Studio Piet Boon and OBMI to head up design for Rosewood retreat in Antigua
Dutch architects Studio Piet Boon and Florida-based firm OBMI have been selected to design the Half Moon Bay, a Rosewood hotel and residential community on the Caribbean island of Antigua.
Set to occupy 132 acres of uninhabited land, the new beachfront getaway will feature 47 suites and several Rosewood-branded villas, as well as 10 purchasable luxury estate lots – all of which will be anchored around a 'retail village'.
Further amenities will include tennis courts, pools, spas, and a biodynamic farm.
Speaking on the project, Piet Boon, founder of the same-named studio called it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create something enduring".
William Anderson, CEO of Half Moon, claimed the hotel would be "the first resort of its calibre in decades".
The new destination – set to debut in 2021 – is one of 17 Rosewood properties currently under development.
