Three new two-bedroom Beach Houses have recently opened at Parrot Cay by COMO within the Turks and Caicos Islands. They’re the most recent addition to the award-winning private island resort, and feature been designed by Cheong Yew Kuan, the Bali-based architect who also created Donna Karan’s house at the island.
Nestled among sand dunes with uninterrupted ocean views, each detached Beach House has a giant outdoor deck, private pool and direct access to the powder-white beach. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each property with natural light, allowing gentle sea breezes to flow during the open-plan living spaces.
Relaxed Hamptons-style interiors in sun-bleached neutral shades include spacious living and dining areas with fully-equipped kitchens, two bedrooms, each featuring kingsize four-poster beds and huge ensuite bathrooms with private outdoor showers set within their very own gardens. The homes, which might be appropriate to friends or family travelling together, are furnished throughout with COMO’s signature contemporary style and antique pieces from Indonesia. Each Beach House also comes with the exclusive services of a COMO butler.
The houses are situated only a short walk from the infinity pool, which forms the guts of the major Parrot Cay resort, and a five-minute buggy ride from the award-winning COMO Shambhala Retreat at the other side of the island. Here, a whole and sundry wellness programme includes yoga, Pilates and Asian-based treatments reminiscent of shiatsu and Ayurveda, inclusive of signature COMO Shambhala massage therapies. Experienced, intuitive therapists reply to each guest individually and suggestions are made on a consultative in place of prescriptive basis.
