Kerzner International Holdings Limited, a global leader in luxury hospitality, announced the introduction of the One&Only brand to the picturesque island of Antigua, set to open in 2027.
This new resort and community of Private Homes represent a significant expansion of the ultra-luxury One&Only resort collection into the Caribbean, blending Antigua’s stunning natural beauty with the renowned hospitality of One&Only to offer an unmatched resort experience.
Nestled in the serene Half Moon Bay on the southeast side of Antigua, the resort is strategically positioned on one of the island’s most magnificent stretches of coastline. This 132-acre property, adjacent to a national park, boasts an idyllic semi-circular beach, cliffs offering panoramic Caribbean views, and a lush tropical setting. Antigua, known for its unspoiled natural beauty and island charm, continues to captivate the world’s most discerning travelers.
The architectural design of the resort is meticulously planned to honor the natural landscape, ensuring minimal environmental impact during development. The resort will embody the essence of Antiguan vernacular architecture, reinterpreted through a modern and elegant lens. Guests can expect flowing indoor-outdoor spaces, breathtaking vistas, and chic, comfortable living areas. The design will draw inspiration from Antigua’s rich historical tapestry, crafting an ambiance of timeless luxury and relaxed sophistication.
One&Only is renowned for curating unique experiences that reflect the essence of each location. In Antigua, guests will be immersed in the island’s vibrant culture, nature, wildlife, and culinary delights, offering an authentic and luxurious Caribbean experience.
Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer of Kerzner International, expressed his excitement about this expansion: “This is a momentous occasion for One&Only’s growth. We have long sought a Caribbean location that embodies our vision for exclusive resorts and experiences. Antigua is that destination, and we are eager to introduce our unique brand to the island, providing our guests and homeowners with an opportunity to explore this exceptional locale.”
The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Hon. Gaston Browne, welcomed the project, acknowledging it as a flagship development that will significantly elevate the Antiguan and Barbudan tourism landscape.
The Antigua resort joins an impressive lineup of upcoming One&Only properties, including One&Only One Za’abeel in Dubai, One&Only Kéa Island in Greece, and One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky Montana, United States, each offering its unique blend of luxury and cultural immersion.
This new addition to the One&Only portfolio in Antigua is not just a testament to the brand’s growth but a promise of delivering unparalleled luxury, set against the backdrop of one of the Caribbean’s most enchanting islands. With its commitment to sustainability, cultural authenticity, and exceptional hospitality, One&Only Antigua is poised to redefine luxury travel in the Caribbean.
