November 7, 2026 — Hilton’s planned Waldorf Astoria Turks and Caicos Dellis Cay, a 62-key private-island resort, is now projected to open in 2030, two years later than the 2028 target Hilton gave in April 2025.
What is happening
Caribbean Journal reported on November 6 that Hilton’s latest Caribbean development update lists the Dellis Cay resort for 2030. Hilton has given an expected opening year, with a specific opening date “still to come.” Construction start and completion dates were not published (TBA).
| Detail | Waldorf Astoria Turks and Caicos Dellis Cay |
|---|---|
| Brand / parent | Waldorf Astoria / Hilton |
| Location | Dellis Cay, Turks and Caicos; about 25 minutes by boat from Providenciales |
| Previous target | 2028 (announced April 2025) |
| New target | 2030; exact date TBA |
| Rooms | 62 rooms and suites, including 10 beachfront bungalows with plunge pools |
Planned features
- More than three miles of beachfront on a private island.
- An all-day restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a beach and pool bar and grill, and Waldorf Astoria’s signature Peacock Alley.
- Separate adult and family pools, a 13,455 sq ft spa, fitness center, library and retail space.
- A residential component with condominiums, beach villas and ocean villas.
Caribbean Journal also noted that AMARIS Grace Bay Turks and Caicos, an LXR Hotels & Resorts project, is likewise now projected for 2030.
What it means for airline travelers
- Not a near-term booking. There is nothing to book yet, and the target has already moved once; treat 2030 as provisional.
- Getting there. Access will be through Providenciales, home to the Turks and Caicos’ main international airport (PLS), then a roughly 25-minute boat ride. Plan for a boat connection on arrival and departure days rather than a quick airport run.
- Rates. Nothing has been published on pricing or on travel-industry or airline-employee rates.
