Since the Como group took over, the resort has been re-engineered to fit the Asian chain’s house style — the cuisine is far beyond what most Caribbean destinations are capable of offering, as is the service.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Private boats zip thirty minutes from Providenciales across turquoise channels and shallow sandbars, arriving at the isolated cay dock.
The rooms
Whitewashed walls frame four-poster beds draped in sheer netting and teak furnishings, while standalone beach houses add private plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A freshwater infinity pool borders the ocean, surrounded by cushioned daybed pavilions and sun loungers.
The spa
Walkways through the wetlands lead to nine treatment pavilions with sunken tubs for Thai massage and Indonesian bodywork.
The gym
The air-conditioned gym is equipped with Life Fitness cardio machines and a central functional training rig.
Dogs stay too.
Lotus Restaurant
Poolside tables serve light Caribbean dishes by day, switching to Southeast Asian curries and Saturday night street-food markets.
Four-poster beds dressed with white mosquito netting, white-washed walls and teak furnishings set the tone for the newly updated rooms and suites.
At the table
Stepped wooden decks at the open-air beach club serve signature cocktails and fresh juices right on the sand.
How it began
Left abandoned during the Gulf War, the private cay was acquired in 1998 by Christina Ong, who transformed it into a secluded retreat.
“the spa, COMO Shambhala Retreat, is so successful at projecting a holistic way of life that a sense of peace and harmony embraces the entire resort.”
