Kempinski to Manage Luxury Beachfront Resort in Turks and Caicos

Kempinski Hotels will operate a high-end beachfront residential and resort project on the pristine Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.

The venture, developed by JTRE, a prominent European real estate developer, marks a significant collaboration with Kempinski, a stalwart in the hospitality industry with a portfolio spanning 80 premium properties across 36 countries. Under a recently inked operating agreement, the two entities aim to introduce a new echelon of globally acclaimed hospitality, contemporary design, and refined service to the vacation and ownership offerings in the Turks & Caicos Islands.

This partnership brings together one of the world's most enduring and esteemed luxury hotel brands with a leading European real estate developer, offering a century of proven five-star hospitality across the entire guest experience. With expansive footprints in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, both Kempinski Hotels and JTRE attract a devoted clientele, broadening the destination's awareness beyond traditional tourism markets and appealing to North American visitors.

Nestled discreetly on an undeveloped 11-acre stretch of Grace Bay Beach, the Kempinski Grace Bay project comprises 4 beachfront villas and 72 condominium residences, creating a secluded sanctuary seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape. Positioned on the tranquil eastern end of the exquisite beach, the property provides proximity to the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, as well as local amenities and attractions, with easy access to the international airport.

The Kempinski Grace Bay, characterized by contemporary architecture harmonizing with the stunning natural surroundings, promises a premium array of luxury amenities and novel services for discerning guests and owners. The carefully crafted design, serene setting, and renowned operator position Kempinski Grace Bay as a haven of elegant seaside luxury with world-class hospitality.

Bernold Schroeder, CEO of Kempinski Group and Chairman of the Management Board of Kempinski AG, expressed delight by saying:

“We are pleased to add this magnificent property in a world-class destination to our international portfolio of luxury hotels and vacation residences. 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.”

Christophe Piffaretti, Chief Development Officer at Kempinski, reflected on the enduring partnership with JTRE, expressing pride:

“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.”

The development, adhering to the ethos of "less is more," prioritizes meticulous attention to detail and environmental sustainability. Positioned within the Princess Alexander National Park, the property respects the native landscape, ensuring an exclusive and low-traffic experience.

Marek Baca, Chief Representative for the Americas for JTRE, highlighted the Kempinski brand's elevation of international service and luxury standards by saying:

“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.”

The property offers multiple vacation and ownership options, featuring three main condo-style residences, four luxuriously appointed villas, and premium amenities such as a grand entrance, lush lobby, beach club, resort-style pools, spa, fitness center, tennis and paddle courts, kids club, and an indoor golf simulator. Two ownership scenarios, beachside condominiums, and private villas, provide diverse choices for potential investors. Pre-construction pricing and availability will be announced in early 2024.
