The hottest new hotel in Turks and Caicos has just made another major addition: three standalone oceanfront “estate” villas.

The $100 million property, which opened last year on Providenciales’ Long Bay Beach, features a total of 108 ocean view suites on its 850-foot-long stretch of beach on Long Bay.

Each of the new estate villas, which will officially debut Jan. 1, boasts 8,800 square feet of living space, with six bedrooms, including five in the main house and one detached, along with a private heated pool, a private courtyard, expansive terraces and a personal concierge. The villas also feature private elevators.

“Visitors to Turks and Caicos no longer need choose between staying at a five-star resort or renting a luxurious free-standing private estate. The Villas at The Shore Club offer the best of both,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Karen Whitt. “Construction has ended at The Shore Club and we are perfectly poised for an outstanding winter season. We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests alike as we celebrate the success of the resort’s first year.”
