Anguilla’s Newest Resort Is Reopening

Posted on by

Tranquility Beach Anguilla, the newest resort on the island, is reopening Nov. 1, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Meads Bay bay beach resort will relaunch as part of the new Meads Bay Beach “bubble,” meaning vacationing-in-place guests can swim in the sea, use beach chairs, play on the white-sand beach and starting mid-November can dine at Straw Hat, Blanchards and other participating restaurants. 

The new resort has a total of 15 luxury condominiums on Meads Bay Beach, all with concierge service and housekeeping. 

Each unit has its own private terrace with a hot-cold tub. 

“Our guests can have the fun-filled vacation they are craving beginning on day one,” said Property Manager Deanna Cabrera, formerly of Auberge Resorts. 

“Tranquility Beach is also an attractive first stop for travelers who want to spend their stay-in-place time on the beach in the Meads Bay ‘bubble’ before moving inland,” said owner Janine Edwards. 

The resort first opened its doors in January 2020.

The property, which is the only Park Hyatt resort in the wider Caribbean region, is relaunching under Hyatt’s recently-announced Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment, the product of consultations between Hyatt, the Cleveland Clinic and other “trusted industry advisors.”

That includes everything from enhanced digital amenities on the World of Hyatt App to a focus on “the luxury of space,” with reimagined on and off-property experiences from yoga to private excursions. 

The Park Hyatt St Kitts was named Caribbean Hotel of the Year in 2018 in the Caribbean Travel Awards, just a year after opening for the first time.

Posted on by

Travel company TUI has made its return to Saint Lucia. 

The travel giant has resumed weekly direct flights from London Gatwick to Saint Lucia’s Hewanorra International Airport. 

The flights will run through March 2021, according to Saint Lucia tourism officials. 

The first flight this week brought 182 passengers and crew to Saint Lucia. 

“We want to thank our people again for their continued commitment to maintaining our Covid-19 protocols. It’s not an easy task but it’s necessary and is one of the reasons why major travel brands such as TUI support Saint Lucia year after year, even in these most challenging times,” said Saint Lucia Minister of Tourism Dominic Fedee. “Our international visitors have now come to understand the importance of our health measures and checks when they visit us. We know that they choose Saint Lucia because they feel safe and of course they are going to have a great time.”

On Nov. 5, TUI will launch a second weekly flight to the UK, with service out of Manchester to Saint Lucia. 

Saint Lucia reopened for tourism in June.
