Antigua’s northern tip has always been known for its stunning beauty, but the reopening of the Hodges Bay Resort & Spa elevates the region to new heights. Announced today as the flagship property of HQ Hotels & Residences, a luxury hospitality venture led by Sam Nazarian in partnership with Marc Anthony and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Hodges Bay embodies over 13 years of meticulous craftsmanship. This premier resort offers more than just luxurious accommodations; it promises an unparalleled lifestyle experience, blending world-class dining, relaxation, and adventure.
Set on eight acres of lush tropical gardens and white sandy beaches, Hodges Bay includes 79 meticulously designed accommodations, from spacious suites and private rooftop penthouses with private infinity pools to opulent oceanfront villas and bespoke residences. The resort’s clean, bohemian aesthetic complements the breathtaking natural surroundings, creating an inviting atmosphere that’s sophisticated yet relaxed.
As part of its relaunch, Antiguas iconic resort will feature exclusive dining experiences debuting globally, such as Katsuya Beach by Chef Katsuya Uechi and Hecho Libre by Chef Wes Avila. The property also revives the iconic XIV Beach Club, a luxurious day-and-night entertainment destination on the private islet of Prickly Pear Island.
Jeff Wellemeyer, Chairman of Hodges Bay Resort and Spa, emphasized the resort’s transformational impact:
“Antigua is on the verge of becoming a premier destination in the Caribbean, and Hodges Bay is leading the charge. By combining sbe’s operational excellence, world-class culinary concepts, and unparalleled service, we’re establishing Hodges Bay as a cornerstone of luxury travel in the region.”
This vision is shared by Sam Nazarian, who sees the resort as a global beacon:
“Hodges Bay will attract a new generation of aspirational travelers, offering unforgettable vacation experiences, vibrant social hubs, and the best in dining and entertainment.”
More Than a Resort: A Pathway to Global Freedom Through Citizenship by Investment
What sets Hodges Bay apart isn’t just its unmatched luxury—it’s also a gateway to opportunity through Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program. This unique offering allows qualifying investors to secure citizenship while gaining access to the unparalleled lifestyle that Hodges Bay provides.
Apex Capital Partners, the exclusive licensed agent for Hodges Bay Resort & Spa within the CBI program, offers investors a streamlined path to citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda. By making an initial investment of $300,000, individuals secure a fractional share in the resort—a stake rooted in the tangible value of this remarkable property. This share not only entitles the investor to citizenship but also offers a luxurious seven-night stay at the resort.
“This is more than just an investment—it’s an entry into a world of freedom and indulgence,” said a representative from Apex Capital Partners. “Hodges Bay is the perfect fusion of lifestyle and opportunity, offering a secure and prosperous future alongside a bespoke luxury experience.”
The Details: Luxury Meets Investment
The fractional ownership model is designed to balance tangible returns with exceptional perks. Investors don’t just acquire property—they gain access to one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated destinations while also securing their family’s future with the benefits of global citizenship.
Citizenship in Antigua and Barbuda offers an opportunity to expand one’s horizons, build security, and ensure a legacy for future generations.
Additionally, the investment into Hodges Bay ensures that individuals enjoy personal indulgence, including seven nights of luxury accommodations annually at the resort. This isn’t merely a financial transaction—it’s an invitation to experience one of the Caribbean’s most exquisite destinations, supported by Apex Capital Partners’ expertise in guiding investors through every step of the CBI process.

“Hodges Bay embodies the best of Antigua—its beauty, culture, and opportunity,” explained Nuri Kats, President and Founder of Apex Capital Partners. “As the exclusive agent, we’re proud to connect investors with this incredible property and with citizenship that opens doors to a world of possibilities.”
