Approximately 75 minutes flight from Miami, the Turks & Caicos islands cover 193 square miles of Atlantic Ocean. These islands boast the third largest coral reef system in the world and are a perfect destination for visitors in search of pristine stretches of sand and fabulous fishing, snorkling and diving. There are over 40 islands and small cays only eight of which are inhabited. The surrounding crystal clear turquoise waters teem with marine life. Each island has something different to offer, from the main tourist center of Providenciales to the quiet and tranquil islands of North and Middle Caicos and the inhabited cays, Parrot Cay and Pine Cay, privately owned islands which are home to exclusive resorts. These islands are home to the third largest coral reef system in the world, some of the best beaches on the planet and the biggest cave network in the Caribbean.
Island Inns specializes in luxury hotels and villas throughout the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
