Best Nature Sustainable Hotels, Resorts, Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Accommodation in Turks and Caicos
Where to stay for nature in Turks and Caicos
The 5 best nature stays in Turks and Caicos lean on the land and sea around them, from Salterra’s 400 kilowatt solar array on quiet South Caicos to Wymara’s ocean to table kitchen on Grace Bay Beach and the six stand alone villas owners live among at Harbour Club Villas & Marina. From the south side of Providenciales to the private sands of Parrot Cay these stays are top rated for living gently with the islands, each one small or certified enough to keep wild Turks and Caicos exactly as you came to find it.
How we choose the best nature stays in Turks and Caicos
What earns a place on this list is how these Turks and Caicos nature stays protect the wild habitat and the creatures around them, like Salterra, which now draws more than half its power from renewables, including a 400 kilowatt solar power array. Because the reef, sand and scrub here are fragile, Salterra shows that a stay can run on clean energy rather than pave over the very wildness guests travel to see.
Salterra leans on that renewable supply to cut the diesel load that pressures these islands, so the air, water and quiet that nature needs in Turks and Caicos stay good for the reef and scrub Salterra sits beside and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct elsewhere, like Wymara Resort + Villas, which earns Green Globe certification and runs a deliberate ocean to table kitchen so its sourcing stays close to the sea around it, and Ocean Club Resorts, which was the first property in the islands to earn Green Globe back in 2021. Because the families and generations who call Turks and Caicos home depend on healthy reef and clean water, protecting that resource the way Wymara Resort + Villas and Ocean Club Resorts do is protecting their own future, and yours.

Top Nature Picks in Turks and Caicos

- Wymara Resort + Villas: A Green Globe certified oceanfront resort on Grace Bay with a deliberate ocean to table kitchen.
- Harbour Club Villas & Marina: A small family owned hideaway of six stand alone villas with the owners living on site.
Harbour Club Villas & Marina is a small family owned eco hideaway of six stand alone villas on the quiet south side of Providenciales, with the owners living on site for over twenty years between Flamingo Lake and the marina.
The grounds are planted with native species like Turk’s head cactus, joewood and sapodilla that draw hummingbirds and bananaquits, and the housekeeping runs on plain vinegar instead of harsh chemicals.
Ocean Club Resorts is a Grace Bay beachfront resort that in 2021 became the first property in Turks and Caicos to earn Green Globe certification, passing the programme's rigorous eco audits.
It has since rolled out solar panels at Ocean Club East with Ocean Club West to follow, alongside LED lighting, water and energy conservation programmes and the removal of plastic straws and Styrofoam in favour of paper.
Salterra is an eco conscious luxury resort on quiet South Caicos that now draws more than half its power from renewables, including a 400 kilowatt solar array with FortisTCI, the first solar project on the island, projected to generate 700,000 kilowatt hours a year.
It produces its own water by reverse osmosis, landscapes with native sea grape, thatch palm and gumbo limbo to cut irrigation, and helped found the South Caicos Coral Reef Consortium for reef restoration while training local fishermen as charter guides.
Wymara Resort + Villas is a Green Globe certified oceanfront resort on Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, with 94 suites and a deliberate ocean to table kitchen at its restaurant Indigo built on regional ingredients.
The resort has stripped out single use plastics resort wide, swapping in wooden key cards and refill stations, and its guest end of stay donation programme has channelled tens of thousands of dollars into the Turks and Caicos Reef Fund for coral restoration.
COMO Parrot Cay is a female founded private island resort in Turks and Caicos, opened in 1998 by COMO's Christina Ong, and certified EarthCheck Silver in 2024.
The island composts over 16,500 kg of food waste a year, is shifting its landscaping to indigenous plants and reuses crushed glass in construction, while its marine science team runs a conservation programme with the NGO Roots2Reef that tags and tracks eagle rays, oceanic whitetip sharks and southern stingrays.
