The Black Bay Hotel will be an ultra luxury hotel (5 star plus) and will be one of the leading hotels in the Eastern Caribbean. The Black Bay Master Development will consist of a luxury branded hotel and villas, a small marina, and other amenities set on 180 acres on the un spoilt southern tip of the island. The site is on the Caribbean south west coast, within easy reach of the international airport and the Pitons, the world famous heritage site.
In May 2016 Range Developments signed a framework agreement with the Government of St. Lucia to acquire the Black Bay lands and develop Black Bay into an integrated master planned luxury touristic community. Investors can buy a limited share in the hotel from $300,000 onwards and can qualify for Saint Lucia Passport with family under the new citizenship-by-investment programme (St Lucia CIP).
The Black Bay Master Development will be developed in a number of phases. The hotel will boast 180 rooms and will be the central anchor of the Black Bay Master Development. The hotel will be partially financed under the St. Lucian Citizenship by Investment Program. Initial agreements have been signed with a hotel operator (one of the top 3 hotel operators globally). In keeping with our ethos, the hotel will be a leader in its class and built to the highest standards.
The estimated development value for the Black Bay Hotel is USD 130 million and will be a huge boost to the economy in the south of the island. Initial site works are expected to commence in Q4 2017 / Q1 2018
The Black Bay Hotel has been designed to ensure harmony with the land and sea with sensitivity shown towards the natural environment. The well known architect, Simeon Halstead has been engaged by Range Developments to design the hotel, as well as, a leading interior design firm from Asia. The Black Bay Hotel will feature 4 F & B outlets – one of which will be a specialty restaurant. The Black Bay Hotel will incorporate a holistic spa (10 treatment rooms) in additional to a well sized kids club. These elements are essential for a successful resort.
The Black Bay Hotel once complete will employ close to 600 individuals on a full time basis. Again, the indirect economic impact of the hotel will be felt across St Lucia with twice this number of individuals being employed supporting the hotel’s operations.
