IHG Signs Three Resorts in Turks & Caicos

Dark/Light Mode (21/05/24)  IHG has signed three resorts in Turks & Caicos, an archipelago of low-lying islands southeast of Bahamas.

Developed in partnership with owner Molo Hotel Group and UK-based management group Lighthouse Hotel Management, both Slominski family-owned companies, the InterContinental, Kimpton and Hotel Indigo resorts will mark IHG’s debut on the Caribbean island.

The three resorts are scheduled to open by 2027.

Set on Turks & Caicos’ picturesque Grace Bay, the properties will be brought to life by Glasgow-based architecture and interior design studio Ica, working in partnership with Turks & Caicos-based Conservative Architecture and Miami-based landscape architecture firm EDSA.

IHG's three resorts in Turks & Caicos are scheduled to open by 2027

InterContinental Turks & Caicos: Boasting a coveted beachfront location, the new-build InterContinental Turks & Caicos will span seven floors. The all-suite property will have 59 suites offering panoramic ocean vistas, a ground floor restaurant and bar, outdoor pool, on-site fitness center and signature Club InterContinental Lounge.

Kimpton Turks & Caicos: The 192-room new-build pet-friendly Kimpton Turks & Caicos will feature three outdoor pools as well as a spa and fitness center; seven dining options including a beachfront restaurant, rooftop bar, poolside bars, ice cream and coffee parlor, juice bar as well as a ground floor restaurant and lobby bar.

Hotel Indigo Turks & Caicos: Just steps away from the InterContinental and Kimpton resorts outlined above, the 56-room Hotel Indigo Turks & Caicos will be spread over one new building as well as two existing structures that will undergo a complete transformation. Facilities will include an on-site restaurant, lobby bar or coffee shop, while an outdoor pool and fitness room will be available exclusively for those staying on-property.

“As we expand IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle presence across the Americas, we’re doing so with thoughtful intention. Turks & Caicos is one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular destinations, and we’re excited to mark the company’s much-anticipated debut there with our InterContinental, Kimpton and Hotel Indigo brands,” said Paul Adan, Regional SVP of Development, Mexico, Latin America and Caribbean for IHG. “These stunning havens will welcome visitors and locals alike with unique, yet complementary experiences. We also are especially thrilled to expand our partnership with Molo Hotel Group.”

Situated on the north coast of Turks & Caicos’ Providenciales and part of the Princess Alexandra National Park, Grace Bay Beach often is lauded as one of the best beaches in the world, including on TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards.

Celebrated for its pristine turquoise waters and soft white sand beaches, Grace Bay is protected by an extensive barrier reef, making it an ideal destination for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Those seeking adventure beyond the sea can enjoy Turks & Caicos’ coastal hiking trails, bird watching and scenic wetlands.

“We believe that these developments will not only bolster our tourism sector, but also significantly contribute to the overall well-being of our society,” said Angela Musgrove, CEO of Invest Turks and Caicos. “Attracting such investment to the islands is essential for enhancing the economy and fostering the growth of local enterprises through affiliations with the resorts. Moreover, it will fortify the educational opportunities for the local population through the close relationship and programmes which have been established with the Turks and Caicos Islands Community College. Invest TCI is pleased to work with Molo to ensure that we collaborate with stakeholders so that the maximum impact of the development can be felt within the community.”
