Sandals Resorts, Beaches Resorts, and Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts have announced the creation of a brand new Beaches Resort in Antigua. Beaches Antigua will be built on the site of the company’s existing Grand Pineapple Resort in Long Bay, and will boast 1-4 bedroom rooms and suites, up to 12 restaurants, conferencing facilities, and a wide range of exhilarating and unique features that include a waterpark, a cinema, an Xbox Play Lounge, and a BMX track.
Here’s what Sandals Resorts Chairman Gordon “Butch” Stewart has to say about their newest resort:
As a country, Antigua is very dear to our hearts because it was the first place we went when we ventured outside of Jamaica in 1991. This particular deal has been a long time coming – we’ve been discussing it for over three years – but it is well worth the wait. Antigua is a stunning country and we’ve enjoyed no end of pleasure operating here. It’s often said that there’s 365 beaches in Antigua, now there’s another!
The newly-announced property will become the fifth Beaches Resort in the Jamaican-based company’s portfolio along with Beaches Barbados, which is set to break ground in the middle of next year and is yet another exciting announcement from Sandals Resorts. 2013 has witnessed the opening of the US$120m Key West Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos, the announcement of two resorts in Barbados, and the hugely anticipated launch of Sandals LaSource Grenada on 21st December of this year.
