The highly-anticipated Park Hyatt St. Kitts is planning to open in March 2017.

The hotel said it is now taking reservations for stays beginning March 1, when it will debut as the first-ever Park Hyatt property in the Caribbean region.

The new luxury resort will be located in the Christophe Harbour development on St. Kitts’ southeastern peninsula.

Set on secluded Banana Bay, the property will have 126 rooms, of which 48 will be suites.

Rooms will have rain showers, soaking tubs, walk-in wardrobes and outdoor daybeds; many of the suites will offer individual rooftop pools.

On the culinary side, there will be three restaurants: small-plate eatery The Stone Barn; The Fisherman’s Village and the Great House, along with a rum bar, a chef’s table and afternoon tea.
