircraft arrive at Providenciales International Airport (ICAO: MBPV, IATA: PLS). From the FBO, a short transfer to the COMO boat dock is followed by a roughly forty five minute private boat crossing to the island. A helicopter transfer is available as an alternative.
A truly private island, a dedicated COMO Shambhala wellness program, and the kind of privacy that only a boat in or helicopter in property can deliver.
The only way onto Parrot Cay is by boat or helicopter. This structural privacy, combined with a mile of private beach, makes the resort one of the most discreet places to stay in the Caribbean.
The COMO Shambhala program is a signature draw, offering Ayurvedic treatments, daily yoga, nutritional coaching, and visiting practitioner residencies throughout the year.
Private beach houses ranging from one to five bedrooms offer full estate privacy, dedicated staff, and private pools. These are the preferred option for families and small groups booking extended stays.
Vanbert charters clients to Providenciales International Airport (MBPV) from every major US departure point. South Florida to Providenciales is approximately one hour and thirty minutes on a light or midsize aircraft. Northeast departures are routed non stop on midsize and heavy jets.
At MBPV, private aviation arrivals clear customs at the general aviation terminal, often in fifteen minutes. COMO dispatches a vehicle to the FBO for the short transfer to the Parrot Cay boat dock. From the dock, a dedicated resort boat makes the forty five minute crossing to the island.
For clients who prefer a single seamless transfer, Vanbert arranges a private helicopter transfer directly from MBPV to Parrot Cay. This eliminates the boat leg entirely and is the preferred option for clients with time sensitive schedules or young children.
Clients often combine Parrot Cay with Amanyara, Harbour Island, or Nassau as part of a multi stop Caribbean itinerary. Vanbert coordinates the full sequence, including aircraft staging and fuel planning, as a single booking.
Life on Parrot Cay is intentionally slow. A mile of private beach, a handful of restaurants, two pools, and the COMO Shambhala retreat form the footprint of the resort. There is no town, no traffic, and almost no noise. The loudest thing on the island is usually the surf.
Guests split time between the beach, the wellness programming, the resort kitchen's Asian influenced menus, and private boat excursions through the surrounding reef system. Families favor the beach houses for the combination of space and privacy. Couples often choose ocean suites in the main resort complex.
Arriving by private jet and transferring via resort boat or helicopter is the signature Parrot Cay experience. The journey from the US to the island is long enough to feel like a real retreat, and short enough that you can still be on the beach for dinner.
