A PERFECT DAYDREAM
The relaxation begins the moment you touch down: Just north of the Dominican Republic, the Turks & Caicos are home to the COMO Parrot Cay luxury residence, an oasis in the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by magnificently empty beaches. The water here is a comfortable 25 degrees with the clear, turquoise shimmer of glass. Whether you choose a room in the main hotel or one of the elegant beach villas, you’ll soon subscribe to the local mantra: live in the moment and appreciate the world around you. The main building has just a hint of Colonial style about it, and its rooms are outfitted with balconies with a view of the garden or the water. The beach villas feature one or two bed rooms, a private pool on the terrace, a very generous bathroom, open-air shower, and direct access to the beach and ocean. Secluded, privately owned villas also share the grounds, so don’t be too surprised if Bruce Willis happens to pass your way. Like many who own a getaway here, the Hollywood heavy values the comfortable living the hotel has to offer, such as the fantastic and healthy COMO Shambhala cuisine. COMO’s founders based their culinary concept on meals with intelligent portions and creatively combined foodstuffs, the perfect mix of raw and cooked ingredients with specific nutritional values. The cuisine is more than just delicious. It promotes concentration, improves energy, helps maintain blood sugar balance, and cleanses and purifies. The wellness treatments and invigorating natural environment will re-establish inner harmony. Go with the flow!

FEATURES
COMO: the name itself stands for a way of life, a philosophy. Founder Christiana Ong places great emphasis on a holistic approach in which nutrition – we have already sung the praises of the COMO Shambhala cuisine – is no less important than wellness. Every COMO hotel offers free yoga classes. Christiana Ong also runs her own fashion label, Club 21, and her resorts faithfully reflect her exceptional sense of fashion and design. Last, but most certainly not least, sustainability is a fundamental value in protecting both the natural environment and the people involved in the resort’s operation.
