Seven Stars Resort Official Website > Our Island > Overview

The Turks & Caicos Islands
The Turks & Caicos islands remain one of the last unspoiled bastions of Caribbean beauty. Despite their proximity (only 70 minutes from Miami by air), many have never heard of this archipelago. Of the 40 islands that compose the nation, only 8 are inhabited.

The turquoise waters, barrier reef, and pearly beaches led Conde Nast to designate Seven Stars' location among the Best Tropical Beaches in the World. Rolling hills flecked with wild cotton and yellow orchids rise above the sparkling waters. In addition, island hosts a wealth of wildlife preserves.

Though the Turks & Caicos are in the tropics, temperatures average a comfortable 83 Fahrenheit (29 Celsius). Cooling trade winds breathe tranquility into every corner of the resort.

Government - The Turks & Caicos Islands are a British Crown Colony. This nation has had a stable political system for 175 years.

Language - English

Currency - The US dollar is the official currency of Turks and Caicos. Most hotels, restaurants and taxi services accept traveler's cheques, which can be cashed at local banks. Most credit cards are accepted and banks offer ATM's as well as cash advances on credit cards.

Electricity - 110 volt/60 cycle, suitable for U.S. appliances.
