What’s Inside:

• Featured Real Estate Listing: Escape to Villa Doma

• Up-to-Date Market Info

• Learn Why South Caicos is on the Rise

cleared South Caicos is for takeoff

South Caicos just got a lot closer and a lot more valuable—thanks to American Airlines’ nonstop flights from Miami. Launched on February 15, the twice-weekly service (Wednesdays and Saturdays) marks the island’s first-ever international route. It’s a game-changing connection that’s already sparking new interest and reshaping the real estate conversation.

Locally known as “The Big South,” South Caicos has long been the fishing capital of Turks and Caicos. For years, it’s been the quiet one. But with direct access now in place, it’s stepping into the spotlight, and savvy buyers are paying attention.

In this issue, I’m sharing why South Caicos is on the rise, from new flight access and boutique resorts to land under $150K. Ready to see South Caicos before everyone else does?
