With its untouched white sandy beaches and vast expansive stretches of protected Cockburnland & Sea National Park, the resort offers a wide range of adventures, from water sports to seasonal whale watching.
The calm, crystalline, gentle water provides optimal conditions for diving and snorkeling. Guided tours explore local wildlife, uninhabited islands and natural salt ponds, along with salt discovery experiences.
“Saltera, Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos is more than just a resort. It is a destination for elegance and spirit of the Brian King (Cala) region, president of Marriott International’s Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region. “We are committed to offering our guests a trip to celebrate the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a central part of the resort’s philosophy. The abundant sunlight enhances its operation along with industrial composting systems. Recognizing water restrictions, the resort collects and removes seawater for drinking, harvests rainwater for irrigation, and provides only filtered water dispensers.
Guests can sponsor reef segments through the Coral Reef Adoption Program in collaboration with School for Field Studies (SFS), Turks & Caicos Reef Fund, and the Reef Institute.
“The resort is a destination where luxury and sustainability gather in an extraordinary environment,” said Michael Tibbetz, managing director of Saltera, a luxurious collection resort and spa, Tark & Caicos. “With its untouched beaches and rich cultural heritage, South Caicos indulges in the best experience the Caribbean has to offer, while reunion with nature offers rare opportunities.”
