The Rope Bar at The Shore Club in Turks and Caicos Has Stunning Design and Island Cocktails


You don’t just walk into The Rope Bar — you step into a space that feels alive. Thick coils of rope twist upward into soaring columns, looping across the ceiling in sculptural waves. Golden light filters through the fibers, catching in the curves and shadows, turning the room into something both dramatic and calming.

It’s the signature place to sip at The Shore Club, along Long Bay Beach in Providenciales, and it may be the most remarkable bar design in the Caribbean. Every detail matters here: the raw texture of the rope, the way it frames the room, the glow of the bar under soft light. It feels like an installation — a work of art — but one where the bartenders remember your name and slide a glass across the counter with effortless grace.

It’s not a surprise, given that this is easily one of the most beautiful hotels in the whole Caribbean. (And parent company Hartling Group specializes in them — like the stunning Sisi bar at its sister resort, The Palms).

And the drinks are as striking as the setting. The menu leans into craft cocktails with fresh island ingredients — think muddled passionfruit with a pour of aged rum, cucumber and mint shaken into a crisp gin cooler, or a tropical twist on a margarita with just-squeezed lime and sea salt from the islands. Every glass is polished, every garnish exact, but the flavors remain tied to the place. These aren’t drinks you sip once and forget; they’re the kind that linger with you, as much memory as cocktail.

What makes The Rope Bar stand out isn’t only its look or its menu. It’s the feel of the place at night. Guests drift in from dinner or the pool, linen loose, skin sun-warmed. There’s the low murmur of conversation, the clink of ice, the occasional laugh that rises to the ceiling and vanishes into the rope. The room is alive but never hurried. It manages to be glamorous without being pretentious, a bar that anchors the Shore Club and gives Turks and Caicos one of its most compelling indoor-outdoor spaces.

For travelers, The Rope Bar isn’t just a hotel lounge — it’s an experience in itself. In an island chain where beaches get all the glory, this is proof that sometimes what’s indoors can be just as unforgettable.
