Turks and Caicos’ Sailrock hotel is now part of the Hyatt umbrella, thanks to Hyatt’s new strategic alliance with the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection.

That means the South Caicos property is now available to World of Hyatt members, and that the hotel is now bookable on Hyatt’s platforms.

“This important alliance helps to let more of the world learn of an exceptional property in a secluded part of the Caribbean, yet so easily accessible from the U.S. mainland,” said Kashmie Ali, managing director of Sailrock, which debuted at the beginning of 2017.

Sailrock also said the alliance meant that Hyatt members could redeem points for stays at the hotel.

The property, which is a mix of suites and villas, is a 20-minute flight from Providenciales.
