At The Resort, sustainability is not a trend. It is a core operating principle that informs every aspect of the guest experience. Long before environmental responsibility became an industry expectation, The Resort invested in systems that protect natural resources, support Jamaican communities, and shape a deeper and more authentic expression of Caribbean luxury.

Today, The Resort is entering its most ambitious chapter. Through the introduction of a large-scale agrivoltaic Solar Garden, expanded renewable energy generation, regenerative agriculture, clean water systems, plastic-free guest touchpoints, and a culinary program centered around fresh local sourcing, The Resort is demonstrating how nature and luxury can enhance one another.

The following is a comprehensive look at how The Resort is leading the next generation of sustainable hospitality in Jamaica.

The Solar Garden: A Landmark Project for Jamaica’s Green Future

The Solar Garden at The Resort is a multi-stage renewable energy and regenerative agriculture initiative that will position the property as one of the most environmentally advanced resorts in the Caribbean.

The project begins with a deliberate and strategic first step. A sixty-three-panel pilot system is being installed on the roof of The Resort’s new mixed-use warehouse and office building, which is currently under construction. This initial array will generate approximately 125kWh per day, totaling 45,000 kWh of clean energy per year.  Just as important, it allows the engineering and maintenance teams to become fully familiar with the equipment, energy monitoring software, and electrical integration required for high-performance solar operations. It is a hands-on learning environment designed to prepare the team for the much larger Solar Garden.

Building on this foundation, The Resort advances to Phase One: a major agrivoltaic installation comprising 1,000 elevated solar panels spanning 5 acres. The elevated design creates a canopy of filtered sunlight that produces clean power above while supporting year-round agriculture below.

The Resort then moves into Phase Two, adding 400 additional panels, bringing the full Solar Garden system to 1,463 panels across all phases.

Together, these systems can produce more than 1.24 million kilowatt hours of solar energy each year. After adjusting for real-world performance, the Solar Garden is expected to deliver approximately 990,000 kilowatt hours annually, generating about 118 percent of The Resort’s current total electrical demand. This makes The Resort effectively energy neutral, with clean surplus energy feeding into the Jamaican grid.

The environmental impact is equally significant. The Solar Garden reduces more than 600 metric tons of carbon emissions every year, while supporting Jamaica’s national goal of achieving 50 percent renewable energy by 2030. It positions The Resort as a leader within Jamaica’s Global Green Economy framework and serves as a working model of climate-resilient hospitality.

An Elevated Solar Field That Nourishes the Land

The Solar Garden is built on a raised steel framework approximately ten feet above the ground, with each row spaced ten feet apart. This design provides filtered sunlight that protects crops from harsh midday heat, reduces evaporation, and creates a stable microclimate ideal for both hydroponic and soil-based farming. Renewable energy is generated above, while abundant agriculture grows below.

This integration of energy and agriculture makes the land more productive, more resilient, and more aligned with the rhythms of Jamaica’s natural environment.

Preparing for a Smarter Energy Future

The Solar Garden has also been designed with an eye toward a future in which Jamaica Public Service introduces a national Demand Response program. Demand Response systems are already well established in the United States, where they help stabilize electrical grids in major cities such as New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as in smaller towns, including Westport in Connecticut, Holland in Michigan, and Portland in Maine. These programs reward businesses that can temporarily reduce their dependence on the power grid during peak usage, helping utilities prevent brownouts and manage costs.

The Resort is already preparing to participate in such a program should JPS decide to introduce one. Because The Resort can take its entire property off the grid during periods of high demand, it can help maintain grid stability across the wider community. This reduces the need for JPS to invest in costly new supply capacity and helps ensure that available power is used where it is needed most during stress events.

This approach is also a natural complement to modern metering systems, which encourage commercial properties to play an active role in strengthening the national grid. In the same way that The Resort’s reverse osmosis system reduces the strain on Jamaica’s water supply during peak periods, the Solar Garden allows The Resort to support the electrical system during times of high demand. Together, these investments demonstrate a forward-looking commitment to the resilience and long-term strength of Jamaica’s essential infrastructure.

Hydroponics and Soil Farming in Perfect Harmony

Beneath the elevated solar array, The Resort has created an agricultural ecosystem that blends hydroponic production with traditional soil farming to support year-round harvests.

• Hydroponic Farming Using Nutrient Film Technology

The hydroponic system uses nutrient film technology, in which a thin stream of nutrient-rich water flows beneath the roots of lettuces, herbs, and leafy greens. This method uses up to 90 percent less water than traditional agriculture and produces exceptional freshness for The Resort’s culinary team.

• Soil-Based Farming for Tropical Diversity

Adjacent soil beds support peppers, callaloo, ginger, tomatoes, bananas, and a variety of tropical crops that thrive with natural root depth and healthy soil. This creates a rich and diverse agricultural base that complements the hydroponic system.

Together, these methods will provide nearly all of The Resort’s fresh greens and herbs, allowing many ingredients to be served within minutes of harvest, bringing guests an unmatched level of freshness and flavor.

Raised Beds Built from Recovered Trees

The Solar Garden also incorporates a circular land stewardship practice that ensures every tree removed from the site continues to serve a purpose. When trees must be cleared during land preparation or safety management, The Resort saves all usable wood rather than discarding it. This supports two important sustainability programs.

First, The Resort continues to handcraft all its wood furniture in-house, including its signature four-poster beds. High-quality lumber is milled at The Resort’s workshop and transformed into custom furniture for guest rooms, villas, and shared spaces. This greatly reduces the need for imported furniture and celebrates Jamaican craftsmanship.

Second, wood unsuitable for furniture is repurposed for Hügelkultur, a regenerative agricultural practice in which logs, branches, and woody plant material are layered beneath raised planting beds. Over time, the wood decomposes, enriching the soil with organic matter, improving moisture retention, and creating a living nutrient reservoir. Hügelkultur mimics the natural cycles of the forest floor, where fallen trees nourish the next generation of growth.

Through this approach, every tree contributes to the environmental mission of The Resort, either by becoming handcrafted furniture or by enriching the soil that feeds the next season’s crops.

Laying Hens and a Regenerative Soil Cycle

The Solar Garden includes rotational paddocks for laying hens that move naturally through shaded orchard areas. As they scratch the earth, the hens aerate the soil, control pests, and fertilize the land. Their presence strengthens fruit yields and provides fresh eggs for The Resort’s kitchens.

Their daily movement forms part of a regenerative cycle that enriches the land without chemical inputs or mechanical disturbance.

A Closed Loop of Culinary Sustainability

All organic kitchen waste from The Resort is composted and returned to the Solar Garden. This creates a full closed loop in which leftovers become soil nutrition and enriched soil becomes future harvests. The system reduces waste, supports soil fertility, and strengthens local food resilience.

Combined with the farm’s expanding production, this system supports a more independent culinary operation and reduces reliance on refrigerated transportation and imported goods.

A New Culinary Philosophy Rooted in Local Sourcing

The Resort has already transitioned away from extensive use of frozen or imported items. Today, The Resort sources ingredients from Jamaican farmers, fishermen, and regional producers. This reduces emissions, strengthens the local economy, and provides guests with flavors that are brighter, fresher, and more reflective of Jamaica’s agricultural heritage.

As the Solar Garden reaches full maturity, even more of The Resort’s produce, herbs, fruits, and eggs will come directly from its own land.

Water That Is Clean, Conserved, and Reused

• Greywater Reuse and Sewage Processing

For more than a decade, The Resort has processed all on-site sewage and reclaimed its greywater for irrigation. This allows the property to maintain lush landscaping without drawing heavily from the local water supply.

• Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water

A new reverse osmosis purification system is being installed to produce clean, mineral-balanced drinking water on site. Guest rooms will feature this water in reusable glass bottles, sanitized and refilled at The Resort.

• Advanced Low Flow Technology

Digitally-controlled Toto Neorest toilets and water-efficient fixtures help further reduce water use without compromising comfort.

Plastic Free Guest Touchpoints

Sustainability is reflected in the smallest moments of the guest experience. Throughout the resort, It is replacing unnecessary plastics with thoughtful, renewable alternatives.

Guest-facing practices include:

• Wooden room keys and wristbands
• Nespresso coffee makers use recyclable aluminum pods that are filled on-site with world-class Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee
• Reusable in-room glass water bottles are produced and sanitized at The Resort

Each detail reduces waste while elevating the beauty and intentionality of the guest experience.

A Clean and Quiet Arrival Experience

Beginning in 2026, guests will enjoy airport transfers in all-electric BMW i7 sedans. These vehicles will be charged directly from The Resort’s Solar Garden, ensuring every arrival and departure is powered by clean, renewable energy produced on The Resort’s own land.

The quiet and seamless drive offers an immediate sense of calm and reflects the Resort’s commitment to responsible luxury. It sets the tone for the days that follow and serves as a natural extension of the sustainability values embedded throughout The Resort.

Leadership in Climate Resilient Hospitality

The Solar Garden and its related initiatives create skilled green jobs, stabilize energy costs, strengthen the local food supply, and reduce environmental impact across every part of The Resort’s operations.

At The Resort, sustainability is not the cost of luxury. It is the expression of it.

It is how a modern resort cares for the island and the people who call it home.

Epilogue: Resilience in the Wake of Hurricane Melissa

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, it became the most powerful storm ever recorded on the island. Communities across the country faced unprecedented devastation, with many hotels and resorts announcing closures that would last for months. Yet through the force of the storm and the difficult days that followed, The Resort remained open, operational, and committed to serving both its guests and its neighbors.

Thanks to The Resort’s existing backup systems for power, water, and satellite communications, The Resort continued operating without interruption. Our team remained fully employed, our guests remained comfortable, and our neighbors found a welcoming place to connect with the outside world. The Resort provided complimentary internet and phone access to those who needed it most, along with charging stations for handheld devices when the community was without power.

During this time, The Resort also provided more than 100 complimentary meals each day to our staff and contractors. While the wider community remained dark and the water main dry, The Resort’s operational resilience allowed us to continue preparing fresh, nourishing meals and supporting our team when it mattered most.

In a moment when no one was watching and the need was greatest, The Resort stepped forward as a steady, dependable neighbor. The experience affirmed a simple truth. Sustainability is not only about long-term planning. It is about having the strength and resources to support the community when everything else fails.

The Solar Garden and the related systems described in this article are investments in that future. They ensure that The Resort can continue to operate through the unexpected, care for its staff, serve its guests, and extend a helping hand to the broader community. They are not only environmental commitments. They are commitments to resilience, responsibility, and the belief that a modern resort should be a source of strength for the community it calls home.

We’re excited to announce that We Gotta Thing, the leading podcast for thoughtful couples in consensual non-monogamous relationships, has been granted the exclusive first look at The Resort—the lifestyle’s newest and only members-only, 5-star luxury property. Hosted by Mr & Mrs Jones, We Gotta Thing will introduce this one-of-a-kind destination to their global audience beginning on June 20, 2025, as part of a 3-part series.

An Exclusive Reveal in the World of Lifestyle Travel

As the only lifestyle property of its kind—private, members-only, and crafted to 5-star standards—The Resort represents a new benchmark in curated luxury experiences. We’re proud to share our story first through a platform that mirrors our values: depth, connection, respect, and exploration.

For nearly a decade, Mr & Mrs Jones have built an engaged, intelligent, and open-minded listener base. Their podcast has become a trusted space for couples navigating ethical non-monogamy with intention and authenticity. Their audience is precisely the type of discerning traveler and thoughtful guest for whom The Resort was created.

A Shared Philosophy of Connection and Comfort

At The Resort, we believe that true luxury is about more than amenities—it’s about emotional comfort, respectful space, and authentic moments. These principles align perfectly with the tone and purpose of We Gotta Thing. Like the podcast, The Resort invites guests to be themselves in an environment that feels welcoming, elevated, and profoundly human.

Looking Ahead: A Candid Conversation in July

Following the exclusive June 20 introduction, Mr & Mrs Jones will sit down with the founder of The Resort in July for an in-depth conversation. The episode will offer an inside look at how this unique property was conceived and brought to life, and what members can expect in the months and years ahead.

Tune In & Discover

Whether you’re a longtime We Gotta Thing listener or discovering the podcast for the first time, this collaboration marks a milestone in lifestyle travel. The June 20th episode will be the first public reveal of The Resort—and a glimpse into the future of luxury for those who value privacy, connection, and exceptional experiences.

We invite you to listen in and discover why The Resort is unlike anything the lifestyle has seen.

One of the quiet luxuries of membership at The Resort is complimentary, climate-controlled wine storage, which allows members to keep their favorite bottles on hand without worrying about airport restrictions, tariffs, or tropical heat. The goal is simple: you should be able to enjoy the exact wine you love, whenever the mood strikes, in the company of friends who appreciate the gesture.

Why We Don’t Stock a 50,000-Bottle Cellar.

Visitors often ask why we don’t emulate the massive cellars of big-city restaurants such as one of our personal favorites, Opus in Toronto’s Yorkville district. We believe that participating in an open relationship, or celebrating the lifestyle as a couple, should not require that you lower your standards when on holiday. The more practical answer is rooted in Caribbean realities:

• Electricity in the Caribbean costs four to six times more per kilowatt-hour than in most U.S. cities, turning large-scale refrigeration into both a sustainability and cost challenge.
• Jamaica funds its government primarily through import tariffs rather than payroll or property taxes; every case of wine pays a premium at the dock.
• Logistics rarely align with variety. A bottle of St-Émilion that lands flawlessly in Aspen can take weeks to clear customs in Kingston, often arriving well past its prime drinking window.

Rather than force members to choose from a narrow, rotating list—or subsidize a cellar so broad and with labels only a few truly love—we built chilled wine lockers so you can stock your personal favorites whenever you travel. 

The South Carolina Tradition That Inspired Us.

“Friends… must bring their best bottle – no hoarding allowed.”

The idea took shape after our founders swapped stories with a couple from South Carolina who received regular allocations of Sea Smoke and frequently sought out big California reds and Napa cult wines. Every few months, they gather with a group of friends for a gourmet dinner where each couple must bring their best bottle, no hoarding allowed. The ritual transforms “someday” wines into shared memories: a 2005 Château Margaux, savored at its peak elegance, paired with Charleston shrimp and grits.

We want the same spirit here. Picture arriving at your cliff-top villa, your butler decanting a treasured Brunello while the sea breeze crosses the terrace, and sharing first pours with friends who value both the gesture and the juice. The lockers make that moment possible any weekend, not just on milestone birthdays.

How To Get Started.

First, reach out to The Resort’s Member Services Team and inform them that you would like a wine locker and specify the date you plan to arrive.  Next, consider acquiring a Vin Garde Valise (https://vingardevalise.com/) to transport your favorite vintages safely.

When you are ready to pop the cork, whether to enjoy with a meal or for private tastings, we can arrange Riedel stemware, Coravin access for by-the-glass sampling, or a pairing menu with our executive chef or visiting guest chefs.

From the Brim to The Dreggs

“Great wine has a way of turning any sunset into the right occasion.”

As Frank Sinatra croons in It Was a Very Good Year, the finest bottles are meant to be enjoyed “from the brim to the dregs.” At The Resort we take that lyric to heart: whether you decant a venerable Pauillac or a straightforward Sonoma Chardonnay, we want every drop shared in good company. Great wine has a way of turning any sunset into the right occasion—so stock your personal locker, cue Old Blue Eyes, Rod Stewart, or Robbie Williams on the terrace speaker, and raise a glass while the Caribbean sky blushes into night.

In a powerful affirmation of operational excellence, the future home of The Resort has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2025 Travelers’ Choice Award Winner, placing it among the Top 10% of hotels worldwide. This prestigious honor reflects consistently high traveler ratings, exceptional service, and a hospitality standard that aligns with the best hotels around the globe.

For future members and guests, this award offers meaningful assurance: The Resort is being built on a platform already delivering a world-class experience.

What the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award Means

Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards are based on a comprehensive analysis of traveler reviews and ratings collected over the past year. Only the top 10% of hotels worldwide earn this distinction — a recognition that cannot be bought or sponsored, but must be consistently earned through exceptional guest experience, hospitality, and reputation.

To receive this award in 2025 is significant — but it builds upon a longstanding legacy of excellence.

A Proven Track Record of Hospitality

The current management team behind The Resort has consistently delivered award-winning service. Under their leadership, the property was previously recognized as the #1 Luxury Hotel in the Caribbean in both 2017 and 2018, and ranked #5 for Romance in the Caribbean in 2017 by Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards.

These honors are more than historical footnotes — they represent a deep, sustained commitment to quality, service, and guest satisfaction over time. And importantly, the same trusted team responsible for these achievements will be retained as the property transitions to its new identity as a private, members-only resort.

Why This Recognition Matters

As The Resort evolves into a private destination, the integrity and quality of the guest experience remain the top priorities. From proactive concierge outreach and discreet, high-touch service to anticipatory dining and 24-hour room service, every detail is carefully crafted to reflect a standard of care that has already proven to meet the highest global expectations.

Guests can expect a level of hospitality that honors tradition while embracing modern luxury, including top-optional and clothing-optional pool experiences, a strong culture of decorum, and elevated amenities tailored to each return visit.

A Legacy of Excellence, Carried Forward

The 2025 Travelers’ Choice Award is the latest in a series of accolades earned by the team now leading The Resort’s evolution. With top honors in prior years for both luxury and romance, the foundation has already been laid for an experience that is deeply refined, highly personalized, and globally respected.

As The Resort opens its doors to a new chapter, guests will be welcomed into a destination that’s not only new in name — but deeply rooted in a legacy of excellence.

Most hotel concierges wait for you to arrive. They stand by, ready to assist—if you ask. But at The Resort, your experience begins long before you set foot on the island. Once your reservation is complete through The Resort’s app, our dedicated Member Services Team springs into action, proactively shaping your stay to be effortless and personalized. Drawing from our expertise in luxury hospitality, our team doesn’t just answer questions—we anticipate your needs, ensuring every detail is curated specifically for you from the moment you arrive.

From arranging car services or private charters to stocking your suite or villa with your preferred snacks, beverages, and favorite champagne, each detail is customized.

Perhaps you’d like to connect with local road cyclists or embark on a scuba diving adventure to explore nearby reefs and shipwrecks. Maybe your partner loves orchids, and you’d appreciate one waiting on the dressing table upon arrival. If you’re a book enthusiast, our Book Concierge can visit your room with specially selected volumes. Or perhaps one of our chefs could prepare an exquisite private dinner in your villa. Would you enjoy arriving to your favorite music playing softly, your suite’s temperature perfectly set—or perhaps doors wide open, curtains fluttering in the ocean breeze?

Rejuvenate during your stay with private yoga sessions, personalized training sessions, or even a Peloton delivered right to your suite. Perhaps you prefer a masseuse waiting to help you unwind after your journey.

Looking for Something Truly Special?

Let’s explore beyond the property. Immerse yourself in the lush tropical paradise surrounding us, abundant with edible plants and exotic fruits. We can arrange guided botanical tours through nearby jungles, showcasing Jamaica’s remarkable natural richness. History buffs might enjoy a private session with an academic expert, exploring the cultural landmarks that shaped this vibrant island nation.

Consider extending your experience with a fully-crewed yacht charter, discovering secluded coves and untouched beaches. Whatever your ideal getaway looks like, our Member Services Team will create it exactly as you envision.

Special Occasions Are Our Specialty

Celebrating a birthday or anniversary? We likely already know. Anticipating and preparing for your milestone moments is part of what makes The Resort unique. If it slips your mind, we’ll gently remind you, ensuring no detail is overlooked. From private sunset dinners on the cliffs to custom floral arrangements or champagne toasts on your terrace, we specialize in making your special days memorable.

For an extraordinary experience, consider an exclusive buyout of our boutique Caribbean sanctuary. Whether you’re exchanging vows, renewing them privately, celebrating a milestone event, hosting a business retreat, or planning a private concert featuring your favorite Grammy-winning artist, our team will execute every detail flawlessly. Whatever your dream, let us know, and we’ll bring it to life with the meticulous care and luxurious attention that defines The Resort.

A True Homecoming for Our Members

Members of our Residence Program enjoy an even more seamless experience. Your clothing, toiletries, sporting equipment, and favorite wines—all stored, cleaned, and ready—await in your room before arrival. There’s no check-in process or front desk delays.

Instead, we ensure a graceful, uninterrupted transition from airport to paradise. You’ll be greeted immediately upon arrival, expedited through immigration and customs, and escorted directly to The Resort, where familiar faces—and new friendships—await. Imagine stepping into your favorite suite or villa to find cherished photos from past visits, your favorite beverages chilled, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like coming home.

Because at The Resort, you’re not simply a guest. You’re part of our community. And we believe your getaway should be more than just a trip—it should be a homecoming to a place that feels made just for you.

The post We Begin Before You Arrive first appeared on The Resort.

For those fortunate enough to visit The Resort, some will quickly notice what’s intentionally absent.

A Space Designed with Intent

To begin, our centrally located pool is designated as “toptional,” a term popularized by upscale Las Vegas resorts offering European-style pool environments. This means topless sunbathing is permitted, though swimwear covering the genitals is required. For those who prefer sunbathing au-naturel, plans are underway to introduce a discreet clothing-optional pool on the property’s perimeter. However, this will be an additional amenity rather than a focal point of The Resort.

No “Playmakers,” No Gimmicks—Only Elevated Experiences

Unlike many resorts and venues, there are no “playmakers” orchestrating scripted activities or competitions focused on sexual interactions. Likewise, there are no public playrooms. Based on extensive guest feedback, the simple truth remains that our guests value discretion, comfort, and refined surroundings rather than shared, overtly sexual spaces.

Instead, guests can expect unparalleled personal comfort and privacy. Our 24-hour room service ensures rooms can be refreshed at any time, with fresh linens discreetly delivered upon request. This approach emphasizes elegance, privacy, and refined indulgence rather than theatrical displays or forced interactions.

Elevated Dining Experiences

At The Resort, our commitment to elevated experiences extends beyond accommodations to our dining venues. Each restaurant maintains specific dress codes to enhance the ambiance and ensure an environment of sophisticated comfort. These standards are intended to elevate the dining experience, creating memorable and refined moments.

Designed for the Sapiosexual

Perhaps the essence of The Resort is best captured by a guest who, after experiencing our property, remarked, “So, you’re creating a private Four Seasons in the Caribbean for sophisticated lifestyle travelers?”

Our clear response was, “Precisely.”

At its heart, The Resort caters to the sapiosexual—individuals who find intelligence, depth, and meaningful connections deeply appealing. As our founder once noted, “Great sex starts between the ears, not the thighs.” This philosophy permeates every aspect of The Resort, from the thoughtful design and amenities to meticulously curated experiences aimed at stimulating both mind and senses.

Here, desire emerges from conversation, chemistry, and shared moments of refined pleasure.

Welcome to The Resort—where intellect, sophistication, and sensuality come together.

At The Resort, we offer a variety of membership tiers to suit our guests’ diverse needs and preferences. Each membership level is designed to provide a unique blend of privileges and services, ensuring that every member enjoys their time at the resort to the fullest. Whether you’re a frequent visitor or seeking exclusive access, there’s a membership tier that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle.

Importantly, these tiers are not designed to elevate one member’s experience over another. All members receive the same level of service, room options, and access to amenities. The variation in tiers reflects practical differences, such as guest allowances and advanced booking windows, to accommodate different travel preferences and usage levels.

Resort Membership

The standard Resort Membership is $2,500 per year per couple, with adjusted rates for singles ($1,250) and throuples ($3,750). This tier provides an excellent balance of value and benefits. Resort Members staying for at least four nights receive complimentary arrival service and ground transportation for a seamless beginning to their stay.

Members in this tier may invite up to two guests to join them at the resort and can request that clothing, personal items, or sporting equipment be stored securely at The Resort between visits.

Junior Membership

Designed for guests aged 35 and under, Junior Membership includes all the benefits of the standard Resort Membership at a reduced rate of $1,250 per year for couples and $625 for individuals. This rate remains valid until the member reaches age 36, making it an ideal option for younger travelers seeking full access at a more accessible price point.

Villa Membership

The Villa Membership, priced at $3,500 per year, is ideal for those who prioritize access to our exclusive on-site villas. It includes all Resort Membership benefits, plus several enhancements. Villa Members may invite up to four guests to join them on the property and benefit from an extended villa booking window—90 days earlier than Resort or Junior Members.

Villa Membership is required for all members aged 50 and above. This ensures that senior members can enjoy greater flexibility and guaranteed access to preferred accommodations during peak times, special events, and concerts hosted at The Resort.

Equity Members

Equity Members have invested financially in The Resort. This tier offers the highest level of access and exclusivity. Equity Members enjoy the earliest booking windows and may invite up to eight guests, making it ideal for those who frequently travel with larger groups of friends or family.

This membership also includes access to private amenities such as wine storage and select invitations to exclusive events held at the resort.

Premier Membership

Premier Membership is intended for those who seek the same privileges as Equity Members without having participated in the original acquisition of The Resort. For $25,000 per year, Premier Members receive identical booking windows, guest allowances, and personalized amenities. This tier also includes invitations to exclusive events and eligibility to participate in future opportunities related to the resort’s growth and expansion.

Extended Stays Welcome

All members are welcome to extend their stay at The Resort from weeks to months. For those who telecommute, have flexible schedules, or enjoy the summer months off, The Resort offers an ideal setting to settle in. Whether choosing an oceanfront suite for tranquility or a villa with full butler service for an added layer of luxury, long-term stays allow members to experience the property as a true home away from home.

In Closing…

The Resort’s membership options are crafted to reflect a variety of travel styles, lifestyles, and levels of engagement. Whether you’re seeking standard access, villa exclusivity, or elevated privileges, there’s a tier designed to enhance your stay. All members, regardless of tier, are welcomed with the same attentive service and thoughtful hospitality that defines The Resort.

***Exclusions: Those previously barred from visiting The Resort are not permitted as a member’s guest, regardless of the hosting member’s tier.
