Kempinski plans Caribbean debut in Dominica

Kempinski Hotels will make its debut in the Caribbean with the 101-room Cabrits Resort Kempinski Dominica on the north shore of the island, near the town of Portsmouth.

The resort will be surrounded by Cabrits National Park.

The luxury resort is the first government-approved real estate project under the Citizenship By Investment Program, whereby investors can obtain citizenship in Dominica by purchasing a share in the development for $200,000 in a limited partnership structure.

Range Developments, the developer, focuses on luxury projects and is currently at work on the Park Hyatt St. Kitts, slated to open in December 2015.

There is no time line for the Dominica project.
