South Caicos Hotels & Resorts
South Caicos has two main accommodations. Sailrock Resort is found on the secluded Long Beach on the northern peninsula of South Caicos. Ocean and Beach Resort is located near to the main town of Cockburn Harbour. Another project, Salterra Resort & Spa, is due to open in 2025 on Salterra Beach.
Amenities
Guest amenities vary depending on the resort. Sailrock includes the use of kayaks, paddleboards, Hobie Cat sailboats, and snorkeling gear.
The Ocean and Beach Resort is within a short bike ride of the small groceries stores of Cockburn Harbour, the island’s primary settlement.
South Caicos has quite a few varied and impressive coasts, however, only a few beaches are excellent for general swimming. Salterra Beach and The Cove Beach offer the finest ocean conditions.
Traveling to South Caicos from Providenciales
All scheduled international flights to the Turks and Caicos land at the Providenciales International Airport (PLS).
There are two regularly scheduled ways to get from Providenciales to South Caicos: a domestic flight on a small plane and a passenger ferry. Both are similar in cost.
The flight is of course the faster option at under 20 minutes. Carrier interCaribbean offers several daily flights, typically on 15-seat turboprop Beech 99s or Beech King Airs. These aircraft are not very large, so there may be luggage constraints, especially for those bringing water sports equipment such as kiteboarding gear.
Caribbean Cruisin' offers a twice-weekly passenger ferry service, which takes under two hours each way. The ferry may be the better choice for those with large amounts of luggage.
Charter flights and ferry services can be arranged as well, and may make sense for groups.
Ongoing Projects, Development, and Real Estate
South Caicos has begun to see a change with several projects that have begun over recent years.
The Sailrock project is one such example, and offers both vacation accommodation and private ownership. Sailrock Resort is located on the secluded northern peninsula overlooking both Long Beach to the east and the scenic Bell Sound to the west. Vacant land and completed luxury villas are available.
Vacation Rental Villas
At this time, there are no rental villas or bed and breakfast type accommodations available other than what’s offered through the full-service resorts.
