The Shore Club posted an official announcement on March 13, 2026, via the resort’s press page describing the move and tying it to recent milestones. (theshoreclubtc.com) Stan Hartling, CEO of the Hartling Group and owner/operator of The Shore Club, framed the recognition as a capstone to the property’s 10th‑anniversary year, saying the accolade honors the resort’s team and design. (theshoreclubtc.com) The development opened in 2016 as the first major resort on Long Bay Beach and sits on roughly 820 linear feet of beachfront, according to the Hartling Group’s project page. (hartlinggroup.com) The property layout includes 36 luxury suites and six estate villas, four distinct pool areas, four dining venues and a treetop spa with three treatment huts, per the Hartling Group and The Shore Club property overview. (hartlinggroup.com)(theshoreclubtc.com) The six Estate Villas feature about 8,800 square feet of indoor‑outdoor living apiece, each with a heated pool, private courtyard and master suite overlooking the shoreline. (theshoreclubtc.com) Membership in The Leading Hotels of the World gives property access to the Leaders Club platform — a network of more than 400 independent luxury hotels whose program offers points, priority upgrades, daily continental breakfast and on‑property perks when booked via LHW channels.
