~~Adz:Right~~ The project spans 2,500 acres with six spectacular beaches. Its natural harbour, sheltered by green hills and high bluffs, will provide the ideal setting for mega-yachts as centerpieces of a seaside village of restaurants, shops, boutiques, two five-star hotels managed by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and Auberge Resorts and oceanfront homes. Atop the green cliffs will be a Tom Fazio championship golf course and clubhouse plus a collection of luxurious villas and private homesites.
St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Tourism, Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas and Minister of State for Tourism, Hon. Richard Skerritt were in New York when the formal announcement was made earlier this week.
The partners represent several leading firms and diverse disciplines, working in synergy to create not merely a resort, but an unparalleled lifestyle experience within the framework of this unspoiled and progressive Caribbean isle.
The team includes leaders in the fields of hospitality, marine engineering, development, golf, architecture, landscape design, preservation and real estate. All are working closely with the government of St. Kitts.

The firm is best known for its role as the master planner of Kiawah Island, a residential resort community on a barrier island 21 miles from Charleston, S. C., and Doonbeg Golf Club in County Clare, Ireland.
Initially, two luxury hotels are planned for Christophe Harbour, accommodating visitors and yachting enthusiasts who will dock at the Marina or call it home. The first hotel will be a five-star boutique property under the management of Auberge Resorts, respected for its collection of exceptional hotels, resorts, spas and clubs.
The second five-star hotel will be managed by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, the award-winning owner and operator of some of the world's most prestigious hotels and resorts. Each property will be intimate, elegant and individually designed to take advantage of the splendid natural surroundings of these singular hotels.

Acclaimed as one of the world’s leading golf course architects, Tom Fazio has designed more than 200 spectacular golf courses in locales around the world. Many of Fazio’s courses rank in the Top 100 courses in America. He brings his creative talents, expertise and vision to Christophe Harbour where an 18-hole championship golf course will overlook the marina and the Caribbean Sea.
Thanks to its natural shelter of soaring hills and bluffs to 1,000 feet MSL, favorable winds and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, Christophe Harbour is considered an ideal natural setting for a luxury marina.
Developing this precious resource is Applied Technology & Management, a prominent engineering design and consulting firm, specializing in marine and waterfront development, water resource management, beach restoration and environmental science.
The new marina in St. Kitts will consist of approximately 300 acres of water surface, accommodating about vessels up to 300 feet in length.

Christophe Harbour offers exceptional real estate opportunities including harbour-side condominiums, oceanfront homes, golf villas and hillside retreats - all with superlative views of the Caribbean Sea.
These priorities will meet the growing demands of affluent second- and third-homeowners and affluent individuals seeking fine vacation homes with investment potential. Sales and marketing efforts will be headed by IMI, the leading luxury real estate sales and marketing firm in North America.
Working closely with premier developers and strategic partners, IMI has helped create some of the most recognized real estate communities in North America and the Caribbean, including Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, Ocean Club Estates, Bahamas and Viceroy Anguilla, Anguilla, BWI.
