Dellis Cay
Dellis Cay is a 560-acre private island located in the Turks and Caicos Islands Archipelago. This island sits south of Parrot Cay and north of Pine Cay. Dellis Cay is located a few miles from Providenciales and accessible by a 20-minute boat ride. This private island got its name from the Dellis family who lived on the island and earned their living by way of sponge farming in the 1950's. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is expected to open up a property in the middle of 2010.

The islands of the Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Dependant Territory found in the Caribbean. This chain of islands are situated just 575 miles southeast of Miami, 30 miles south of the Bahamas, and 90 miles north of the Dominican Republic.

 * I fixed it. Those references aren't much better as they're mostly tourism boards and such. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:09, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
