The Meridian Club, Pine Cay - Turks & Caicos Private island, hideaway resort with two miles of white-sand beach
Pine Cay is a secluded 800-acre island, conveniently located just 560 miles southeast of Miami. The only resort on the island, the Meridian Club is beautifully positioned on a two-mile stretch of talcum-powder beach, considered one of the finest in the Caribbean. Soothing trade winds ensure comfortable temperatures and low humidity year round.
The Club is an environmentally sensitive resort, ideal for those seeking an unspoiled retreat. Its 12 rooms and the Sand Dollar Cottage are set among sand dunes, sea oats and sea grapes, and close to the beach. Some of the privately owned cottages that share the island are also available for rent.
The resort is well known for its excellent cuisine, attentive staff, and "barefoot elegance." Its rooms and cottages, tucked along the shoreline and dunes, all offer panoramic views of the ocean and the island.
The two-story Clubhouse -- with its indoor restaurant, bar and guest lounge -- overlooks a shimmering pool and the Caribbean Sea. There are outdoor dining areas on the terrace and in a colorful tropical garden, facing the beach with its thatched "shade huts" and sunning chairs.
Guests spend their days relaxing and/or taking advantage of the resort's many extraordinary activities. Options include swimming, biking, sailing, shelling, snorkeling, playing tennis, and swimming in the fresh-water pool. The staff can arrange exceptional bone-fishing and deep-sea fishing, plus excursions to nearby Turks & Caicos islands.
