The Meridian Club

"4* | Relais et Châteaux | From €1,200pn It is the only Relais & Châteaux in the Turks and Caicos Islands. No one other than the guests, 28 at most, and the owners of the 36 villas, can enjoy the kilometers of deserted beaches, the mangroves, the seabed rich in fish and corals. Tim Simond, one of the residents, an architect, has just completed a phase of work, between new suites dressed in driftwood, adorned with blue and sand textiles, overlooking the sand and the ocean, and the Tiki Beach Bar. In the evening, guests enjoy the sunset and spicy cocktails before savoring, under the trees, the menu of Costa Rican chefs, Melissa Gonzälez Mesèn and Pablo Cabrera Navarro. Time passes like the sand in an hourglass, between diving and snorkeling, massages and walks on the sandbanks to collect sand dollars, these sun-bleached shells of flat sea urchins from the scutelloid family. Privilege, far from the worries of the world!"
