Grace Bay Resorts to Manage The Veranda Resort and Residences

Grace Bay Resorts will manage The Veranda Resort and Residences when it opens Thanksgiving 2009.

Grace Bay Resorts, the company behind the four-diamond-rated Grace Bay Club, has created a new property management division entitled “The Collection.” Properties such as The Veranda will be managed under this division by Grace Bay Resorts, but will retain their proprietary identities.

“The Veranda is a unique property that has enormous potential and we are honored to be selected as the operator for this resort,” said Mark Durliat, chief executive officer of Grace Bay Resorts.

The 10-acre resort on Providenciales boasts more than 700 feet of ocean frontage along world-renowned Grace Bay. Along this stretch of frontage are the island’s only private beachfront homes, each enjoying their own private pool. The resort also features 126 beautifully appointed residential units available in studio, one, two and three bedrooms.

Some of the premier amenities found throughout the property include:
– Two oceanfront restaurants offering elegant and casual dining experiences
– An outdoor lounge and contemporary bar
– An Asian-inspired wellness center, spa and fitness facility secluded in a lush Zen garden
– A dedicated conference center of approximately 1,700 square feet
– Dedicated kids club
– Concierge, lobby, library and business center
– Tennis court

The Veranda and Grace Bay Resorts partnership signals a commitment to positioning the resort as a premier destination, as well as contributing to the Turks and Caicos growing position in the global luxury market.

About Grace Bay Resorts
Mark Durliat & Nikheel Advani, the celebrated hoteliers behind the renowned Grace Bay Club in Turks and Caicos, partnered with Denver-based SV Capital to form Grace Bay Resorts in early 2008. Their goal is that, within the next few years, Grace Bay Resorts will expand its award-winning brand to 10 other Caribbean and Latin American destinations through its new division, The Collection.
