The best eco friendly stays in Turks and Caicos, hand picked from solar power, native island planting and single use plastic bans. Find and book your sustainable stay.
Sustainable Stays in Turks and Caicos
Choose the island and accommodation first, then compare the actual systems each property describes. An off grid supply, solar panels connected to the grid and solar hot water provide different services.
How we decide the best place to stay in Turks and Caicos
Each top rated stay in Turks and Caicos is hand picked and checked for sustainability features.
Turks and Caicos is a low lying chain with no rivers and almost no fresh groundwater, so the first thing we look at is how a property powers and waters itself in a place where both are scarce. Salterra answers that on South Caicos with a 400 kilowatt solar power array built with FortisTCI, the first solar project on the island, which draws more than half the resort’s electricity from the sun rather than imported diesel.
With no aquifer to tap, the smartest stays catch what falls instead of trucking it in. Pine Cay runs its entire low impact private island on rainwater harvesting, a closed system of water conservation that suits a 800 acre island with just a handful of cottages and no through traffic.
Because nearly everything on these islands arrives by boat or plane, where the kitchen sources its food tells you a lot about a resort’s footprint. Wymara Resort + Villas leans on the sea on its doorstep with a deliberate ocean to table kitchen at Indigo, built on regional ingredients and local sourcing rather than long haul imports.
Around these reefs the line between hospitality and conservation is thin, so we credit the properties putting real money behind the marine life that draws guests here. COMO Parrot Cay is certified EarthCheck Silver, composts over 16,500 kg of food waste a year and runs a marine conservation programme with the NGO Roots2Reef tagging eagle rays, oceanic whitetip sharks and southern stingrays.
