Daniel Shamoon, co-owner of Luxury Hotel Partners and Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is teaming up with Dutch developer Albert Hartog on a new resort in Antigua. The project will be located inside Pearns Point, a 160-acre residential development on the island’s western peninsula that Hartog has been building through his company, Orange Limited. Shamoon has spent more than three decades working in hospitality, and this marks his entry into the Pearns Point project.
The resort will be built alongside the existing homes and homesites at Pearns Point, rather than as a separate property. Plans call for 20 single-story suites and 20 two-bedroom villas, plus 36 additional villas that will be sold to buyers. Those villas range from three to four bedrooms and are priced between $3 million and $6 million. The site overlooks the Caribbean Sea and includes white-sand beaches and hillside terrain.
What’s Planned for Guests and Owners
Both resort guests and Pearns Point property owners will have access to the same amenities. Those include:
- A beach club reachable by boat
- A restaurant supplied by an organic farm
- A racquet club
- An ocean-view spa and fitness center
- A dedicated watersports facility
The development team says the design will also account for public beach access in the area, while keeping separate space for residents and guests. Orange Limited and Shamoon are additionally planning two private residences designed by James Hamilton Architects, which will be built as part of the broader Pearns Point project.
Shamoon described the partnership as an effort to connect the resort to Antigua’s culture and coastline. “Our vision is to create a thoughtful destination that complements the existing Pearns Point community through timeless design, genuine hospitality, and an authentic sense of place,” he said. Hartog said the hospitality component is meant to build on what Pearns Point already offers to homeowners there.
Sales and Market Context
Pearns Point has already sold 26 lots for a combined $50 million. Homesites at the development start at $2 million, and buyers can work with architects and builders to design custom homes. Turnkey residences start at $4 million, while fully finished homes start at $20 million. The new resort villas, at $3 million to $6 million, fall within that same general price range.
Pearns Point sits near Jolly Harbour, a busy area on Antigua’s west coast, and is about 35 minutes from V.C. Bird International Airport. The airport has direct flights from New York, Miami, and London, among other cities. Antigua’s real estate market has drawn increased interest in recent years, with local officials pointing to tax incentives and rising property values as factors.
No construction timeline or opening date was included in the announcement. It is also unclear how the resort’s operations will be structured alongside the residential side of Pearns Point, or which brand, if any, will run the property day to day.
