Wednesday, March 4th, 2026. Balaboosta’s Private Wine Cellar. Manhattan, New York.—Guests gathered at Balaboosta’s private wine cellar for an intimate evening hosted by The Loren Hotels, celebrating the launch of their new CAMP pop-up culinary experience in Turks & Caicos. Opening March 12, CAMP is a 60-seat hilltop dining concept that blends the celebrated techniques of The Loren Austin and The Loren Bermuda kitchens, reimagined with a distinctive Turks & Caicos island flair.
The curated dinner offered a rare glimpse into the immersive world CAMP promises, with Chef Christian Grindrod—who leads The Loren’s culinary team—at the helm. Each course reflected the brand’s signature craftsmanship while incorporating vibrant Caribbean flavors, showcasing coastal techniques, fire-driven elements, and premium island ingredients. The evening set the stage for guests to anticipate CAMP’s experiential offerings, including a Boat-to-Table Fishing Experience and an Art + Culinary collaboration with contemporary artist Erik Parker, which will allow diners to engage with both cuisine and creativity in real time.
Beyond the culinary journey, the dinner also previewed The Loren Hotels’ 2026 updates, highlighting developments in Bermuda and Austin, as well as the highly anticipated Turks & Caicos property set to open in 2027. Guests were treated to a thoughtfully designed atmosphere in the private wine cellar, where the intimate setting paired perfectly with the refined yet approachable sophistication that defines The Loren brand.
CAMP’s concept is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of connection, artistry, and the natural beauty of Turks & Caicos. By combining open-air dining, cultural programming, and elevated island cuisine, the experience promises to offer visitors a sensory journey that extends beyond the plate. The March 12 opening will mark the start of CAMP’s limited-time residency, providing guests with a chance to experience a unique taste of luxury, creativity, and Caribbean-inspired innovation—all while previewing the next chapter in The Loren’s evolving story.
