Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua is poised to become one of the most anticipated branded residential developments in the Caribbean. Scheduled for delivery in 2029, the $400-million-plus project will introduce Nikki Beach’s globally recognised barefoot-luxury lifestyle to Antigua’s west coast, offering a collection of 127 turnkey branded residences and a limited number of private beachfront villas.
Set within the Ayre Group’s redevelopment of Jolly Harbour, the project marks both Antigua’s first branded residential resort and the first Nikki Beach Resort in the Western Hemisphere, positioning it as a bellwether for the next phase of Caribbean luxury real estate.
Designed by HKS Architects in collaboration with ROAM Interior Design, Nikki Beach Residences Antigua draws direct inspiration from the island’s sandy shores, turquoise waters, and relaxed coastal rhythms. Interiors feature natural materials such as weathered wood, hand-smoothed plaster, and locally sourced stone, layered with woven textures, artisanal textiles, and subtle accents in coral and ocean blue.
Open layouts, expansive terraces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow define the residences, creating homes that feel refined yet grounded, and distinctly connected to Antigua’s landscape. The design prioritizes light, proportion, and livability, reinforcing the development’s focus on long-term residential ownership rather than transient resort use.
At the centre of the resort is the 11,000-square-foot Nikki Spa + Fitness Centre, a comprehensive wellness sanctuary designed to support longevity and everyday wellbeing. The facility will offer advanced therapies including red-light treatments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV infusions, and sound baths, alongside state-of-the-art fitness facilities and immersive programming.
From sunrise yoga to shoreline training sessions, wellness is positioned as an integral part of daily life, reflecting a broader shift in luxury branded residences toward holistic, lifestyle-driven living.
Residents of Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Antigua will enjoy access to a full suite of resort amenities, including the Nikki Beach Club, Café Nikki, Escape Restaurant, private concierge services, beachfront pools, water sports, and a dedicated children’s club. Together, these offerings create a full turnkey residential experience, balancing social energy with privacy and ease.
The development is designed to appeal equally to full-time residents, seasonal owners, and international buyers seeking flexibility without compromise.
As global demand for branded residences in the Caribbean continues to grow, Antigua is increasingly recognized as a lifestyle brand in its own right. Political stability, strong governance, and a well-established Citizenship by Investment Program have positioned the island as a credible destination for international developers and long-term investors.
Improved air access to major global cities, ongoing infrastructure investment, and a growing emphasis on sustainability have further strengthened Antigua’s appeal. For global hospitality and lifestyle brands, the island offers a rare combination of natural beauty, regulatory clarity, and long-term value.
Branded residences at Nikki Beach Antigua are priced from $1.2 million, with private villas starting from $5.5 million. As a pre-approved project under Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Programme, ownership offers qualified buyers and their families access to enhanced global mobility through one of the Caribbean’s most respected passports.
Beyond the financial and legal framework, the investment proposition is equally lifestyle-driven. Antigua’s relaxed island pace, under-five-hour flight access from New York, wellness-forward living, and design rooted in place combine to create a residential offering that prioritizes both quality of life and enduring value.
