The Shore Club debuted just last year and is the first and only resort on Long Bay Beach. It’s a soulful place with an active energy that transcends throughout the entire resort, easily combining the Caribbean lifestyle with a vibrant collection of individual experiences. Guests will have the option to learn locally cultivated activities such as kite-boarding – not to mention there are four pools, direct access to the 2.5-mile secluded Long Bay Beach and a wide range of water activities. In January, the resort unveiled three new luxury oceanfront villas adjacent to the property, offering resort amenities to guests. The Palms is a 72 suite resort located right on the famed Grace Bay Beach. The resort boasts an award-winning 25,000 sq. ft.
