The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has set its sights on the tiny island of St. Kitts, announcing its first-ever property in the destination in the year 2021.

The company announced a newly signed management agreement with The Liamuiga Corporation to open a Ritz-Carlton resort in St. Kitts, which will include 125 suites plus 25 branded villas and residences. Located on the picturesque Southeast Peninsula, it will also boast a luxury spa, several swimming pools, and indoor and outdoor dining facilities and meeting spaces.

The Ritz-Carlton resort is estimated to create 300 jobs on the island during construction, with a further expected 250 jobs once it becomes operational.
