Nikki Beach Hotels and Resorts Opening March 2008 in Turks and Caicos islands

   Miami Beach, Florida (September 17, 2007) – Miami-based Nikki Beach has just announced Nikki Beach Resort and Spa Turks and Caicos as its newest destination for glamorous parties, spectacular entertainment, and first class service. Nikki Beach, in partnership with Leeward Resort Ltd, has designed the Nikki Beach Resort and Spa Turks and Caicos as a majestic sanctuary in the Caribbean for international jet setters and yachters alike. The resort rests on white sandy beaches within a gated 423 acre resort on the northeast tip of the island of Providenciales and comprises a 5 star hotel, spa, night club, signature Nikki Beach Club, and eco-friendly marina. The Nikki Beach Club, Marina Club Villas and the Marina will open in March 2008 and the 100 room Nikki Beach Resort and Spa will open in 2009.  

The Nikki Beach Resort and Spa is a collection of extravagant suites in paradise complemented by a supreme standard of service and luxury that includes a personal butler. You can relax in style in a 1 or 2 bedroom stylish Nikki Beach Resort Residence Suite with fabulous balcony views, the finest linens and granite kitchen and bathrooms. Nikki Beach has designed every detail to enhance the Turks and Caicos experience. ”Nikki Beach Resort and Spa is being developed in response to the demand for superior accommodations, entertainment, and amenities for the international yachter and vacationer to the Turks and Caicos,” comments local businessman Rodney Propps, Managing Director of the Leeward Resort and Leeward Marina. With the Marina Club Villas sold out, Nikki Beach Resort residences are currently for sale and are eligible for placement in the rental program managed by Nikki Beach Resorts. 

      The Nikki Beach Resort and Spa also will feature free form pools and sculptured tropical gardens, with its signature Nikki Beach Club providing its unique blend of poolside entertainment, VIP Cabanas and casual dining. Modeled after the Nikki Beach Clubs in St. Tropez and St. Barths, the Beach Club will have signature opium beds, bottle service and dynamic sex appeal.

      “Turks and Caicos is home to one of the most biologically diverse coral reef habitats and the best tropical beaches in the world and the Leeward Marina and Nikki Beach Resort is designed to protect and preserve our country’s natural beauty while creating a environment of economic growth,” stated the Premier of the Turks & Caicos Islands, the Honorable Michael Misick.

Leeward’s world class mega yacht marina is scheduled to open in March 2008 with the Nikki Beach Club. It will be the world’s first eco-marina, designed to protect and preserve the pristine water in which it sets. It features state-of-the-art facilities such as 15’ wide concrete floating docks; deep water, 24 hour access, dock space for up to 50 mega yachts, including cruisers up to 200ft; an on-site Customs and Immigration Services office; and a VIP lounge for crews. All guests of the Leeward Marina will have access to all of the Nikki Beach Resort and Spa 5 star amenities and services.

     Experience the ultimate personalized indulgence in the 16,000 square foot Nikki Beach Spa. Nikki Beach has thoughtfully designed this island retreat with his and hers private lounges and treatment suites that allow couples and friends to share the moment, for a full- or half-day of customized pampering. At the Nikki Beach Spa you can discover new ways to relax, be refreshed, and be reinvigorated with all the indulgences of our one-of-a-kind spa treatments and holistic services in a luxurious environment nestled within the natural beauty of Turks and Caicos.                                                                                                                             

     “The location is superb,” says Gary Sims, President and CEO of Nikki Beach Hotels & Resorts. The Turks and Caicos have undiscovered natural beauty that makes it a world class destination in the Caribbean for our luxury resort entertainment lifestyle brand. It makes a spectacular backdrop for a Nikki Beach ultra lounge, beach club and our 5 star restaurant will be a distinctive connoisseur event with flavorful cuisine, Nikki Beach-inspired ambiance, and exceptional service. And, as a highlight to the experience, our guests will be able to enjoy the best in entertainment until dawn.” Nikki Beach Resort and Spa also plans on participating in the many festivals of the islands, including the Turks and Caicos International Film Festival and the Turks and Caicos Music and Cultural Festival.  

     Getting to Turks and Caicos, located just south of the Bahama Islands in the eastern Caribbean, is easy -- there are international flights to and from Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta and New York direct to Providenciales daily. Or you can just cruise or sail right in, via the Atlantic Ocean.
