Park Hyatt St. Kitts Announces Summer 2017 Opening

The 126-room resort will span the secluded beach of Banana Bay at the foot of the island's lush rolling hills. Guests will 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 center, and indoor and outdoor event spaces, the resort will introduce unprecedented luxury and the unparalleled Park Hyatt brand experience to the Caribbean.

All 78 rooms and 48 suites arch and face the golden sandy beach of Banana Bay. Sustainably designed with local materials and unique water features throughout, Park Hyatt St. Kitts will reflect the island's rich heritage and culture, and seamlessly intertwine contemporary architecture and colonial design. Each room's chic décor will showcase the views of the Caribbean Sea and the lush resort grounds, with luxurious touches such as private balconies and terraces, local artwork, rain-showers and deep soaking tubs. Premium suites will feature private rooftop swimming pools and sundecks. The three-bedroom Presidential Villa will be the ultimate indulgence for discerning guests, equipped with a private infinity pool, wellness area, personal butler and private chef.

“We are honoured to be so warmly welcomed into the St. Kitts & Nevis community and are strongly committed to being a key partner in the growth of the destination,” says Julian Moore, General Manager of Park Hyatt St. Kitts. “We are excited to be introducing our guests to the unique Park Hyatt experience and embrace the vibrant culture, history and people that define the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis.”

The resort will showcase exceptional local and international cuisine through three distinct dining experiences. The Great House, reflective of a grand colonial home, will offer all-day dining, a Rum Bar, herb garden, chef's table, and a conservatory serving afternoon tea. The Fisherman's Village will serve ocean-to-table lunch and dinner perched on the water. Its design will reflect the huts and berths that once lined the coastline of St. Kitts. The Stone Barn will bring an adult-only intimate dining experience with ‘food from the hearth' and an extensive wine list. Pool bars will offer the region's finest rum.

An enclave of sophisticated wellness, The Sugar Mill Spa & Sanctuary will be home to nine treatment rooms, Watsu therapy, and a 1,750-square-foot, 24-hour fitness club. A luxury destination unto itself, treatments will incorporate local herbs, and the shadow of the resort's Sugar Mill will provide a tranquil location for daily yoga and meditation. With dramatic views of neighboring Nevis, the resort will present an abundance of activities for resort guests, including snorkeling, motorized water sports in the neighboring bay, adult and family swimming pools, boat excursions and, for the adventurous, the annual organized swim from St. Kitts to Nevis.

Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour has developed a series of enriching ‘Journeys' which will introduce guests to the history, culture and people of the Federation, which until 2005 still had sugar production as its dominant industry. True to the Park Hyatt brand's commitment to bring rare and intimate experiences to travelers, each immersive Journey itinerary will be curated to feature local activities and interactions with interesting personalities. From walks with an island historian and rainforest excursions, to visiting a UNESCO fortress deeply ingrained in Caribbean history. For the resort's youngest guests, The Island Fort by Camp Hyatt will offer educational activities surrounding the robust culture of St. Kitts & Nevis.

Events on St. Kitts were traditionally held in private homes, and the resort has returned to these origins with The Reception Hall–featuring five private event spaces, an outdoor terrace and two event lawns. Perfect for incentive groups and destination weddings, groups will find a wealth of options for any special celebration.
