The Shore Club Turks & Caicos Joins The Leading Hotels of the World
The Shore Club Turks & Caicos has reached an exciting new milestone. The luxury beachfront resort on Long Bay Beach has officially been welcomed into The Leading Hotels of the World, one of the most prestigious collections of independent luxury hotels across the globe.
This recognition places The Shore Club among a select group of properties known for exceptional design, service, and guest experiences. For travelers seeking refined Caribbean escapes, the resort’s inclusion in this renowned portfolio further solidifies its reputation as one of the premier destinations in Turks and Caicos Islands.
Located on the serene shores of Long Bay Beach, The Shore Club offers a distinctive experience that blends sophisticated luxury with the natural beauty of the Caribbean.
A Major Milestone for the Resort
The announcement comes shortly after The Shore Club celebrated its 10th anniversary, making the moment even more meaningful for the resort and its team.
“Being named to Leading Hotels of the World is an incredible way to celebrate ten years of The Shore Club,” said Stan Hartling, CEO of The Hartling Group and owner/operator of the resort.
“This recognition reflects the passion of our team, the attention to detail in our design and service, and the authentic sense of place that has defined the guest experience at The Shore Club.”
Membership in Leading Hotels of the World is highly selective. Each property must meet rigorous standards for hospitality, architecture, culinary offerings, and personalized service. The Shore Club is one of only a handful of resorts in Turks & Caicos to receive this distinction.
A Luxury Resort on Long Bay Beach
While many visitors to Providenciales gravitate toward Grace Bay, Long Bay Beach offers a different kind of luxury experience — quieter, more private, and equally breathtaking.
The Shore Club is the first luxury resort developed on Long Bay Beach, giving guests access to miles of soft white sand and shallow turquoise water that feels worlds away from the crowds.
The setting provides a peaceful atmosphere while still being just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Grace Bay.
Spacious Suites and Oceanfront Villas
One of the features that sets The Shore Club apart from other luxury resorts in Turks & Caicos is the generous size of its accommodations.
The resort’s ocean-view suites are designed to maximize the beauty of the surroundings. Large balconies invite guests to relax while taking in uninterrupted views of the turquoise sea, and every room is positioned to capture the refreshing ocean breeze.
For travelers seeking an elevated experience, the resort’s Estate Villas are among the most exclusive accommodations in the Caribbean.
Each villa offers approximately 8,800 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space directly along the shoreline. Guests enjoy private pools, expansive terraces, private courtyards, and stunning oceanfront master suites — all with full access to the amenities of the resort.
These villas have become especially popular for multigenerational travel, family gatherings, and group vacations.
Dining That Draws Visitors from Across the Island
The Shore Club is also home to some of the island’s most distinctive dining experiences.
At Almond Tree, guests enjoy Southern-inspired cuisine served in a beautifully designed space beneath the restaurant’s signature tree canopy. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it a favorite for both resort guests and locals.
Another standout is SUI-REN, an acclaimed restaurant blending Japanese techniques with bold Peruvian flavors. The menu changes seasonally and highlights fresh ingredients and creative culinary combinations.
The newest addition is the stunning beach and oceanfront setting at Sea Grapes bar and restaurant, serving lunch and the setting for special events.
Together, these restaurants have helped establish The Shore Club as a destination not just for accommodations, but also for exceptional dining.
Wellness and Relaxation by the Sea
For travelers seeking relaxation, the resort’s wellness offerings provide a peaceful retreat.
The Dune Spa is nestled within the natural dunes of Long Bay Beach and features three private spa pavilions surrounded by native vegetation.
Treatments draw inspiration from the elements and are designed to create a sense of balance and tranquility.
Guests can also enjoy wellness experiences such as:
- Yoga in the resort’s yoga pavilion
- Complimentary non-motorized water sports including paddleboards, kayaks and Hobie Cats
- Fitness facilities and wellness programming
The combination of ocean air, natural surroundings, and thoughtful spa design creates an atmosphere that encourages complete relaxation.
Adventure on Land and Sea
While relaxation is a major draw, Long Bay Beach is also known as one of the best places in the Caribbean for active water sports.
The shallow, calm waters make it an ideal location for kiteboarding, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Guests can easily explore the turquoise waters directly from the resort’s beach.
For land-based adventures, visitors can explore Providenciales by bike or enjoy horseback riding along the shoreline — a unique way to experience the island’s natural beauty.
Easy Access from Major Cities
Traveling to Turks & Caicos is surprisingly convenient for North American visitors.
Direct flights to Providenciales International Airport are available from several major U.S. cities including New York, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas. Airlines such as American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, and United Airlines provide regular service.
Travelers from Canada can also fly direct from Toronto and Montreal with Air Canada and WestJet.
With flight times as short as 90 minutes from Miami and around 3–4 hours from New York, Turks & Caicos is one of the most accessible luxury Caribbean destinations.
