Equinox expands into the Caribbean with marina development Equinox Resort Anguilla Port Nimara
Equinox Hotels, which has a focus on fitness, health and wellness, has announced it will operate a marina lifestyle destination called Equinox Resort Anguilla Port Nimara, the first Caribbean site for the brand.
Located at the south west end of the island in a privately-owned location, the Port Nimara Resort has beachfront views and a 118-berth marina for vessels measuring up tp 240 feet.
The marina has a functioning customs and immigration service, allowing resort guests arriving by boat to experience seamless access.
The project is being designed by architects Perkins and Will. The port is expected to receive its first vessels in 2027 and the Equinox Resort is scheduled to open in 2029.
The resort amenities will feature The Spa by Equinox Hotels, an Equinox health club, an all-day dining venue for healthy food, luxury shopping and access to a lively promenade for further upscale restaurants and access to the beach.
There will be 62 guestrooms and a range of branded residences options, including 18 oceanfront villas, 18 upland villas and 35 Equinox residences.
The property is being developed by South West Harbour Inc, a joint venture of SF Investments Ltd, Time Equities Inc and Antillean Developments Inc.
SF Investments is the investment division of the SF Group, which is the diversified umbrella company that grew out of the marina design and manufacturing firm SF Marina Project Developments.
“Equinox Hotels perfectly aligns with our vision of Port Nimara, Anguilla, in creating unparalleled luxury marine lifestyle destinations,” said David Mizrahi, CEO and managing partner of South West Harbour and SF Investments. "Their focus on high-performance living and exceptional health-driven experiences complements the unique vibrancy of our Resort.
“With Equinox Resort Anguilla Port Nimara, we are elevating the residential offering, providing future owners with a lifestyle that blends performance, luxury, and community in a breath-taking Caribbean setting,” added Mizrahi.
The sales of residences will be managed by Christie’s International, which believe the marina will attract international buyers from the US, Canada and the UK.
RCP Finance, a global debt and equity advisory firm negotiated the structure of the partnership.
Equinox Hotels' growth strategy
Equinox Hotels’ strategy for growth is to bring high-performance living and experiential luxury to sought-after destinations around the world.
The aim is for each resort to integrate innovative health solutions, dynamic community programming and transformative environments to support active lifestyles and set a new standard in luxury performance hospitality.
This Anguilla site is the second Equinox-branded marina resort concept. The first is the Equinox Resort Amaala at Saudi Arabia’s upcoming Red Sea luxury wellness giga-project. Real estate developer Red Sea Global will hand over the new resort complex to Equinox – alongside five other resorts to other operators – next quarter.
