SOURCE SLEEP MAGAZINE: Envisioned by HKS Architects and Roam Interior Design, the property will also feature a beach club and private residences. The US $400m+ development will find home on Jolly Beach, on the island’s west coast, making it an immediate neighbour to the Jolly Harbour community. 

82 hotel rooms and suites will be on offer, alongside 181 branded residences of up to four bedrooms. In addition to a beach club with its own boat drop-off point, five F&B outlets will be located on-site. Extensive health and wellness areas will also be on offer, including Tone Gym and Nikki Spa, which will feature cryo, hyperbaric, hydrothermal, red-light and IV therapy rooms, an aquatic centre, and a residence owner’s lounge with a private gym. 

“We look forward to introducing the Nikki Beach experience to the stunning island of Antigua, marking our first resort and residences in the Caribbean and our second beach club after Saint Barth,” says Lucia Penrod, co-founder, CEO and owner of Nikki Beach Hospitality Group. “We look forward to expanding in the region and providing our guests with an exciting new destination where they can celebrate life with us, all while enjoying Antigua’s natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant community.” 

Calvin Ayre, Chairman of Ayre Group, adds: “This soon-to-be-developed 5-star hotel on the beachfront of Antigua is poised to become an unforgettable destination in the region, combining luxury, convenience and modern living. As guests enter the property, they will be immediately immersed in its idyllic atmosphere and breathtaking ocean views.” 

A significant investment will be made in the resort’s development, with the expected provision of around 300 long-term jobs on the island, along with a similar number of shorter-term construction jobs. Local suppliers will expand to cater for the resort’s operational needs, as well as to independently service a higher volume of tourists throughout the region. The construction workforce will be sourced locally where possible, while the development team will be looking to utilise as much of the Antiguan supply chain as possible. 

The Honourable Gaston Browne Prime Minister – Antigua and Barbuda also comments: “I welcome Nikki Beach Hospitality Group’s 5-star tourism development project to the shores of Antigua. Nikki Beach is a luxury brand that is celebrated for its cutting-edge architecture, contemporary dining and amenities. The construction of this hotel will accelerate the transformation of Antigua and Barbuda as a luxury destination here in the Caribbean. I am sure many inquisitive travellers will want to enjoy the Nikki Beach experience here in Antigua. Nikki Beach ranks so highly among travellers with exquisite taste, that the outcome of its presence here will be mutually beneficial to all stakeholders.
