The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis has announced the successful completion of management agreements between Solidus Corp, the project developer, and Marriott International, Inc., to build The St. Kitts Ritz-Carlton Resort Hotel and Residences. This milestone paves the way for the prestigious Ritz-Carlton brand to establish a presence on the island, set to elevate the destination’s luxury hospitality offerings.
Earlier this year Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “This venture represents a transformative moment for St. Kitts and Nevis. Our administration has delivered on our promise to finalize an agreement with The St. Kitts Ritz-Carlton Resort Hotel and Residences, and this exclusive destination will not only elevate St. Kitts as a luxury destination but is also anticipated to create significant opportunities for our people.”
The resort is slated to be situated on the picturesque Southeast Peninsula and will feature 125 guest suites, 10 branded villas, and 15 branded condominium residences. Amenities will include a luxury spa, multiple swimming pools, exceptional dining options, The Ritz-Carlton Beach Club, the Ritz Kids Club, and other facilities designed within a ‘Kittitian Village’ concept.
Minister of Tourism, Marsha Henderson, highlighted the project’s significance, stating, “The development of The St. Kitts Ritz-Carlton Resort Hotel and Residences represents a pivotal achievement in our journey to position St. Kitts as a premier luxury destination in the Caribbean. This project not only underscores the confidence that global brands like Ritz-Carlton and Solidus Corp. have in our island but also demonstrates our commitment to fostering growth and exceptional experiences for our guests.”
Solidus Corp. has completed the purchase of the iconic 252-acre privately owned Friars Bay Estate, a critical milestone underscoring its commitment to St. Kitts. In close association with Solidus Corp. and The Ritz-Carlton, the Drew-led government has demonstrated leadership in promoting St. Kitts and Nevis as a premier destination for investments.
“This project marks a significant milestone in our commitment to bringing unparalleled luxury and service to St. Kitts,” said Pamela Vasquez, director of development for Marriott International in the Caribbean and Latin America, “demonstrating our confidence in the island’s potential and our dedication to fostering growth and exceptional experiences for our guests.”
Construction on the property is anticipated to begin by the third quarter of 2025, with the resort expected to open in the second quarter of 2028. This development marks a new chapter in St. Kitts’ evolution as a premier luxury destination in the Caribbean, reinforcing the government’s commitment to economic growth and tourism excellence.
