HQ Hotels & Residences by sbe, founded by hospitality leader Sam Nazarian and music icon Marc Anthony, will open a new property in Saint Lucia. Scheduled for November 2026, HQ Cas En Bas Resort and Residences by sbe will debut as part of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ Registry Collection.
The project is developed in partnership with UK-based Wellington Estates. It marks the second HQ Residences project announced, following HQ Miami Edgewater Residences. The brand recently expanded its footprint with the opening of Monarch New Orleans in the U.S. and Hodges Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua.
Elevated Luxury in Saint Lucia
The $130 million development will add 178 keys to Saint Lucia's luxury inventory and is expected to create up to 300 permanent jobs. The initial phase includes 96 freehold studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments surrounding a long central swimming pool. Over 90% of these units are already sold to international and local buyers.
Preliminary planning approval has been granted for an additional 82 residences on an adjacent plot. This second phase will introduce a spa, wellness center, gym, and an elevated pool. Residences feature high ceilings, private balconies, and fully equipped kitchens.
Food & Beverage
The property will feature several distinct culinary and entertainment venues, including:
Katsuya Beach
Umami Burger
An Italian dining concept by Michelin-starred Chef Fabio Trabocchi
The Rum Shack and Cameron Jacks Lounge and Bar
Eclectic Beach and Night Sands entertainment venues
Prime Island Proximity
Situated within the Cap Estate on the northern tip of the island, the resort is located near the St. Lucia Golf & Country Club, Cas En Bas Bay, and the Cabot golf estate. The property is less than a 10-minute drive from the Rodney Bay tourism hub, which offers a marina, waterfront dining, and water sports.
St Lucia Charms Loyal Wyndham Rewards Members
As part of the Registry Collection, HQ Cas En Bas will integrate into the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts network. This partnership allows the property to market directly to the 124 million enrolled Wyndham Rewards members globally. Homeowners at the property will also receive elite Wyndham Rewards status.
New Standard of Resort Living
Homeowners will have access to on-site management, housekeeping, a dedicated concierge, and 24/7 security within a gated estate. Property owners receive a Residents’ Card for internal and external perks, alongside pre-arrival provisioning and an optional managed rental program.
