Beaches Is Planning $1 Billion on New All-Inclusive Caribbean Resorts, From Turks and Caicos to The Bahamas and Jamaica

Beaches Resorts is accelerating its growth across the Caribbean with a sweeping $1 billion expansion strategy, adding new resorts, expanding existing properties, and opening new destinations for family travel.

The move comes as demand for family-friendly all-inclusive resorts continues to surge, with Beaches positioning itself to add capacity in some of the region’s most in-demand destinations.

A New Village in Turks and Caicos

The most immediate addition is the debut of Treasure Beach Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos, one of the brand’s flagship resorts.

The new 101-room village expands room inventory and introduces new accommodations, dining options, and shared spaces within the broader resort complex, which already ranks among the largest and most popular all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean.

It also reinforces Turks and Caicos as a cornerstone destination for Beaches, particularly for travelers seeking wide stretches of white sand and calm, shallow water.

New Resorts Coming to Barbados and The Bahamas

Beaches is also moving into new territory with planned resorts in Barbados and Exuma in The Bahamas.

The Barbados project marks a strategic expansion into one of the Caribbean’s most established tourism markets, while the Exuma development brings the brand to a destination known for its clear water, smaller-scale footprint, and growing luxury demand.

Both projects represent a shift toward new island diversification, giving you more options beyond the brand’s existing strongholds.

Saint Vincent Expansion Builds on Momentum

In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Beaches is planning an expansion that builds on recent tourism growth in the destination.

The island has seen increased interest following new airlift and resort development, and Beaches’ presence will add further capacity in the family segment. It will join sister brand Sandas’ new Sandals St Vincent and the Grenadines resort, which almost single-handedly transformed travel demand on the island in what we’ve called “The Sandals Effect” — with Americans flocking in unprecedented numbers.

A New Resort on Jamaica’s North Coast

Jamaica remains central to the Beaches portfolio, with a new Beaches Runaway Bay project planned for the island’s north coast.

The development adds to Beaches’ existing Jamaica footprint and targets one of the country’s most accessible and established resort corridors.

Runaway Bay offers proximity to Montego Bay while maintaining a more relaxed, less congested feel than some of the island’s busiest resort areas.

Why This Expansion Matters

The scale of the investment signals a continued shift in Caribbean travel demand toward all-inclusive, family-focused resorts with built-in amenities and simplified planning.

For Beaches, the expansion is about both adding inventory and entering new destinations, giving travelers more ways to experience the Caribbean within a single brand ecosystem.

It means more options in destinations that have traditionally had limited large-scale family resort offerings.

For the Caribbean, it adds new hotel capacity at a time when demand for Caribbean travel remains strong across multiple segments — as our editor in chief noted last week — including record-breaking hotel occupancy last month.

What It Means for Travelers

As these projects come online, travelers will see a broader mix of Beaches experiences across the Caribbean — from the established footprint in Turks and Caicos and Jamaica to newer entries in Barbados, Exuma, and Saint Vincent.

The expansion also reinforces a key trend: the continued growth of family all-inclusive travel as one of the most resilient and fastest-growing segments in the Caribbean.

Beaches is positioning itself squarely in that space, with a pipeline that stretches across some of the region’s most sought-after islands.
