Described as the island’s first luxury beach resort

Thursday, 27th July 2017

The Park Hyatt brand is planning to open their first Caribbean property on 1 November, boosting luxury accommodation options in St Kitts and Nevis.

The Park Hyatt St Kitts Christophe Harbour, which spans the beach of Banana Bay, is a 126-room resort at the foot of lush rolling hills.

According to a press release, the “exciting new resort enables guests to discover this idyllic island in the West Indies through sophisticated design, art, culinary experiences and immersive excursions.

“Home to three signature restaurants, a destination resort spa and wellness centre, and indoor and outdoor event spaces, the resort launches the unparalleled and unique Park Hyatt experience to the Caribbean.”

Culture in mind

All 78 rooms and 48 suites overlook the sandy beach of Banana Bay, and the company created the interiors with sustainability in mind, using local materials.

Designers were also conscious of local culture, and the aesthetic is designed to echo “the island’s rich heritage and culture, and seamlessly intertwines contemporary architecture and colonial design.”

“We are honoured to be so warmly welcomed into the St Kitts and Nevis community and are strongly committed to being a key partner in the growth of this exciting destination,” said Julian Moore, the new resort’s general manager.

“We are delighted to introduce our guests to the unique Park Hyatt experience with a unique island element embracing the vibrant culture, history and people that define the federation of St Kitts and Nevis.”

Rooms feature private balconies and terraces, local artwork, rain-showers and deep soaking tubs.

Premium suites are home to private rooftop swimming pools and sundecks.

The three-bedroom Presidential Villa is the “ultimate indulgence for discerning guests”, equipped with a private infinity pool, wellness area, personal butler and private chef.

Spa escape

The Sugar Mill Spa and Sanctuary is where guests seeking holistic well-being can head.

Home to nine treatment rooms, destination-inspired therapies, and a 1,750-square-foot, 24-hour fitness club, treatments incorporate local herbs, and the shadow of the resort’s Sugar Mill provides a tranquil location for daily yoga and meditation.

With dramatic views of neighbouring Nevis, the resort provides non-motorised water activities, including snorkelling, paddleboards and kayaks. The Lagoon pool is dedicated for family enjoyment, while adults-only can dip in the Rampart pool.

Those looking to immerse themselves in St Kitts and Nevis, the Park Hyatt St Kitts Christophe Harbour has developed a series of enriching ‘Journeys’ that will introduce guests to the history, culture and people of the federation.
