As part of Shell Cove’s highly anticipated Waterfront Marina master-plan, Benetti Shell Cove sets a new benchmark for coastal luxury. This landmark development features high-end hotel suites, resort-style apartments, a grand ballroom, fine dining spaces, and a spa.
“DNT Co. was engaged to complete the tiling installation and supply a portion of the materials,” says Amy Lee, Project Manager at DNT Co. “Our team delivered premium tiling finishes that enhance the overall elegance and durability of this luxury hotel development.”
“We delivered the full tiling and paving package for Benetti Shell Cove, encompassing both internal and external areas,” explains Amy. “Our scope included the hotel’s guest suites, residential apartments, and all common areas, corridors, lobbies, and amenities.”
From high-traffic public spaces to private luxury bathrooms, DNT Co. approached each area with the same commitment to quality. For the suites and apartments, the team installed a combination of premium large-format porcelain tiles and standard tiles arranged in a vertical staggered pattern, a unique design element requiring precision and consistency across the board. “These materials were chosen for their durability and refined aesthetic,” Amy notes.
To add richness and depth to the resort’s communal areas, DNT Co. installed natural stone tiles, enhancing the luxurious ambiance. One standout feature was the intricate stone inlay patterns used in the lobby floors and common spaces. “These required precision cutting and careful installation to achieve the bespoke design intent,” says Amy.
Working in a coastal environment brought its own set of challenges, including exposure to salt air and high humidity, which can compromise materials over time if not properly addressed. “We specified materials with high resistance to efflorescence and corrosion,” Amy explained. “We also used anti-efflorescence additives and flexible adhesives for all external works to ensure long-term performance.”
An additional challenge was ensuring the external tiling on balconies and podiums remained unaffected by moisture trapped in screeds. “We used pedestal installation systems in those areas to improve drainage and stability,” Amy said.
In a project of this scale and sophistication, sequencing, coordination, and collaboration were crucial. DNT Co. worked closely with the broader construction team to ensure seamless delivery across multiple trades and zones.
“The Benetti Shell Cove project exemplifies our ability to deliver superior craftsmanship,” said Amy. “We are proud of the exceptional quality and attention to detail achieved across every surface, from the high-end residential bathrooms to the expansive external paving.”
