Description / Location

Situated on a two-mile stretch of brilliant white sand beach, the Meridian Club holds court as the only resort on Pine Cay, a private 800-acre island. A walkway snakes from the hotel’s central two-story clubhouse through landscaped tropical gardens, to its duplex and furled accommodations. The 12 guestrooms are sheltered by sand dunes, sea oats, and sea grapes, with panoramic views of the ocean and rolling limestone ridges that swath the landscape. The emphasis is on peace and quiet, with no TVs, radios, cars, or ringing telephones. Guests stroll between the outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, alabaster beaches, and garden terrace restaurant without ever donning shoes—even for dinner. The hotel provides complimentary recreational equipment such as kayaks, bicycles, catamarans, and snorkeling gear. The poolside open-air restaurant is the setting for breakfast, buffet lunches, and candlelight dinners. (All meals are included in the room price.) The poolside bar serves cocktails all day long, and is the site of evening barbeques and live music.

Accommodations

Guests staying in our Club Rooms -- set among sand dunes, sea oats and sea grapes -- can step right off their porch and be in the water in less than a minute. Club Guest Rooms Each one of these rooms looks out on to our pristine and unbelievably beautiful two-mile-long beach. All are spacious and suite-like, with separate bedrooms and lounging alcoves, leading into screened-in porches overlooking the sea. The breeze from ceiling fans whirling overhead joins the gentle trade winds flowing through large windows and patio doors. Simply furnished in a tropical decor, the rooms are comfortable and attractive. Each one contains one king or two twin beds, lots of pillows, and a small library of books for your reading pleasure. The "suite" layout includes a large bathroom with two lavatory areas, a shower, and a dressing area with plenty of shelves for beachwear and clothing.
