Parrot Cay, a COMO Shambhala resort in Turks and Caicos, is located 25 minutes by speedboat from Providenciales, on a private, secluded island. Parrot Cay's topography slopes up from the ocean to a ridge along the center of the island, whose elevation is about 50 feet. Crystal clear turquoise waters surround its 3.2 miles of white sand beaches. Groves of cactus and thickly entwined scrub and spreading mangroves and wetlands accent the beauty of this island's 1,000 secluded acres.

The property's allure of lean simplicity is the work of designer Keith Hobs of London's United Designers. He has taken elements of traditional colonial decor, such as four poster beds, and brightened them with lavish use of white fabrics.
