While most tourists planning a trip to Turks and Caicos prefer to stay near Grace Bay, they shouldn’t overlook the first hotel on Long Bay Beach - The Shore Club. This incredible resort is on a secluded beach and just minutes away from Providenciales’ town center.

The Shore Club is the newest member of Hartling Group's portfolio of luxury resorts and it's a stunner! This $100 million resort opened in January 2017 features 106 ocean view suites and six luxury villas spanning over 820 feet of pristine beachfront. If you’re looking for a resort that has everything from a large spa, to a kids’ club, to cabanas, then this is the place for you.

PLUS - this resort was named #1 Resort Hotel in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas in 2019 by Travel + Leisure magazine.

Why I love The Shore Club:

#1 - The Location

The Shore Club is located on "the other side" of the island and is about 8-10 minutes from their sister property The Palms. The Shore Club’s convenient location is only 10 minutes away from shopping, local restaurants, entertainment and the world famous Grace Bay Beach and only 15 minutes away from Providenciales International Airport.

When you stay at The Shore Club you’ll have access to a more secluded beach, but can easily get to the downtown area in a matter of minutes.

#2 - The Suites & Villas

The oceanview and oceanfront suites here are incredible!! Absolutely stunning suites that will take your breath away. All rooms are modern with high ceilings and plenty of terrace space. The Shore Club also offers rooms that can connect up to three bedrooms, which is a great option for groups.

The six luxury villas feature an exclusive, private oceanfront setting at The Shore Club’s private white-sand beach. Each of the 8,8000 square foot villas offer total privacy, its own private pool, private courtyard, and expansive terraces. Villas also include a private butler, VIP airport transfers, stocked with drinks and more. Oceanfront villas can be booked with four, five, or six bedrooms.

#3 - The Pools

The pool vibe here is fabulous... relaxed luxury. Stunning pool area! There is "action" without it being obnoxious. I absolutely can see myself going back and hanging at this pool!

The Shore Club has four distinct pools: an adults-only pool, the family-friendly Sea Grapes pool, the elegant Colonnade pool, and their lap pool.

#4 - The Restaurants & Bars

My favorite restaurant at the resort is SUI-REN, which offers Japanese Peruvian cuisine. They have the best sushi on the island and an incredible Friday night sushi happy hour. They've made a name for themselves here!

During your stay, you’ll enjoy:
• SUI-REN – Japanese Peruvian cuisine
• Sea Grapes – beachside restaurant
• The Colonnade – poolside restaurant
• The Courtyard – complimentary breakfast daily
• Four Bars – The Colonnade, The Courtyard, Sea Grapes and the oceanfront Breeze

#5 - Spa and Wellness

The Shore Club features the sumptuous Dune Spa and extensive fitness facilities (private tennis court and even a lap pool!). Daily yoga and pilates can be arranged during your stay with their full-time Master Yogi.

#6 - Groups and Weddings

If you are planning a group event or wedding, you’ll love all of the possibilities at The Shore Club. The resort offers a variety of outdoor and indoor venues, include a 3,000 square foot spectacular meeting space for gatherings from 10-200 guests. Interested in planning a destination wedding?

If you are planning a trip to Turks and Caicos, we highly recommend doing a split stay between this resort on Long Bay and another resort in Grace Bay. This resort is not to be missed and staying in both areas will give you an incredible Turks and Caicos experience!

Cheers to all things travel!
