Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Tourism Minister Charles “Max” Fernandez have met with the new British owners of Curtain Bluff Resort, who plan a $40m redevelopment of the luxury property.
Tim and Pat Scott, long-time visitors to the island, outlined a three-phase project to transform the 72-room resort into one of the Caribbean’s leading destinations.
This summer, $10m is being spent refurbishing 42 suites and rebuilding the Sea Grape restaurant. Future phases will include beachfront villas, a redesigned reception area, a new jetty and, ultimately, a landmark seven-bedroom villa with an infinity pool overlooking the sea.
Once complete, Curtain Bluff will expand to 88 suites and employ around 300 staff.
The investment comes as Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism sector attracts major projects, including a new Marriott Hotel, Global Ports Holding’s landside development in St John’s, and the Robert De Niro-backed Nobu Hotel in Barbuda, which will feature 50 villas ready for the next tourist season.
Officials say the wave of developments will strengthen the country’s position as a high-end regional destination.

Curtain bluff white owners just want the blessing of our prime minister to extricate them from the negative feed back they are getting from old road as they show their full Jim crow ideology trying to move all black people from there ancestor land, using pressure and financial enticement on old senior citizens that are experiencing dementia. The prime minister or social welfare should warn curtain bluff from such fraudulent act under their ethno supremacists ideology.
Some have money and others don’t. Those who have can afford to do this and all we can do is wish them well.
I may not be able to afford a night at curtain bluff but I ain’t mad at those who can
Antigua and Barbuda is clearly positioning itself as the Caribbean’s luxury capital. That’s a smart move.
$40 million going into Curtain Bluff plus new hotels and ports, that’s hundreds of jobs for locals. Can’t complain about that.
