Sandals Opens All-Suite Village in Antigua
Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa welcomed celebrities, tour operators, travel agents and media to the grand opening of its new, all-suite Mediterranean Village. The three-day extravaganza kicked off Thursday 4 October with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Gordon “Butch” Stewart, chairman and founder of Sandals Resorts.
Guests were treated to an exclusive “Taste of Antigua” event featuring authentic Antigua culinary delights followed by knock-out performance by Shaggy. On Friday, guests made their way to an exotic island beach party featuring an over-the-pool concert by Grammy-award winning artist, Sean Paul.
For the grand finale on Saturday, a heart-stopping fireworks display illuminated the sky over Sandals Grande Antigua as guests danced to the musical beats of one of Hollywood’s top entertainers, DJ Splyce.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 4, Mr. Stewart alongside his son and CEO of Sandals Resorts, Adam Stewart, announced to agents, tour operators and media that Sandals Resorts had moved beyond the all-inclusive label.
“This is a defining moment for Sandals Resorts. We have moved beyond the all-inclusive category and the often maligned all-inclusive connotation,” said Stewart during the grand opening celebration.
Perched on a west-facing hilltop overlooking the sea in Antigua, Sandals Resorts’ new Mediterranean Village at the Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa is the first all-suite property to welcome guests for the luxury included experience with its 180 luxurious suites, the largest freshwater pool in the Eastern Caribbean, chic poolside cabanas, brand-new shopping village, four new dining options, new state-of-the-art meeting and banquet space, plus expanded Red Lane Spa facilities.
