A new five-star resort located on the Valley Church beach in Antigua has been announced by the Ayre Group, with work set to commence later this year.
Encompassing a Bodog Casino Club and Wellness Centre in addition a multitude of luxurious amenities, it is stated that this could form the first of a number of Ayre style branded properties worldwide.
It was also stated that all Ayre resorts will accept Bitcoin Cash at point of sale terminals on the properties and through its online booking engine
Calvin Ayre, chairman of the Ayre Group, commented: “In my discussions with Government about the project we agreed that the new resort was very much in keeping with the government’s strategy for further upscale tourism development.
“This resort will attract a totally new market segment of tourism on the island – successful wellness seekers who also want to have fun.
“The property will not be an all-inclusive destination, instead, its amenities will be available to residents of Antigua and Barbuda and visitors alike.
“I am confident that the type of guest we will attract will wish to explore Antigua – its culture and history, as well as all of our many diverse attractions and activities.
“We are focused on creating for a very special market, a world-class resort and unforgettable experience, but also one which benefits the broader economy across the whole island.”
Gaston Browne, Antigua Prime Minister, added: “We expect the resort’s novel and exciting concept to broaden Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism product and bring a new category of tourists to our islands.
“Furthermore, the additional resort rooms will help drive an increased number of airline seats to Antigua, further boosting the island’s tourism profile, and expand our economy. We look forward to working with Mr. Ayre on this resort and the many other investments he has made in Antigua.”
