The Ayre Group and Nikki Beach Hospitality Group, the global luxury lifestyle hospitality company, announced their partnership to open Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua, which will also feature a beach club – Nikki Beach Antigua – as well as branded, private Nikki Beach Residences. The US $400m+ development will be an immediate neighbour to the powdery-white sandy beaches of the Jolly Harbour community.
From Humble Beginnings
Founded in 1998 by Jack and Lucia Penrod as a small cafe by the sea in Miami Beach, Nikki Beach Resorts & Spa is a luxury hospitality brand renowned for its stylish and vibrant beachfront resorts, with locations in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. The brand combines a chic, contemporary atmosphere with high-end amenities, including luxurious accommodations, spa treatments, and world-class restaurants. While relaxation is a staple across Nikki Beach accommodations, they’re also known for bringing the fun through their iconic beach clubs worldwide.
The First Nikki Beach Residences in the Caribbean
Destinations around the world offer a unique blend of luxury, style, and beachfront allure. From the sun-kissed shores of Saint Tropez and Mallorca to the vibrant energy of Dubai and Miami, each Nikki Beach property reflects the brand’s signature lifestyle—sophisticated yet laid-back, social yet serene. With only two other branded residences in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, the Nikki Beach Residences in Antigua will mark the first in the Caribbean.
“We look forward to introducing the Nikki Beach experience to the stunning island of Antigua, marking our first resort and residences in the Caribbean and our second beach club after Saint Barth. We look forward to expanding in the region and providing our guests with an exciting new destination where they can Celebrate Life with us, all while enjoying Antigua’s natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant community,” said Lucia Penrod, Cofounder, CEO and Owner of Nikki Beach Hospitality Group.
Community Benefits and Local Opportunities
Charles “Max” Fernandez, Minister of Tourism, stated that, “The project will create significant local employment, both directly and indirectly, which is particularly welcome post the global pandemic wreaking havoc on the hospitality industry.”
With tourism being one of the most important sectors in Antigua and Barbuda’s economy, the Island welcomes the new project with open arms. A significant investment will be made in the resort’s development over time and the expectation is to provide around 300 long-term jobs on the island, along with a similar number of shorter-term construction jobs.
The country’s diverse offerings—beaches, resorts, heritage sites, and natural attractions—make it an attractive destination for visitors seeking both relaxation and adventure.
“I welcome Nikki Beach Hospitality Group’s 5-Star tourism development project to the shores of Antigua. Nikki Beach is a luxury brand that is celebrated for its cutting-edge architecture, contemporary dining, and amenities. The construction of this hotel will accelerate the transformation of Antigua and Barbuda as a luxury destination here in the Caribbean. I am sure many inquisitive travellers will want to enjoy the Nikki Beach experience here in Antigua. Nikki Beach ranks so highly among travellers with exquisite taste, that the outcome of its presence here will be mutually beneficial to all stakeholders,” says Prime Minister, Gaston Browne.
Architectural Excellence: HKS and ROAM’s Vision
Designed by HKS Architects and ROAM Interior Design (formerly HKS Hospitality Interiors), two of the world’s leading design firms for the hospitality, leisure, and entertainment industries, Nikki Beach Residences Antigua blends the relaxation of Island living with luxury designs.
Cozy nooks and serene escapes can be found throughout the property, with impeccable beach views, greenery at every turn, and areas for entertaining. These residences provide the thrill of community mixed with private living – where evenings can be filled with events, live music, and intimate beach-side dinners.
The property will boast state of the art facilities including 82 hotel rooms and suites, 181 luxury branded residences of up to four bedrooms, comprising studios, apartments, and beach-front villas of varying sizes, with a total of 263 resort keys reflecting 876 guest beds on-site.
Luxury Meets Wellness: On-Site Amenities Redefined
Besides the iconic beach club with its own boat drop-off point, there will be five additional food and beverage outlets on-site as well as extensive health and wellness areas including Tone Gym and Nikki Spa. To infuse wellness with the serene surroundings, there will also be cryo, hyperbaric, hydrothermal, red-light, and IV therapy rooms, an aquatic centre, and an exclusive residence owner’s lounge with a private gym.
The combination of world-class facilities nestled in breathtaking natural beauty will make Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua and the Nikki Beach Residences a high-end destination for guests and residence owners alike.
