Turks and Caicos’ Ambergris Cay Resort Just Expanded Its International Airport
It’s the best private-island resort in Turks and Caicos, and one of the greatest luxury all-inclusive resorts anywhere. What you may not realize about the Ambergris Cay resort is that it also has its own international airport.
And now it’s even bigger.
Ambergris Cay, the private island resort and residential community in Turks and Caicos, has expanded its dedicated international airport ahead of the summer travel season, Caribbean Journal has learned.
The upgrade enhances the resort’s capacity to receive larger private aircraft directly on the island, with the airport now classified as Tier 1. Ambergris Cay is home to one of the longest runways in the Caribbean, and the expansion is aimed at improving access for high-net-worth travelers flying direct.
“Our team believes that the luxury experience should be felt by travelers at every step of the journey,” said Guillaume Aublet, general manager at Ambergris Cay. “We are thrilled to make that point of access even smoother as we expand our international airport capabilities further to welcome larger carriers for direct landings.”
The resort is also adding new transfer options for guests arriving via South Caicos International Airport, which now receives direct flights. Ambergris Cay has arranged for transfer services from South Caicos, complementing the existing connection from Howard Hamilton International Airport in Providenciales. All transfers to the island are complimentary.
In June, Ambergris Cay will also debut a new 19-seat Twin Otter aircraft to accommodate larger groups from both mainland routes.
“By increasing the arrival options among the island and destination, from our larger transfer carrier to the new route from South Caicos, we have created a more seamless journey to an exclusive getaway at Ambergris Cay,” Aublet said.
Ambergris Cay features a mix of standalone bungalows and private villas, including the ten-bedroom Dream Estate, which includes a private spa, gym, two butlers and two chefs. Guests have access to a range of on-island experiences, including whale watching, stargazing, and a boat-access-only floating tiki bar known as the Hangover Bar.
