Wyndham Hotel Group announced plans to open a new resort estimated to be about US$160 million.

The beachfront Wyndham Grand Nevis will be situated within Northern Pointe Resort, a new 30-acre luxury real estate development being built along Long Haul Bay in St. James’ Parish. Phase One of the project and construction is expected to begin by mid-2017 and when completed in 2019, the resort will feature 170 suites, condominiums and villas ranging from 900 to 5,100 square feet; a private beach club; five dining areas; infinity pools; more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space; a spa; and more.

“The Nevis Island Government is delighted with the announcement from Wyndham Hotels of its expansion into Nevis,” said Honorable Mark Brantley, Minister of Tourism for Nevis.

This marks Wyndham Hotel Group’s continued rapid expansion through the region, with the hotel giant currently operating 13 hotels in the Caribbean, with the recent addition of 23 operating hotels and three soon-to-open locations to the company’s portfolio across Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Paraguay and the U.S.
