Set on 85 secluded acres including 900 meters of pristine beachfront, Rosewood Barbuda will feature the brand’s integrative wellness concept, Asaya Spa® with a menu of treatments and experiential offerings that address Rosewood’s five pillars of wellness: emotional balance, fitness and nutrition, physical therapies, skin health, and community. In addition to the spa’s six treatment rooms, wellness seekers can also enjoy an expansive fitness center and two pools, including one dedicated to families.
Offering a diverse culinary program, the property will feature three unique dining outlets including a farm-to-table restaurant, which will showcase the flavors of the island by making use of local produce.
Hon. Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda said “This significant investment will greatly boost Barbuda’s local economy, providing employment and services for the island’s citizens. With sustainable development at the core of the hotel’s construction, the project will solidify Barbuda’s position as the destination of choice for the discerning traveler.”
Rosewood Barbuda is set to open in 2028 and will seamlessly encapsulate Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place® philosophy by reflecting the island’s unspoiled natural beauty and vibrant culture.
