Villa del Mar Guests Enjoy Discounted Rates at Private Island Resort, The Meridian Club

Become a Guest and Qualify

Guests staying at Villa del Mar may make a booking at The Meridian Club and receive a 15% rate discount by mentioning that they are already a guest of Villa del Mar. This arrangement goes both ways, so guests who are staying at The Meridian Club can tack on a few days to their holiday and enjoy some time on Provo. This agreement delivers the best of both worlds.

Guests will enjoy complimentary continental breakfast and private beach concierge at Villa del Mar, and all meals, a picnic excursion to Fort George Cay, daily snorkeling and use of water and sports equipment at The Meridian Club. All transfers between the resorts are included as well.

Why Choose The Meridian Club?

Have you ever dreamed about staying on a secluded private island and having a white sand beach virtually to yourself? Well, in a nutshell, that is The Meridian Club experience.

Located on the privately owned island of Pine Cay, The Meridian Club offers beachfront room accommodations in a breathtaking setting. The highlights of this romantic private island resort are the 2-miles of pristine beachfront (soft white sand, caressed by shallow turquoise waters), the relaxed pace (only golf carts and bicycles for transportation), all meals included (Chef Shane Coffey is renowned for his culinary creations and an old-world bell is rung to signal mealtimes), and the seclusion of Pine Cay (a mere 15-minute boat ride from Provo, but truly a world away from everything).

“The island is a diamond. A beautiful place, that remains undiscovered” said one TripAdvisor reviewer.

The greatest thing about this place is how you truly have the beach to yourself,” said another TripAdvisor reviewer.

The Meridian Club has an intimate full-service spa, weekly yoga classes, daily snorkeling excursions, beach golf, a tennis court, kayaks, Hobie Cats and so much more. Yet, there is no pressure to do anything but enjoy the serene surroundings, immerse yourself in the brilliant blue hues of the sea and the sky, and feel yourself slowly unwinding from all the rigors of daily life.

This eco-friendly island places the emphasis on “unplugging”, which means there are no phones or televisions in the rooms. Instead, expect to gather with guests in the Club lounge to enjoy chats over cocktails and some friendly competition with board games or games around the pool deck. Every Wednesday night is drive-in movie night and guests are invited to grab a golf cart and head to the airstrip to watch a show such as Hogan’s Heroes, Fawlty Towers or McHale’s Navy. Really, this resort is a throwback to the Caribbean islands as they used to be.

Like Villa Del Mar, The Meridian Club is also an award winning facility having won the Certificate of Excellence Award from Trip Advisor in both 2013 and 2014.

Why Choose Villa del Mar?

For guests who have vacationed at Villa del Mar, the high quality of accommodations and professional, friendly service are what has won them over. One, two, and three bedroom suites with luxury finishings, and the resort’s award-winning beach service provided by twin brothers, Kerone and Lerone Reid are key. While Grace Bay Beach is public, there is an area which is designated for the exclusive use of guests of Villa Del Mar. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, beverage service and even beach floats and toys for the children are all provided. The beach service team is exceptional and can attend to details like fresh linens, food service and water activities or excursions.

“The beach service was fantastic! – the beach attendants were super friendly and helped us with everything we needed,” said one Trip Advisor reviewer.

The staff and management of Villa Del Mar are always hard at work. And Friday evenings are legendary at the resort with the Manager’s Cocktail Reception getting underway at 5pm with potent rum cocktails from Captain Bill. There are catering and special services available for unique events like weddings or anniversaries. It’s a special place. And guests have definitely taken notice.

“The staff, again, were fantastic, the manager, cleaning, front desk, grounds keepers, bartenders, beach attendants, all were friendly and helpful. I wish I would have wrote all your names down so I could mention each of you,” gushed another Trip Advisor reviewer.
