The Meridian Club — Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos

Imagine your own private island hideaway resort with two miles of white-sand beach. Located in the Turks and Caicos Islands, this Caribbean retreat is unparalleled. 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 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. Choose to relax in one of just 12 spacious beachfront guest rooms, the secluded Sand Dollar cottage, or an intimate collection of private cottages. Whether enjoying a romantic escape, a family adventure or fun in the sea and sun, you'll find the aquamarine waters and sugary sand irresistible. Barefoot informality and sensitivity to the natural environment combine to provide an alluring tropical setting for this small, unspoiled and sun-drenched retreat. Oceanview dining, candlelit dinners, poolside barbecues, deserted island picnics - all will become fond memories of your stay at the Meridian Club. Dress at the Club is always casual and shoes are optional, even at dinner. Bathing suits with cover-ups or sport clothes are the norm at lunch. Informal summer evening clothes for ladies, and sport shirts, slacks and even shorts for men, are perfect for dinner. We have had only one or two necktie sightings on Pine Cay in the last ten years.

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. 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.
