Raffles Hotels & Resorts which recently announced that its second property in the Caribbean will open in 2010 -the 100-room Raffles Tortola in the British Virgin Islands- also will debut the Raffles St. Lucia on the northern end of the island at the same time.

The 360-acre development will include a 200-room resort; 275 high-end luxury villas, casitas and condominiums; and 75 estate lots, including 35 Jack Nicklaus Golf Club estate lots. Facilities will include dining options, five pools and the Raffles/Amritra Spa, as well as a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course.

“Branding of this resort with world-class partners is an indication of the confidence we have for this resort and St. Lucia,” said Dennis Nardoni, CEO of Point Hardy Development Co.
