Hotels in Turks And Caicos Islands, Turks And Caicos Islands

Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas, famous for its white-sand beaches and world-class diving. The climate is warm year-round, averaging 80°F (27°C), with dry winters from December to April perfect for snorkeling at Grace Bay on Providenciales, and rainy summers from June to November bringing cheaper stays but risk of hurricanes. For history, head to Grand Turk to see the 19th-century lighthouse and explore the walls of the 1800s salt salinas, while experienced divers can explore the 2,200-foot deep Columbus Passage in summer when the water is calmer.
