The Turks & Caicos Islands are an undisturbed tropical paradise located south of the Bahamas and north of the D.R in the Caribbean Sea. Because the islands are just a 90-minute flight away from Miami, they have become a top destination for travelers looking for luxurious accommodation and a pristine setting to forget about it all.
