Kempinski Hotels Breaks Ground on Luxury Resort and Residences at Turks and Caicos' Grace Bay Beach

Kempinski Hotels, Europe's oldest luxury hotel group, together with international developer JTRE, celebrated the groundbreaking of Kempinski Grace Bay, an exclusive hotel and residential project featuring private apartments and beachfront villas along Grace Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos. The ceremony was attended by The Honourable Charles Washington Misick, Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Her Excellency Anya Williams, Deputy Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands, along with other senior government officials and project partners from around the world.

As global interest in the Turks and Caicos Islands continues to grow, this development brings one of the world's most distinguished hospitality names to the pristine shores, representing an important step in the islands' evolution as a world-class destination. The project offers investors and visitors the opportunity to experience the cultural heritage and natural beauty through the lens of luxury and impeccable service. Sitting across 11 acres of secluded shoreline, the development brings Kempinski's 128-year legacy of European hospitality to the Turks and Caicos Islands for the first time.

Developed by JTRE, whose international portfolio includes acclaimed developments across London, Slovakia, and Germany as detailed on their website https://www.jtre.sk, the project redefines coastal living through understated architecture, attention to detail and deep respect for the natural surroundings. The property's low-density design features 119 private residences and four oceanfront villas, all oriented toward panoramic sea views. Interiors draw inspiration from the island's serene palette, including limestone, timber, and glass, creating a seamless dialogue between indoor and outdoor living.

Residents and guests will enjoy an array of signature amenities, including fine dining venues, a beach club, a 3,000 square foot wine cellar, a European spa, an ocean view fitness area, and a sports pavilion featuring tennis and padel courts along with a children's club. Sustainability is woven into every detail, from insulated glass and solar systems to native landscaping nourished by recycled water. Construction will continue through 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028.
