As Food For Thought marks its 10th anniversary, we proudly celebrate the incredible charity whose generosity and commitment have helped make this initiative a lasting success. For a decade, they have invested in the future of the Turks and Caicos Islands, helping ensure that children have access to the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Today, approximately 4,000 children attend public schools across the islands. Through the Breakfast Programme, nutritious meals are provided every school day to students in North Caicos, Middle Caicos, South Caicos, and Salt Cay, reaching approximately 380 children annually. The Food Bank Programme further supports students and families throughout the country, helping to address food insecurity and create opportunities for success.
As a proud donor and long-standing supporter of Food For Thought, we are honoured to be part of this journey. The impact of this programme extends far beyond meals—it supports education, wellbeing, dignity, and hope for future generations.
Congratulations on ten years of transforming lives and strengthening communities. We look forward to continuing this meaningful partnership and supporting the important work of Food For Thought for years to come.

Turks and Caicos Islands – April 30th, 2026 – Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty (TCSIR) recently hosted an exclusive evening at The Loren at Turtle Cove, welcoming members of the Turks & Caicos Real Estate Association (TCREA), alongside specially invited guests from across the island’s professional community, including representatives from local banks, law firms, media, and other industry partners.
Held on April 30th, the event was designed to provide guests with a unique opportunity to meet the visionaries behind The Loren at Turtle Cove and gain first-hand insight into the thinking and direction shaping the development.
The evening began with guided tours of the site, led by TCSIR agents, who shared an overview of the project’s layout, design approach, and distinctive positioning within the market. This allowed guests to experience the development in context, ahead of further stages of construction.
Following the tours, guests gathered at CAMP at The Loren, where Graham Canham, Global Real Estate Advisor at TCSIR, delivered opening remarks speaking to the significance of the project and its place within the evolving Turks & Caicos real estate landscape. Remarks were also delivered by a representative of The Loren, offering additional perspective on the brand and its vision for the development.

Commenting on the event, Joe Zahm, President of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, stated: “Bringing people together to meet the visionaries behind The Loren was an important part of this event. It’s one thing to hear about a development but having the opportunity to connect directly with those shaping it, and to experience the site firsthand, provides a much deeper understanding of what is being created here at Turtle Cove.”

The Loren has officially unveiled CAMP, a vibrant pop-up dining experience perched on a scenic bluff overlooking Turtle Cove, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for The Loren and its future development in the area.
Inspired by The Loren’s guiding philosophy, “Uncompromising by Nature,” CAMP offers a unique lifestyle experience that blends coastal discovery, thoughtful design, culinary creativity, and the social energy that defines the Loren brand.
The launch event also marked a significant milestone for the development as Stephen King, visionary and developer of The Loren, announced the appointment of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty (TCSIR) as the exclusive sales and marketing representative for the upcoming Turtle Cove development.
The appointment signals the next phase in the evolution of one of the island’s most historically significant waterfront locations, the site of the original Third Turtle Inn, Turks and Caicos’ first hotel and marina.
Chosen decades ago for its protected harbor, elevated terrain, and intimate crescent beach, Turtle Cove has long been associated with discovery, gathering, and a lifestyle centered around the sea. The Loren’s next chapter seeks to honour that legacy while thoughtfully shaping its future. Infrastructure works, including beach replenishment and marina dock construction, are scheduled to begin later this year, with the project moving toward a projected Spring 2027 opening. Joe Zahm, President of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “I am genuinely thrilled to be involved with a site that has been near and dear to my heart for more than 30 years. This is a place many of us associate with some of our earliest memories of the island – boating, gathering, celebrating, and simply being by the water.
To now help guide its next chapter, alongside a thoughtful development team and a boutique hospitality brand with roots in Austin and Bermuda, is incredibly meaningful. We look forward to introducing this next phase of Turtle Cove to the world.”
Developer Stephen King also reflected on the significance of the collaboration: “We are very pleased to finally be working together with Joe and his team. There has always been mutual respect between us since we first met several years ago, and the timing now truly feels right for the project. As infrastructure continues to advance and our vision for Turtle Cove comes to life, this collaboration feels natural and aligned with where The Loren is headed.” King also noted that the project reflects The Loren’s broader philosophy of stewarding iconic coastal destinations.
“Our approach in Turks and Caicos mirrors the thoughtful transformation currently underway at Elbow Beach in Bermuda – another historic site being carefully reimagined. Our new relationship with Joe and his team also complements our long-standing partnership with Buddy Rego of Rego Sotheby’s International Realty in Bermuda. Buddy, who is also the co-founder of Turks and Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, has deep roots in the destination spanning more than four decades. The alignment between these partnerships gives us great confidence as both projects move forward.”
As the development progresses, CAMP by The Loren will serve as a seasonal gathering place for the Turks and Caicos community and visitors alike, a relaxed yet refined hilltop setting where guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, live entertainment, and sweeping sunset views over Turtle Cove.
The Loren remains grounded in a simple belief: places that have shaped generations deserve to evolve thoughtfully – and with the right partners.

The Youth Centre Director reflected on the significance of the evening, sharing, “We are beyond thankful for the unwavering support of our sponsors, artists, community, visitors, volunteers and everyone involved.
