Ambergris Cay's New Waterside Bungalows Are Now Open — Resort Launches Founder's Rate to Mark the Debut

The private island's newest accommodation category welcomes its first guests, offering a calm-water lifestyle with direct shoreline access, private plunge pools, and a new family-focused chapter for the resort

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ambergris Cay, the luxury all-inclusive private island resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands, has officially opened its 12 new Waterside Bungalows, first announced in March as part of a broader resort expansion. The bungalows are now welcoming guests and bookable at an introductory Founder's Rate for a limited time.

Set along the calm waterside of the 1,100-acre private island, the collection introduces a distinctly different way to experience Ambergris Cay. Where the resort's established Beachfront Bungalows offer sandy shoreline and open ocean, the Waterside Bungalows face the island's sheltered sound, calm, glass-still waters ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding directly from a private terrace. Their proximity to the Club House, dining, and island amenities makes them particularly well suited for families, groups of friends, and multi-couple stays.

The collection includes six one-bedroom residences, approximately 1,600 square feet, ideal for couples and small families seeking an intimate waterside retreat, and six two-bedroom residences spanning approximately 2,257 square feet, designed for families and groups who want shared living space without sacrificing privacy. Each features a private heated plunge pool, shaded terrace, indoor-outdoor living areas with floor-to-ceiling glass, and complimentary kayaks and paddleboards. Later this year, the resort will also debut a new kids club near the Waterside Bungalows, further expanding its family offering.

“Each new addition to Ambergris Cay is intentional, guided by a commitment to privacy, space and respect for the island’s natural surroundings,” said Andreas Naegele, vice president of hospitality at Waterloo Hotel Management Ltd. “The Waterside Bungalows reflect that approach, offering guests a quieter, more connected way to experience the island from the water's edge.”

All guests enjoy full access to Ambergris Cay's all-inclusive amenities, including globally inspired dining, dedicated island hosts, non-motorized water sports, tennis and pickleball, yoga, e-bikes, bone fishing lessons, beach bonfires, and the resort's signature floating Hangover Tiki Bar. Guests can land their private jet on one of the Caribbean's longest runways or fly commercial from major U.S. hubs with direct service to Providenciales, followed by a complimentary flight to the island. American Airlines also offers direct service from Miami to South Caicos, with a complimentary transfer to Ambergris Cay.

The Waterside Bungalows at Ambergris Cay are now open. As a founding guest, enjoy an introductory Founder's Rate of 20%* off, plus a complimentary 30-minute couples spa treatment and an exclusive waterside experience designed only for Waterside guests. Book by August 31, 2026 for stays through December 17, 2027. Founding rates are limited and won't be extended.
