Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of AMARIS Grace Bay to its exclusive LXR Hotels & Resorts portfolio, a distinctive resort and residential development set to debut in 2028 on the world-renowned Grace Bay Beach. Located along pristine shores, AMARIS brings a new dimension of curated luxury to Turks & Caicos, offering travelers an intimate escape defined by exceptional design and personalized service. AMARIS Grace Bay, LXR Hotels & Resorts is owned by SEFAMM (TCI) Ltd.
Situated along one of the planet’s most breathtaking shorelines, AMARIS Grace Bay will rise as a captivating presence that blends contemporary Caribbean design and sophistication. This mixed-use retreat will feature 170 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, including one-to-four-bedroom branded residences, each framing sweeping views of the iconic turquoise bay.
The resort’s design draws inspiration from the rich tones and textures of its natural surroundings, incorporating tactile materials such as woven fabrics and polished wood to create a seamless connection between interior spaces and the environment. A stunning contemporary design ethos will fuse natural textures with modern aesthetics, reflecting the island’s beauty.
Guests and residents will be invited to savor exceptional dining across two specialty restaurants, an Aegean-meets-Caribbean beachfront restaurant and a Japanese Grill with omakase counter, paired with signature bars serving refreshing, convivial cocktails and light bites.
Dedicated pool and beach service will ensure effortless relaxation while wellness enthusiasts will be able to rejuvenate at a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center spanning nearly 10,000 square feet. Social, groups and incentive travelers will appreciate an intimate 970-square-foot event space ideal for meetings and gatherings. Families and little adventurers will be well catered to with a fully equipped kids’ club and game room, creating memorable moments for every guest.
AMARIS Grace Bay will redefine the Caribbean escape as a vibrant cultural and social hub, inviting travelers, residents and locals to connect deeply with the spirit of Turks and Caicos. Through the brand’s signature Pursuit of Adventure program, guests will embark on immersive experiences, from curated on-property activities to exclusive excursions, crafted to celebrate the island’s heritage and natural beauty. The atmosphere will blaze with energy: rhythmic drumbeats and the call of the conch shell mingle with the scent of sea salt, while touches of light and bonfires on the beach for culinary events create spaces for storytelling and connection. Every detail will honor local traditions while embracing Hilton’s commitment to responsibility, championing eco-conscious practices, sourcing locally, and fostering meaningful engagement with the community.
