Discover Salterra: Blending Heritage with Modernism

What sets Salterra apart from other high-end beach properties? For one, a  pristine beach with a direct view of its  beautiful salt ponds. It is a luxury that pays homage to the island’s roots, from the salt-rubbed fish at its fine dining restaurant Brine, to the Taíno symbols—one of the most influential indigenous groups in the Caribbean—carved in the entry door.

"At Salterra, you can expect a luxury experience that is deeply rooted in place," Tibbetts says. “It feels wild and yet, offers a level of luxury that's quietly considered, never overdone."

One of Salterra's prized additions is its Assouline collection, curated by the brand's President, Alex Assouline. Housed in the central building of the resort, it's a space where guests can flip through the pages of their favorite book, or just take a moment to unwind. It naturally brings people together, while also offering a sense of calm and reflection.

Here, the books create an ambiance that goes beyond the traditional concept of a standard library, to a place that directly reflects the charm of Salterra. It’s a collaboration that Tibbetts describes as "a narrative, creative space, where every volume speaks to a different layer of South Caicos."

Each title reflects a characteristic of the island. Blue-colored volumes represent the surrounding ocean, black and navy evoke the endless night sky, gold captures both the sun and the salt, bronze reflects the sand, and soft pink honors the coral and flamingos that live in nearby waters.

"Salterra's curated library by Assouline was born out of a shared belief in storytelling," Tibbetts says. "At Salterra, we're not just building a resort – we're telling the story of the island."
