As February approaches, I find myself yearning for the sun-drenched shores and elegant allure of the Amalfi Coast. Just the thought of taking that little wooden boat to my favorite beach club to indulge in freshly caught grilled octopus and a spritz against the dramatic cliffside backdrop has me impulsively booking May flights. The stretch between October and May is too long to bear! And while nothing quite compares to the magic of Italy, when the winter temps hit, we always book a Turks and Caicos trip. Similar to Amalfi, Turks just has a magic to it that can’t be described, only felt.
This was our third time visiting the island – with direct flights from JFK and Newark, it just makes travel so convenient. And being that we’re Leaders Club members with Leading Hotels of the World, our first step when planning is booking one of their luxurious properties. They’ve famously always had the idyllic Grace Bay Club in their portfolio but one of the new ones that piqued my interest was Rock House Resort and it’s unlike anything yet seen in the Turks and Caicos!
Nestled along the pristine coastline and limestone cliffs, Rock House Resort emerges as a beacon of sophistication and elegance in a sea of ordinary. It promises a fresh take on luxury accommodations, blending modern design with timeless charm. From the moment I stepped foot on the property, I was enveloped in a sense of serenity and tranquility that transported me straight to the shores of the Mediterranean. The design and architecture, with its crochet beach umbrellas against whitewashed walls, pay homage to the iconic style of the Amalfi Coast, all while offering a contemporary twist that felt both refreshing and inviting.
But it’s not just the aesthetics that capture my heart—it’s the attention to detail and unparalleled level of service that truly set Rock House Resort apart. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making us feel right at home in this idyllic paradise.
But the pièce de résistance was the culinary experience that awaited. This February only, they’ve partnered with Michelin Star Chef, Giuseppe Stanzione from the iconic Hotel Santa Caterina, to curate an exceptional dining experience that promises a culinary journey to the heart of Italy! Appropriately titled “A Taste of Amalfi”, the evening was filled with unforgettable flavors and Italian-inspired elegance. As I savored each mouthwatering dish against the backdrop of the Caribbean sunset, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for stumbling upon this hidden gem of an experience in Turks & Caicos.
So, if you find yourself craving a taste of Amalfi this February, look no further than Rock House Resort. With its unparalleled charm, exquisite cuisine, and genuine hospitality, it’s the perfect destination for those seeking a slice of paradise with a Mediterranean twist.
