Club Med will expand its Caribbean footprint with a new 150-room resort in St. Croix, following the acquisition and redevelopment of the historic Carambola Beach Resort, slated to reopen in 2027.

The St. Kitts Tourism Authority has launched its 2026 SKY Program, offering travel advisors exclusive hotel rates, site inspections, island experiences and destination training incentives.

 As part of Marriott International’s growing all‑inclusive portfolio, the resort promises “a spirited take on beachfront living.”

By launching new travel advisor incentives, the property is looking to take advantage of increased airlift from Canada.

Tourism officials insist the country remains “firmly open for global tourism,” with attractions, hospitality infrastructure, and logistics “fully operational.”

The Spanish hotelier joins a growing list of hospitality companies with a long-standing presence in Cuba that are withdrawing or curtailing their presence on the island. 

Royalton International has reportedly withdrawn from Cuba, ending management of 11,000 hotel rooms amid operational challenges, U.S. sanctions pressure, and declining tourism demand.

Club Med reported strong 2025 performance with 1.4 million travellers, higher occupancy and rates — and big expansion plans.

Marriott will continue its expansion into the Mexico all-inclusive market with this new property.

Open for over six months, the luxurious, adults-only W Punta Cana has everything travellers could want. Yet Canadians still haven’t shown up in significant numbers.
