Going Local in Providenciales

Until two years ago, all of Providenciales’ major resorts were located on the north side of the island. Then The Shore Club became the first to take up residence on Turks and Caicos’ unspoiled Long Bay Beach. The überluxe property provides seclusion along an 800-foot stretch of private beach. Highlights include four pools, three restaurants and the Dune Spa, where treatments take place in one of three wellness cottages—all offering views of the ocean with a soundtrack of lapping waves and melodic birds. Four brand-new villas boast up to six bedrooms, spacious courtyards and private pools.
