Building Sustainability from the Ground Up: The Strand

Sustainability delivers the greatest impact when it is embedded into a project from the very beginningโ€”not added later as a feature or marketing tool. In hospitality and residential development, early integration allows architecture, infrastructure, energy systems, and operations to work together seamlessly, creating more efficient, resilient, and valuable properties.

“At The Strand, handcrafted wood pergolas were incorporated into the architecture to provide shade for the bedrooms and living spaces. Because this decision was made early, shading became part of the architectural identity rather than an external structure added for comfort. Flow-through ventilation was also designed into every room, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling and reinforcing passive climate control strategies”, said John Fair, the visionary developer behind The Strand Turks & Caicos.

The Best Hotels in Turks and Caicos Focus on Sustainable Luxury: The Strand Turks & Caicos

The Strand Turks & Caicos was acclaimed as one of the best resorts on Providenciales, sharing the honour with COMO Parrot Cay and Rock House by Grace Bay Resorts.

On Cooper Jack Bay, far from the bustle of Grace Bay, The Strand Turks & Caicos offers a different perspective on the island. Part of the Leading Hotels of the World collection, its private stretch of beach glows with a milky-blue hue thanks to limestone particles from the sand. Villas and residences, maximizing ocean views with glass walls, terraces, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, hug the beach.

Anchored by its beach club , with a pool, cabanas, and The DelMar restaurant, The Strand delivers more than just views. The hillside kitchen, shaded by a living green roof, serves wood-fire grilled seafood and prime steaks accented with global flavors. In fact, the food here has quickly earned a reputation as outstanding, in part because itโ€™s often locally sourced.
