A new chapter of luxury Caribbean hospitality is underway, as iconic global hotelier Daniel Shamoon has announced a transformative joint venture with Dutch entrepreneur Albert Hartog, founder of development firm Orange Limited, to build an exclusive boutique resort within Antigua’s coveted Pearns Point residential development.
Shamoon, a veteran industry leader who co-owns Luxury Hotel Partners and Small Luxury Hotels of the World, has built a decades-long reputation for designing some of the most celebrated high-end hospitality destinations across Europe, the Caribbean, North America and Africa. For Hartog, the partnership marks a key milestone in the years-long development of Pearns Point, a low-density residential community he has overseen from its inception on Antigua’s stunning western peninsula.
Nestled between lush, rolling hillsides and powdery white-sand Caribbean shorelines, the new low-density resort will blend seamlessly into the existing 160-acre peninsula development, offering unobstructed panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Planned development includes 20 single-story resort suites, 20 two-bedroom resort villas, and 36 privately sold three- and four-bedroom villas nestled into the island’s natural landscape. These private residences are priced between $3 million and $6 million USD, catering to discerning international buyers seeking a luxury Caribbean retreat.
Both resort guests and Pearns Point residents will gain access to a curated collection of world-class amenities, including a boat-accessible beach club, a signature farm-to-table restaurant supplied by an on-site organic farm, and one of the Caribbean’s most comprehensive sports and wellness hubs. The wellness offering includes a cutting-edge racquet club, an ocean-view spa and fitness center, and a dedicated watersports facility. The development’s design also preserves free public access to the area’s beaches while protecting the privacy of residents and guests.
Beyond the new resort, Pearns Point’s current real estate portfolio includes a limited selection of beachfront, oceanfront, and elevated homesites starting at $2 million USD, allowing buyers to partner with award-winning architects and builders to design fully custom private residences. Turnkey ready-to-move-in residences, constructed with locally sourced stone, timber and other natural materials, start at $4 million USD, while completed custom homes are listed from $20 million USD. Early buyer demand has already outpaced expectations, with 26 lots sold to date for a total of $50 million USD in sales.
Shamoon and Orange Limited also have plans to construct two custom signature residences designed by renowned firm James Hamilton Architects, embodying the development’s core design principles: high-quality architecture, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and intentional connection to the surrounding natural landscape. The partnership’s shared mission prioritizes preserving Antigua’s unspoiled natural beauty while setting a new global benchmark for luxury Caribbean living.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Albert Hartog to create a resort that feels deeply connected to Antigua’s rich island culture, extraordinary beauty and vibrant spirit,” Shamoon said of the venture. “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.”
Hartog echoed this sentiment, noting that the new hospitality component elevates the original vision for Pearns Point as one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive low-density residential communities. “The partnership with Daniel Shamoon represents an important next step in that vision,” he explained. “It introduces a hospitality component that we believe will enhance the experience of existing owners and further strengthen the appeal of Pearns Point to discerning international purchasers.”
With over 30 years of industry experience, Shamoon’s portfolio is defined by understated, timeless luxury, personalized exceptional service, and intentional design that honors each destination’s unique character. His approach integrates meticulous planning, authentic local lifestyle experiences, and long-term environmental stewardship to create destinations with enduring global appeal. Notable existing projects include Antigua’s Hermitage Bay, Spain’s Marbella Club and Puente Romano Marbella, and the highly anticipated 2027 opening of The Beach Club Barbuda, developed in partnership with Robert De Niro.
Located just outside the lively coastal community of Jolly Harbour, Pearns Point offers convenient access to all of Antigua’s most beloved attractions. Widely known as the “Jewel of the Caribbean,” Antigua draws visitors and residents from across the globe with its 365 pristine beaches, world-class water sports, vibrant culinary scene, and famously warm hospitality. The island’s west coast is particularly sought-after for its calm turquoise waters, golden sunsets, and dramatic coastal landscapes. Pearns Point is also just 35 minutes from Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport, which offers nonstop service from major global hubs including New York, Miami, and London.
