A major new luxury real estate project is coming to Puerto Rico.

The St Regis Bahia Beach Resort has announced a new $85 million beachfront residential development called Ocean Drive.

The project, which is comprised of 30 condominium residences across three beachfront buildings, will range from 3,379 to 4,048 square feet of interior space.

All of the units will come with hotel service and amenities by St Regis.

The project is being accompanied by another development: The Atlantic Drive Estates, a collection of coastal home sites just west of the St. Regis Resort.

That project will consist of custom-designed homes, either in golf or lake locations.

The announcement comes as the St. Regis recently reopened its resort after a $60 million renovation.

Is there a hotter destination in the Caribbean right now?

Whether it’s new brands on the way, spectacular eateries or terrific boutique hotels, Antigua and Barbuda is rapidly becoming one of the Caribbean’s in-demand destinations.

And now it’s even easier to get there.

Morris Bay, Antigua.

Delta Air Lines has officially launched its first-ever service from New York to Antigua, with the start of new weekly flights from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The new service complements existing flights from Atlanta to Antigua.

The new flights, which began operating Dec. 22, will run weekly on Saturdays.

The Inn at English Harbour in Antigua.

The flights depart JFK at 8:35 AM and arrive in Antigua at 1:49 PM, while the return flights leave Antigua at 2:50 PM and arrive in New York at 6:31 PM.

It puts the spotlight on a destination that has become remarkably diverse in recent years, from the Caribbean’s greatest concentration of high-end all-inclusives to an impressive cultural and historical offering.

It’s also another boost for the island’s recently-transformed VC Bird International Airport, which was recently named Caribbean Airport of the Year in Caribbean Journal’s Caribbean Travel Awards 2018.

The launch comes just as American Airlines added a second daily flight to Antigua out of Miami International Airport.
