If your idea of a real vacation is a remote beachfront hotel with blue waters, miles of remote beaches, quiet days and friendly people, Pelican Beach Hotel is the island getaway you want. The small hotel on North Caicos Island, native-built and -owned, offers a relaxing holiday that suits YOU. It's a perfect island getaway and an ideal honeymoon destination.

Located among the Turks and Caicos Islands, North Caicos is a quiet spot known for its ample vegetation, miles of beaches untouched by development, and a rich colonial past. Tourist activities include swimming, snorkeling, diving, fishing, visiting historical sites and, above all, relaxation.

You set the pace at this island getaway. Breakfast and dinner are provided -- hearty fare featuring local specialties -- so you can just relax and enjoy our quiet beach, or visit some of the other remote beaches on North Caicos.

If your interests include bird watching or astronomy, you’re in luck. In addition to a colony of wild flamingos on island, ospreys and pelicans visit the beachfront hotel almost daily, and the night sky is spectacular for stargazing, with very little light pollution. If fishing is what hooks you, you can try your luck in front of the hotel (your catch might be tonight’s dinner!) or we can arrange a boat trip. Nature lovers can explore the untouched beauty of neighboring cays.

Planning an island honeymoon? Secluded beaches and a quiet atmosphere make Pelican Beach Hotel your private retreat.

You’ll be well cared for by owners Clifford and Susie Gardiner. Susie’s reputation as a great cook is widespread. She’ll introduce you to local specialties and preparations of seafood, surprise you with unusual treats (ever hear of fruit cocktail cake?) and she’ll definitely fill you up!

Above all, this beachfront hotel is a place to unwind, disconnect and reclaim the peace that gets lost in today’s busy lifestyles. This is the "un-resort": no schedules, no frenzy, just a relaxed island getaway. We're right on the beach and offer many amenities, but Pelican Beach Hotel isn't fancy ... it's fancy-free!
