Where When How Summer 2012 : Page 71to Stay W What is it that makes the turks & CaiCos islands so speCial? part of the charm is that even our most devel-oped islands are still small-towns, so it’s easy to get to know the people who work and live here. You’ll bump into the same folks over-and-over, within a few days you’ll start to feel as though you’re part of a regular community…but with much better weather, and probably far more umbrella drinks than your own neighbour-hood. our beaches with their impossibly white sand and spectacular turquoise water don’t hurt, and the nearly constant coconut-scented trade winds provide a perfectly cooling breeze. island vibe aside, there exist some very tangible factors that make the turks and Caicos a desirable vacation destination. For example, our use of the us dollar, english-speaking population, and a unique geographical location that keeps us safe from most extreme weather systems in the region. the turks and Caicos islands enjoy about 320 sunny days per year. We have become the adopted home of several very talented chefs, which means we have a number of truly wonderful restaurants to choose from. For the practical minded, we have modern health-care facilities and our little slice of paradise has attracted many skilled and knowledgeable medical professionals, should there be any doubt we are just a little over an hour by air to Florida. a holiday hot spot for less than thirty years, we maintain an unspoiled beauty. Because we can see into the future through a lens trained on our island neighbours, we have an opportunity to see the best practices of others and adapt them to our needs. this is most easily noted within our islands’ resorts, hotels and villas.
