Regent Hotels & Resorts
In April, Regent Hotels & Resorts made its Caribbean debut with The Regent Palms Turks and Caicos, a luxury resort enclave on Grace Bay Beach. The resort, which overlooks the turquoise waters of Grace Bay Beach, features 72 luxury guest suites housed in five coral stone buildings that form a semicircle around a serpentine infinity pool. The Spa at The Regent Palms offers an array of pampering services for both men and women, and showcases two of the most highly acclaimed skincare names in beauty: Somme Institute and Sonya Dakar. The resort is owned by Palms Holdings Ltd. and Village Lot 24, Ltd.
The Regent Palms joins Regent’s growing portfolio of new and in-development properties around the world. The company’s well-defined growth plan in the U.S. includes The Regent Bal Harbour, opening in 2007, and The Regent Boston at Battery Wharf opening in 2008.
Regent’s existing portfolio encompasses eight properties in the cities of Beijing, Berlin, Miami Beach, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei and Zagreb.
Other future developments include properties in Bangkok, Thailand; The Republic of Maldives, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Papagayo, Costa Rica; and Dubrovnik, Croatia. The Regent Maldives, which is located off the southwestern tip of India in the Indian Ocean, is due to open in 2008. It will feature 23 beach villas and 27 over-water villas, including two presidential villas, allowing guests to observe the abundant marine life directly beneath their rooms. The resort will occupy the entire Maalefushi Island, just 50 minutes by seaplane from the capital city of Male.
