NEW GARY PLAYER GOLF RESORT IN CARIBBEAN
Published Jul 30, 2009
The Marquis Estate - St Lucia
We are offering an exclusive opportunity to purchase in a unique resort in the Island of St. Lucia.
The Marquis Estate is situated amongst some of the Caribbean’s most attractive landscape on the stunning northeast coast of St Lucia and occupies a breathtaking 500 acre site in a wide lush, tropical valley that sweeps majestically down to one of the most beautiful beaches in St Lucia, the Marquis Bay, where with pristine white sands meet clear, turquoise waters that are perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling.
Originally the site of an 18th century sugar mill and more recently a banana plantation, the estate is resplendent with native fruit trees including mango, papaya, coconut, avocado, breadfruit, star fruit, plum and coffee. Tall flame flowers, orchids, jasmine, bougainvillea, oleander and hibiscus explode with colour and the bright red flamboyant tree attracts tiny iridescent humming birds.
An estate of this individuality requires considerable care to leave this piece of land better than it is. The developer plans to do this by ensuring the indigenous population’s involvement and the protection of the wildlife and existing ecosystems to create a new legacy.
We have already released hotel suites and apartments for early investment at off plan prices of more than 50% below market value.
Resort overview:
- Set in truly magnificent grounds of a former banana and sugar plantation.
- 18 hole Gary Player signature Golf Course with 9 holes being floodlit for evening practice.
- Las Vegas style Casino.
- Equestrian Centre with Polo field and horse riding tracks.
- 500 acres with low density build.

The resort will be split into two parts, we intend the main resort to be run by a leading hotel operator and aim to create a fantastic five star hotel resort. The second part of the hotel is intended to have a more boutique feel and will comprise the Gary Player Hotel. When the hotel is complete it is intended that The West Paces Hotel group will operate this part of the resort. The West Paces Hotel Group state that they are “a 6 star hotel management company that believe in the passionate pursuit of excellence and financial success with uncompromising honour and integrity”. The Group will manage the Gary Player Golf Hotel and residences, including the Golf Clubhouse, beach club and spa. The Group is led by legendary hotelier Horst Schulze, formerly president of Ritz-Carlton, who founded West Paces in 2002. The Group manages select independent properties and also operates Capella Hotels and Solis Resorts.
Gary Player is the most successful golfer of all time, he has played in the masters cup for the last 53 years running. His experience and expertise in designing golf courses is unparalleled. For the first time anywhere in the world a golfer has put his name to and included a branded hotel.
