Parrot Cay by COMO, has a mile-long beach; spa; a great gym; available activities (paddleboarding to surfing to fishing) and excursions galore; fine food; beautiful buildings made from white Caicos stone.

New in autumn 2013, the private-island resort opened a trio of two-bedroom beach houses aimed chiefly at families. You get direct beach access, a private pool, two en-suite bedrooms, a spacious living and dining area, a large outdoor deck, and the services of a COMO butler, who can organise castaway picnics with the children and arrange meals, becoming your chief activity-planner during the stay. Parrot Cay is an especially great option for parents with under-fives. Tailored activities for tots include shell painting, sandcastle competitions, making kites or necklaces from fossilised shark teeth, castaway picnics around the island of Parrot Cay. There's also kid-friendly food, complimentary beach toys, kites and games, and babysitting services. Additional activities are laid on during high-season holidays.
