Old world elegance arrives on award winning Grace
Bay Beach bringing international flair and prestige to Turks and Caicos
vacation and ownership offerings.
JTRE has secured one of the last remaining parcels
on world-famous Grace Bay Beach to develop a low-density property situated on
11 acres of serene, secluded powder sand beachfront.
Kempinski
Grace Bay blends rich heritage of internationally renowned hospitality
brand with beautiful by nature serenity of award-winning Grace Bay Beach
creating a distinctive and limited ownership opportunity.
World-renowned international hotelier Kempinski
Hotels has been named operator of a unique new luxury beachfront residences and
resort, located on one of the last remaining pristine stretches of the
award-winning Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. The
project is being developed by JTRE, a leading European real estate developer
and will be operated by Kempinski, Europe’s oldest hotelier - with more than 80
premium properties under management in 36 countries. The two companies signed
an operating agreement and together will bring a new level of internationally
renowned hospitality, contemporary design and elegant service to the Turks
& Caicos Islands portfolio of vacation and ownership offerings.
The partnership of one of the world’s oldest and
well-respected luxury hotel brands with a leading European real estate
developer brings to the Turks and Caicos Islands a century of proven five-star
hospitality delivered globally across the entire guest experience. Both
Kempinski Hotels and JTRE’s global footprint in Europe, Asia, Africa and the
Middle East attract a loyal clientele that expands awareness for the entire
destination beyond its traditional tourism markets while also appealing to
North American visitors.
Kempinski Grace Bay
Discreetly set in a quiet, undeveloped 11-acre
stretch of Grace Bay Beach, these luxury residences and resort feature 431 feet
of white sand beachfront. The low-footprint design offers 4 beachfront villas
and 72 condominium residences, creating a private sanctuary that blends into
the natural landscape, creating a serene and secluded setting. Well-placed on
the uncrowded eastern end of the world’s most beautiful beach, the property is
just minutes from the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, shops and restaurants,
and other attractions and conveniences, and a short drive to the destination’s
international airport.
Along with graceful contemporary architecture set
discretely against the breathtaking natural surroundings, Kempinski Grace Bay
will feature a premium offering of luxury amenities as well as new-to-the
island services for discerning guests and owners to enjoy. The design, the
setting and the operator distinguish Kempinski Grace Bay as offering elegant
seaside luxury with world-class hospitality.
“We are pleased to add this magnificent property in
a world-class destination to our international portfolio of luxury hotels and
vacation residences,” said Bernold Schroeder, Chief Executive Officer of
Kempinski Group and Chairman of the Management Board of Kempinski AG.
“Its location set directly on one of the most desirable beaches in the world
offers our clients an unmatched experience to enjoy the beauty of this stunning
seaside setting, embraced by the luxury and hospitality Kempinski is known for
throughout the world.”
And Christophe Piffaretti, Chief Development
Officer, Member of the Management Board of Kempinski, added: “We embarked on
our journey with JTRE nearly two decades ago, and today, with pride, we oversee
two of their exceptional hotels. It's a delightful honor to once again be
chosen by these visionary developers for their upcoming venture in Turks and
Caicos.”
“Less is More” Luxury experience
Utmost attention to detail and environmental
sustainability are hallmarks of the development, which respects the landscape
of native plants, sand and stone that borders the mesmerizing turquoise waters
of the Princess Alexander National Park. The property offers both the privacy
afforded by one of the few remaining undeveloped beachfront stretches on the
island and the convenience of its close proximity to Grace Bay’s attractions,
services and tourism amenities. In keeping with the Kempinski ethos of “less is
more”, the property is purposely being developed as low density to ensure an
exclusive and low traffic experience.
“The Kempinski brand sets a new standard for
international service and luxury for Turks and Caicos visitors and investors.
Its proven expertise in delivering exceptional and memorable experiences,
combined with the casual elegance of this enticing architectural design and
location, make this a treasured ‘best of both worlds’ destination for
discerning travelers worldwide,” said Marek Baca, Chief Representative for the
Americas for JTRE.
Multiple vacation and ownership options
The three main condo-style residences on the
property are stepped back from the beach to create a tropical oasis in the
courtyard. They are configured as studio, one, two and three bedroom suites
including four or five bedroom penthouse units. Four one-story luxuriously
appointed villas, each featuring six spacious ocean facing bedrooms, grace the
front of the property.
Premium level amenities will enhance the
experience, starting with a grand arrival entrance area and lush lobby creating
a garden oasis and spectacular bar with a view over the entire resort. The
low-density property layout features ample space to dine, socialize, recreate,
and relax. It offers three diverse dining venues including a beach club, two
resort-style pools, an indoor luxury spa and fitness center, tennis and paddle
courts, a kids club, as well as an indoor golf simulator, ideal for warming up
for a round at the nearby championship caliber Royal Turks & Caicos Golf
Club.
This unique ownership opportunity is presented in
two scenarios: beach side condominiums under a strata regime and private villas
offered as a land parcel with a construction contract. Pre-construction pricing
and availability is to be announced in early 2024.
