SANTA BARBARA, CURA\u00c7AO, December 10, 2020 \u2013 Sandals Resorts International (SRI), the world’s leading all-inclusive<\/a> company, announced today the signing of an agreement that will bring Sandals\u00ae Resorts to a brand-new destination, at the Santa Barbara Resort on the island of Cura\u00e7ao.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This will mark the ninth island destination for the brand in the Caribbean region. The new Sandals Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> will initially include 350-luxurious rooms and suites stretched along the Spanish Water Bay and the Caribbean Sea, with a further expansion planned in the coming years. Formerly the Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, part of a broader 3,000-acre development, the resort will be completely \u201cSandalized,\u201d a process set to begin in 2021.<\/p>\n

Sandals Cura\u00e7ao will bring the opulent resort innovations to the island, which have become synonymous with the world-renowned Sandals Resorts brand across the region. Conceptual plans for the resort include adding key elements for the signature Sandals experience, including new expansive pools, a variety of 5-Star Global Gourmet\u2122 dining options and lavish accommodations, including magnificent newly constructed River Suites. Guests will also have access to the neighboring 18-hole Pete Dye championship golf course, two onsite marinas and 38,000-square-feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, the largest on the island.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

World-famous for its vibrant culture, pristine beaches and coves, Cura\u00e7ao also boasts spectacular dive sites and exotic marine ecosystems. With year-round temperatures of 80 degrees, it’s touted as the perfect anytime-escape. The resort will have a positive, immediate and long-term impact on the island and the people of Cura\u00e7ao. In year one alone, it is expected to have an over $40 million economic footprint and an impressive track record on the creation of new employment. The resort alone will add over 1,200 local jobs, comprised of 800 new team members, and 400 local tradesmen and craftsmen. This will be followed by a positive economic ripple-effect for the community extending to the local taxi and transportation sectors, wider supply chain, agriculture, increased airlift and increased yearly tourism numbers\u2014especially with the key US tourism market.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Roald Smeets, Director of the Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort, said: “We have a unique opportunity to attract a globally-recognized hotel operator, owner and investor such as Sandals Resorts, which will bring an unprecedented boon to the Cura\u00e7ao tourism industry and the local economy. Its position as both a hotel operator and owner, with the ability to attract regular scheduled airlines from North America, distinctly marks it out from other hotel groups. We found its impressive plans for the site and dedication to building the profile of Cura\u00e7ao as a world-class tourism destination particularly compelling. Its future investment into the community will reinvigorate the tourism market, secure the livelihoods of hundreds of families and benefit every individual on the island through rejuvenating the local economy. Cura\u00e7ao has a tremendous future ahead, due to this exciting new venture, which will put Cura\u00e7ao truly on the global stage.”<\/p>\n

Sandals Resorts International Founder and Chairman, the Hon. Gordon “Butch” Stewart, along with Deputy Chairman Adam Stewart, had this to share: “It has been our distinct pleasure to work alongside the government of Cura\u00e7ao and the Smeets family on this exciting new endeavor for the Sandals brand,” stated Gordon “Butch” Stewart. \u201cWe wish to express our deepest gratitude to Roald Smeets, who has been instrumental to this process and absolutely delightful to work with. We plan to do more than our part to raise the world’s appreciation of this beautiful country.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Adam Stewart added, “Each time we expand, we bring with us the full potential of our 40-years in hospitality. The new Sandals Cura\u00e7ao embodies our philosophy of forward-thinking and looking through a new lens. It is a promise not only to our guests but to our team members for continued innovation. Cura\u00e7ao is a place to be discovered, and we are so proud today to become part of this community.”<\/p>\n
