Parrot Cay is a small island in the chain of western Caicos Islands . Politically, it belongs to the British overseas territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands and is now privately owned.

The island is the easternmost of a group of about 20 flat sand islands that lie between the west coast of North Caicos and the northeast coast of Providenciales .

Parrot Cay is basically just a hotel complex in the north. The private island has been a refuge for celebrities of all stripes for some time. The visitors included the Clintons, Paul McCartney , Ben Affleck , Robert De Niro or Liam Neeson and Jessica Biel . Bruce Willis , who got married on Parrot Cay, Keith Richards , Christy Brinkley and Donna Karan even own their own property. The property, which belongs to the hotel chain COMO Hotels and Resorts , traded under the name Parrot Cay & COMO Shambhala Retreat and at times belonged to the Leading Hotels of the World association , since 2013 it has been called Parrot Cay By COMO , and there is largely no marketing.

The southeastern parts of the island are largely swampy ; on the north and west coast there are narrow beaches and smaller tourist facilities.
