Turks and Caicos · tropical
Salt Cay is a tiny hamlet of roughly 100 people on an island in Turks and Caicos. The climate is tropical. It sits well off the usual tourist trail with average safety for the region. A typical month of living costs around $2,300. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for diving, swimming, quiet days.
È un’isola raggiungibile solo poche volte a settimana, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. Non esiste imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche.
