and parents juggling work and home-educating all over again, it’s safe to say it hasn’t been a great start to the year for most families. Yet that’s all the more reason why they’ll need something to keep them going through the latest lockdown. Dreams of a week in the sun, running along a sandy beach and splashing in the sea might be just the thing to blow away the stresses of the past year – and for that, the Caribbean calls. So where can you offer to clients who are keen to travel when restrictions ease? We’ve found some of the best family deals at resorts across the region. The entry requirements listed below were correct at the time of going to press, and all islands were on the UK travel corridors list, but clients should check the latest Foreign Office advice before departure.


TURKS AND CAICOS: COMO PARROT CAY For families after a holiday to remember amid scenes that look almost too perfect to be real, it’s hard to beat the Turks and Caicos Islands – and few resorts are quite so appealing as Como Parrot Cay. “This 1,000-acre private


island is renowned for its mile- long white-sand beach,” says Matt Rushbrooke, director of touring and tailor-made at the Inspiring Travel Company. “But there’s plenty for those looking to get active too, with walking trails, tennis, yoga, Pilates and watersports, plus accommodation catering to everyone from couples through to multigenerational families.” Among its plethora of


family-friendly offerings is a Play by Como activity programme, a dedicated Play Space offering craft areas and an ‘imagination zone’ designed to get kids’ creative juices flowing.²
