Minor Hotels plans to bring its Anantara Hotels & Resorts brand to the Caribbean for the first time with the development of Anantara Turks and Caicos Resort & Residences, a mixed-use luxury project scheduled to open in 2029.
Located along the Sandy Point coastline of North Caicos, the low-density development will have 78 branded residences, including beachfront villas offered for private ownership. The project reflects Minor Hotels’ continued expansion of its luxury and residential portfolio in high-demand resort destinations.
“Introducing Anantara to the Caribbean is a significant milestone for our group,” Dillip Rajakarier, group CEO of Minor International, parent company of Minor Hotels, said in a statement. “The Turks and Caicos Islands are among the world’s most recognized luxury destinations, and North Caicos provides an ideal setting for our experiential and sustainability-driven approach to hospitality.”
Designed by Miami-based RAD and Meyer Davis, the development will emphasize indoor-outdoor living and a strong connection to the surrounding natural environment. North Caicos—often referred to as the “Garden Island”—offers a quieter, more preserved alternative to the more developed parts of the archipelago, aligning with Anantara’s positioning around privacy, wellness and authentic local experiences.
The resort will include a private marina providing access to nearby cays, as well as a comprehensive wellness offering centered on the Anantara Spa, which will draw inspiration from native plants and botanicals cultivated on site. Additional planned amenities include multiple swimming pools, fitness and yoga facilities, tennis, padel and pickleball courts, water sports offerings and an on-site observatory designed to support astronomy-led wellness and leisure experiences.
Minor Hotels said the development is designed to respond to growing demand for branded residential living in highly accessible luxury resort markets. The Turks and Caicos Islands are located approximately 575 miles southeast of Miami and benefit from direct air connections to major U.S. and Canadian cities.
“Very few destinations offer such convenient access paired with the serenity and natural beauty that have made Turks and Caicos globally renowned,” said Caroline Domange, CEO of Octans and a member of the project’s ownership group. “The preserved shores of North Caicos and its people bring an even greater sense of calm and joy.”
The Anantara Turks and Caicos project supports Minor Hotels’ broader strategy to expand its luxury presence across the Americas while leveraging mixed-use developments to diversify revenue streams and strengthen long-term owner value.
