Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos, Is Now Open

Turks and Caicos is a Caribbean archipelago that boasts some of the most magnificent beaches in the world. It’s long been popular with the well-heeled, but, in recent years, it’s become a little more accessible to those looking to redeem travel rewards for hotel stays, as chains have opened a few hotels across the nation’s islands.

Marriott, which opened The Ritz-Carlton, Turks and Caicos, a few years ago, has expanded in Turks once again with Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa.

The hotel is now open for guests. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting new Marriott property!

Marriott Brings the Luxury Collection to Turks and Caicos

Situated on South Caicos Island, Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos, is not a newly constructed resort. Marriott took over the former East Bay Resort and has renovated it to transform it into Salterra, which opened for guests on March 8, 2025.

The property is fairly small, with just 100 rooms. There’s plenty to do, though, as the hotel features 6 places to eat and drink, a spa, a fitness center, an oceanfront pool, and direct access to the beach from the property. The property is also pet-friendly and has an airport shuttle.

How To Book Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos

Salterra participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program, and you can book stays using cash or points.

Cash rates at Salterra start from $726 per night in June 2025 but cost at least $1,285 per night April 2025. If you prefer to redeem Marriott Bonvoy points for a stay, you can expect to pay at least 82,000 per night — though finding nights at that price is uncommon.

We value Marriott Bonvoy points at 0.7 cents apiece, which means you can get solid value from your points, especially if you take advantage of Marriott Bonvoy’s fifth-night free perk when paying for stays with points. Many award nights at the property provide 1-cent-per-point or more in value.

If your points balance is looking low, rest assured that it’s fairly easy to earn Marriott Bonvoy points. You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, and Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio or open one of the best Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. These cards all come with sizable welcome bonuses and some form of Marriott Bonvoy elite status.

Final Thoughts

Turks and Caicos continues to become a better destination for award travelers, as more and more points options seem to open up every year.

If a visit to the more remote South Caicos Island is on your radar, the opening of Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos, should be music to your ears!
