“Since the reopening of the construction site on May 11,the safety of our working men and women on site has been prioritized, following local health guidelines…whereas these guidelines have added unexpected new steps to our processes, the construction continues unabated and the project is advancing well….the project has advanced considerably, with several homes reaching roof level and the resort main pool and its adjacent building advancing”-Mark Durliat, CEO and Principal of Rockhouse
“Rock House is perfectly positioned to complete and open in 2021to meet the growing demand from buyers seeking their own retreatswhere privacy, space, high quality of design and service are likely to be even more sought-after. A selection of elegantly designed cottages, each with their own private pool, will enjoy access to the superb amenity set of the newest boutique resort coming to Turks & Caicos.” Nina Siegenthaler, Vice President of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty
As you may be aware, Turks & Caicos has remained a safe haven throughout its closure period, since the end of March, with a minimal amount of COVID-19 cases to date, due to swift action taken by the Turks & Caicos Islands Government and Governor.
In April, Beach House 2 sold, with construction slated to commence imminently.
We have also seen construction re-commence on Beach Houses 2 and 3 which broke ground in December and are slated for completion by Q1 2021.

Beach Enclave is committed to securing the sale of the last remaining Beach House 1, and delivering a construction-free living experience to early Beach House buyers and resort guests, and as such is offering the below incentive until the end of June to create a time-sensitive opportunity to qualified buyers during this time:
$150,000 discount to the list price of $2,795,000 (3BR) and $2,995,000 (4BR)
$25,000 credit towards design options such as an outdoor summer kitchen or resort amenities
Coupled with the Turks & Caicos Islands Government’s reduction in Stamp Duty for land acquisitions completed prior to the end of June (from 10% to 5%) the incentive results in more than $200,000 in savings. The Club Residence is starting in 2021. The stamp duty savings will likely apply to a sale of any Club Residence through an Extended Payment Agreement.

The Bight by Dream Hotel Group Celebrates the Launch of its 66-Suite / 89-Key Condo-Hotel Project in Partnership with Celebrated Brand & Management Company Dream Hotel Group
On Tuesday 11th February, Grace Bay, Providenciales came to life with an inspired Block Party Event to celebrate the official launch of The Bight by Dream Hotel Group and their new partnership with NYC-based Dream Hotel Group, who will now serve as Manager and Operator for the 66-suite/89-hotel key project. The event took place between Sandbox and Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty’s office with music by renowned DJ Munro spilling over to the streets and a botanical jungle theme scape that flowed throughout both venues, intertwining the buildings to one another. If the refreshingly simple and stunningly creative ambience is anything to go by, this development is off to a progressive start.
Ryan Jones and Natalie Zaidan of the EA Group are best known for the hip local coffee spot, Lemon-to-go-café and their successful landscaping company Environmental Arts, but this powerhouse couple, who have called Turks & Caicos their home for close to two decades, are lesser known for the multiple hats they wear, which include construction, real estate development and sales, art production, rum and vodka distilling and their latest food and beverage venue Sandbox, which caters to the on trend phenomenon of health conscious consuming. No mini sliders here. EA Group is always one step ahead of the curve. Everything from the mood, to the canapes was refreshing. Guests dined on air fried vegetable samosas and mini chicken satay, to name a few, and quenched their thirst with coconut water housed in Turks & Caicos grown coconuts provided by local business owner, JJ Jennings of Coco Vibes. The signature “cocktail with a Bight” was a spicy margarita with a slight bite as the name suggests.
Between speeches guests posed amongst giant foam letters that playfully encircled the Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International office, spelling out “The Bight Hotel”. As the night progressed and guests, hoteliers, Government officials, and friends filled the space, Ryan Jones spoke to the crowd and announced his vision and dream of bringing an authentic, experience-based condo-hotel to the Turks and Caicos that focuses on lifestyle.
“So why do you want to build a hotel? Why do you want to be in this business? What is the origin story of this project? Natalie and I live in the Bight. This is our home, and we love the country. I loved it enough that I made my life here and had my kids here. We wanted to recreate the magical Turks and Caicos experience that people have when they come here for the first time and never leave. We want to share that with people. We were looking at the market and thought the five-star market is really well-served by a whole bunch of guys who have done an amazing job. The market that really needs to be addressed is the four-star boutique market with culture, design, art, experiences, and adventure. We wanted to align what we did with our life and that’s why we decided to build a hotel here. Then it was a matter of finding the right management partner. An established, creative and inspiring team to bring our vision to life.
“The Bight by Dream Hotel Group will cater to travelers and owners who share a passion for design, community, and food and beverage —all while celebrating the natural beauty and culture of the islands,” added Jeff Donnelly, Vice President of Development, Dream Hotel Group. “In our partnership with EA Group, we are committed to delivering a fresh and exciting experience to the Turks and Caicos Islands.”
Following a soft launch in April 2019, the last 10 months have seen 10 reservations. That’s an average of one reservation per month, a staggering number for an overseas jurisdiction and a new developer. Further confirmation that design- and lifestyle-driven EA Group have their finger on the pulse of the next real estate trend.
“The Bight by Dream Hotel Group is lean, and it’s designed for short term vacation rental. There’s no fat. What do you say?” Joe Zahm Presidentof Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty asked DeveloperRyan Jones, “Everything you need and nothing you don’t need. I look at it with the great end in mind. It is designed for the end user from the beginning with a real hotel lobby and bar, and a real vibe and lifestyle experience attached to it. And when you factor in the connectivity, elegance and simplicity of the design, at a wonderful price point, this will well serve the market, who really want to be part of the investment class, where your return on investment is just better per square foot. And when you add on just a great amenity set that’s going to be a part of the Bight, and you also add to that just amazingly smashing outlooks with the only elevated property and true beach access. It’s really a combination to die for.”
So what’s next for the EA Group you ask? More sweat and hard work. Starting with digging trenches in the Bight neighborhood to begin burying those old power lines and transforming the area to the beautiful vision Natalie and Ryan started dreaming about over seven years ago. Look out for more information on the underground power line initiative and the beautification of this local neighborhood.

We are pleased to announce ROCK HOUSE has broken ground and construction has commenced on the majestic 14-acre waterfront site with the official Groundbreaking Event taking place last weekend. Government officials and the community showed up to support Grace Bay Resorts and watched as CEO & Developer Mark Durliat gave a heartfelt speech to his faithful hospitality team, many of whom have worked with Grace Bay Resorts for decades. ROCK HOUSE is the latest development from acclaimed Grace Bay Resorts. Unlike any resort seen before in the Turks & Caicos, this unique development and residential vision is located on the north coast of Providenciales, with 600 feet of frontage and peaks soaring 95 feet above sea level. Taking inspiration from the allure and sophistication of European hotels along the Mediterranean coast, South of France and remote isle of Capri, ROCK HOUSE has committed the same detailed attention to its method of construction, as it has to the design phase of its refined resort experience. Ensuring native trees, shrubs, orchids and succulents will be incorporated into the completed resort by preserving indigenous vegetation that has occupied the lush and varied landscape for hundreds of years. “Reusing these natural materials and landscape from this historic site remains true to the Rock House spirit. We seek to ensure a very low environmental impact, with deep sustainability and a sense that this special resort property has been here for years.” – Mark Durliat, CEO & Developer, Grace Bay Resorts.
Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty and Beach Enclave Grace Bay are happy to announce that the first villa is now complete! Beachfront Villa 2, a two-story, five-bedroom luxury villa is ready for the owners to enjoy. With only one beachfront villa remaining for sale this villa development is well on its way to full completion.
Rock House construction to begin! As you are aware, Rock House enjoys dramatic, rugged topography and lush native vegetation that dates back hundreds of years. As we prepare for construction, particular attention is being placed on saving many of our important trees, native shrubs, succulents and other vegetation, with a goal of incorporating this back into the completed resort.
The Bight Hotel and resort property aims to, authentically and efficiently, bring more of what is loved about the Turks & Caicos Islands…while leaving behind the price tags, maintenance and unused space.
The Bight Hotel, with 66 units / 89 keys, centering around the highly adaptable King Suite Studio, fulfills a long-standing gap in the Turks & Caicos real estate market for a desirable yet affordable four-star resort property. Add in elevated ocean views from its 7 acre property (just southwest of Wymara) and simple beach access to 1,000 feet of pristine beach and you’re on to a winner. EA Group, a well-known and established TCI group of hospitality and property-focused companies, are the force behind the conception of this desirable product. Ryan Jones, Director of EA Group stated, “We designed The Bight Hotel to be authentic, experiential, and hip with the primary objective that it be a great investment opportunity. We wanted to eliminate excess, like enormous wrap around porches, indoor dining rooms and massive kitchens, that owners rarely use, and prioritize more of the things modern buyers and vacationers want, like fitness facilities, farm-to-table food and gardens, stunning views, access to tons of Grace Bay Beach, and authentic island experiences. We recognize owners are going to use the property three or four weeks of the year so to make sense it principally has to be a fantastic investment.” The resort’s refreshing simplicity centers around the brilliantly designed King Studio. ” The studio design has wonderful optionality with something for everyone.” remarks Joe Zahm, President/Broker of Turks & Caicos Sotheby’s International Realty, “You could have a queen bed with a bunk bed in the space, or two twin beds to accommodate your teenagers, or you may want to connect the studio unit to another to create a double unit, or a three bed penthouse…the emphasis is on ease of use, rentability, and optimal sleeping capacity. There is currently nothing on market like it – plus it’s just cool!” EA Group chose Simon Woods Architects to design the highly amenitized resort and innovative floor plans, which include custom designed interiors and furniture such as signature daybeds and bonket seating bedded into seamless floor to ceiling glass walls.
Each and every unit provides smashing views of Provo’s north shore towards Northwest Point, with the first level raised approximately 50 feet to take advantage of endless ocean views over the preserved botanical and meditative garden of the Bight National Park. The Bight Hotel will offer an on site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, swimming pool, bar, cross fit gym, spa, kid’s club, farm, rum distillery, coffee shop and barn to host special events and weekly movie nights.
Introductory
pricing ranges from $377,000 to $1.7M providing a welcome option for
investors, couples, and families seeking an attractive price point,
access to the Turks & Caicos market, or simply a more authentic and
experiential property
