Best Certified Sustainable Hotels, Resorts, Eco Lodges and Eco Friendly Accommodation in Turks and Caicos
Where to stay for certified sustainable in Turks and Caicos
The 3 best certified sustainable stays in Turks and Caicos all carry an independent badge to prove it, with Ocean Club Resorts and Wymara Resort + Villas both Green Globe certified and COMO Parrot Cay holding EarthCheck Silver from 2024. From Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, where Ocean Club became the islands’ first Green Globe property in 2021 and Wymara runs an ocean to table kitchen across its 94 suites, to the private island of Parrot Cay, these stays are top rated for sustainability you can verify rather than take on trust.
How we choose the best certified sustainable stays in Turks and Caicos
What earns a place on this list is how these Turks and Caicos certified stays prove their sustainability with independent, audited certification, like Ocean Club Resorts, the first property in the islands to pass Green Globe back in 2021, which means an outside body checks how Ocean Club Resorts really runs rather than taking its word for it. Because Grace Bay is a fragile stretch of reef and white sand, the difference between a resort that is audited and one that simply markets itself as green is the difference between protecting that coast and quietly eroding it.
Ocean Club Resorts earned that Green Globe standard and has to keep proving it, so the water, energy and waste practices behind Ocean Club Resorts stay accountable year after year, which keeps Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos clear and alive for the reef fish and turtles offshore and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct in the rest of the list, like Wymara Resort + Villas, which backs its certification with a deliberate ocean to table kitchen on Grace Bay so Wymara Resort + Villas sources close to home rather than shipping food across the sea, and like COMO Parrot Cay, which reached EarthCheck Silver in 2024 and runs its own private island under that audited standard, meaning COMO Parrot Cay treats the surrounding waters as something to safeguard, not just sell. Because the families and islanders of Turks and Caicos will hand these reefs and beaches to their children, protecting that ocean is protecting their own future, and yours.
