fp Turks and Caicos

On stands this week is the current issue of Where When How, showcasing island shopping.

If you still think a trip to Miami is required to stay ahead of fashion trends, you’re missing out. Learn about all the fantastic buys available in island stores and from island artists and artisans as I take you shopping, Island Style.

Proof that our destination continues to rise in popularity world-wide, we spend some time chatting with prominent U.S. event planner, Andre Wells, who tells us why the Turks and Caicos make such a great destination for events. We also profile another stunning island wedding by Providenciales’ own wedding and event specialist, NILA Destinations.

As we continue to promote the TCI’s other beautiful islands, I head to Middle Caicos, while Mark Parrish spends some time on South Caicos.

If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate an event on island, look no further. We take a night out at Casablanca Casino, for a birthday party with a unique twist. Dining on island is always a popular social event, and food and wine writer Mandy Rostance-Wolf gives us the lowdown on her favourite dishes at Bella Luna, and then she introduces us to Mango Reef’s chef, Florent Sourmont.

A trip to our Beautiful By Nature islands wouldn’t be complete without taking time to learn about the great outdoors, on land, under the water and in the sky. To help us out, undersea specialist Chris McCandlish tells us everything we need to know about our surprisingly beautiful Sea Slugs, and Kim Mortimer spends some time with the American Oystercatcher.
