Grenada National Resort: Wyndham Grand to Operate Flagship Hotel as Construction Tracks Towards 2027

Grenada’s largest Citizenship by Investment development is entering its most visible phase yet, and its most significant branding milestone. The developer has confirmed agreed terms with Wyndham Grand to operate the resort’s flagship hotel, bringing international hospitality management and Wyndham’s global distribution network to the Grenada National Resort (GNR) for the first time. The announcement lands alongside steady construction progress. The hotel tower is rising floor by floor, the island’s first championship golf course is taking shape across the Levera coastline, and the resort remains on track for its targeted 2027 handover. The developer has also raised the stakes further, announcing 1,000 new villas to be built around the Robert Trent Jones II golf course.

For investors weighing a second citizenship through real estate, this combination is exactly what’s worth paying attention to: an internationally recognised hotel brand now attached to the project, visible construction progress, a widening range of investment options, and a firm delivery horizon. Here’s where things stand.

Hotel Construction: Rising Toward the Skyline

Hotel Tower 1, the centerpiece of the resort’s planned 500 ocean-view suites, has been advancing through its upper floors, with recent progress bringing the structure into its mid-teens in floor count and moving toward an imminent structural top-out. The hotel lobby’s main structure is now complete, marking a key step in shaping the resort’s central guest arrival experience.

Alongside the tower, construction is progressing on the resort’s casino complex, with framing work now underway at ground level. The project’s on-site production facility, which supplies concrete blocks and precast drainage infrastructure, has remained in continuous operation to keep pace with the build.

Construction milestones have also been subject to government oversight, with a multi-agency inspection carried out by Grenada’s Investment Migration Agency (IMA), alongside the Physical Development Authority (PDA) and the Grenada Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC). This is a level of scrutiny that matters for investors who want assurance the project is being delivered under active regulatory review, not just developer promises.

Wyndham Grand to Operate the Flagship Hotel

In a major step for the project’s long-term positioning, Grenada National Resort has agreed terms with Wyndham Grand, the upscale, full-service flagship brand of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, one of the largest hotel companies in the world, to operate the resort’s hotel once complete.

The agreement means the resort’s 500 ocean-view suites will be run under recognised international hospitality standards, with access to Wyndham’s global reservations system and Wyndham Rewards loyalty programme, one of the largest hotel loyalty networks worldwide. For investors, an operating agreement of this kind typically supports stronger occupancy and a more predictable guest pipeline than an independently run resort would achieve on its own, since the property benefits from an established brand’s marketing reach and operational oversight from day one.

The Wyndham Grand partnership was affirmed at the resort’s recent topping-out ceremony, attended by Grenada’s Prime Minister, senior officials from the Investment Migration Agency, the project’s developers, and international investment partners. It was a visible signal of both government and brand-level confidence in the project’s delivery.

The Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course: Grenada’s First Championship Layout

Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, one of the most respected names in golf course architecture worldwide, the resort’s 18-hole course is Grenada’s first championship-standard layout, and construction is well underway. Recent work has focused on earthwork balancing and rough shaping across multiple fairways, supported by stone retaining wall construction along the course’s more dramatic elevation changes.

The routing takes advantage of Levera’s natural terrain, including jungle ridgelines, valley bowls, and seaside bluffs, with the course designed to showcase sweeping Caribbean Sea views from nearly every hole, including a stretch of beachfront holes to close the round. It’s a rare pairing for the Caribbean: a resort-scale hospitality development anchored by a genuinely world-class golf product.

1,000 New Villas Announced Around the Golf Course

In a significant expansion of the resort’s footprint, the developer has announced plans for 1,000 new villas to be built around the Robert Trent Jones golf course, a major addition to the resort’s existing hotel, apartment, and villa offering. Positioned along the fairways and framed by the same coastal and jungle landscape that defines the golf course itself, the new villas open up a substantially wider range of entry points for investors interested in the resort beyond the hotel share structure.

For prospective investors, this expansion signals two things: continued long-term confidence from the developer in the Grenada National Resort masterplan, and a broader set of investment options for those looking to combine a Caribbean property investment with a qualifying route to Grenadian citizenship.

Why This Matters for Citizenship by Investment

Grenada National Resort was approved as a Citizenship by Investment project by the Government of Grenada, giving qualifying investors, and their families, a route to a Grenadian passport in as little as 4 to 6 months. Grenada’s CBI Programme remains one of the most established and internationally recognised in the Caribbean, offering:

• Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to well over 140 countries and territories, including the UK, the Schengen Area, and China
• No requirement to visit or reside in Grenada before, during, or after the application process
• Multi-generational coverage, allowing spouses, children, and in some cases parents and grandparents to be included on a single application
• Access to the US E-2 Investor Visa treaty, unique among Caribbean CBI countries
• A tax-neutral environment, with no personal income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax in Grenada

As the resort’s construction accelerates toward its 2027 handover, and with a wider range of investment options now available through the villa expansion, the window to secure a position in one of the Caribbean’s most closely watched CBI developments remains open. Allocations at any given price point are limited as the project moves closer to completion.
