Minor Hotels has announced plans to introduce its luxury Anantara brand to the Caribbean with the upcoming Anantara Turks and Caicos Resort & Residences, set to open in 2029 on North Caicos’ Sandy Point coastline.
The low-density development will feature 78 branded
residences, including beachfront villas available for private ownership,
designed by Miami-based RAD and Meyer Davis to emphasise seamless
indoor–outdoor island living.
Located just a short flight from Miami, North Caicos—known
as the “Garden Island”—offers a tranquil, nature-rich setting with pristine
beaches, privacy, and preserved landscapes.
The project responds to growing demand for branded
residences in exclusive resort destinations, supported by strong air
connectivity from major US and Canadian cities.
A private marina will link the resort to nearby cays and the
wider archipelago.
The development will also emphasise wellbeing inspired by
nature, featuring an Anantara Spa, outdoor wellness activities, fitness and
racquet sports facilities, and astronomy-led experiences at an on-site
observatory.
Dining will highlight locally sourced ingredients from
on-site gardens and orchards, complemented by beachfront venues.
Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International, the
parent company of Minor Hotels, said, “Introducing Anantara to the
Caribbean is a significant milestone for our group. The Turks and Caicos
Islands are among the world’s most recognised luxury destinations, and North
Caicos provides an ideal setting for our experiential and sustainability-driven
approach to hospitality. This key project strengthens our presence in the
Americas and reflects our commitment to expanding into destinations that
support meaningful travel, whilst also expanding our luxury footprint in North
America, aligning to our growth ambitions in the region.”
Caroline Domange, CEO of Octans and co-founder of Cheval
Blanc for LVMH, part of the project’s ownership team, said, “Very few
destinations offer the convenient access to both the serenity, and
extraordinary turquoise water, beaches and natural beauty that have made
Providenciales globally renowned. The preserved shores of North Caicos and its
people bring an even greater sense of both calm and joy. Together with
Anantara and our wider team that has proven experience in other notable
local developments, we are creating an investment opportunity that feels
deeply connected to the type of life well lived we all aspire to.” Locally-based
developer Rob Ayer, part of the project’s ownership team with a strong
track record, continued, “From the outset, our vision has been to build on
everything that has always made Turks and Caicos so compelling, while offering
the original experience of the destination.”
“The world-renowned Anantara brand and the exceptional attention to detail and emphasis on holistic experiences have become hallmarks of their properties around the world. It is a natural fit for the deeply embedded culture of well-being in North Caicos and marks the beginning of a new chapter for luxury lifestyles in the Turks and Caicos,” commented The Honourable Charles Washington Misick, Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands. -TTN
