Rosewood Barbuda
Rosewood-branded residences on 85 acres of Barbuda's untouched coast — opening 2028, CBI-eligible via Antigua & Barbuda.
Rosewood is bringing its first resort to Barbuda: an 85-acre site with more than 2,950 feet of beachfront, developed with Murbee Resorts, comprising 50 suites and 35 Rosewood Residences, targeted to open in 2028. On an island that has deliberately stayed undeveloped, a Rosewood flag is a significant marker. This is an independent read.
What you'd be buying
Thirty-five branded residences alongside a 50-suite resort, on a site with nearly 3,000 feet of beach. Planned amenities include the brand's Asaya wellness concept with six treatment rooms, a fitness centre, two pools and three dining outlets including a farm-to-table restaurant, built to high sustainability standards and running largely on renewable energy. This is pre-completion product — the resort is targeted to open in 2028, so you are buying ahead of delivery. Pricing is not published; ask Dan.
Citizenship by investment
Barbuda is part of Antigua & Barbuda, so a qualifying purchase can intersect the country's citizenship program (approved real estate from US$300,000, five-year hold). Confirm the specific residence's approved status in writing before relying on it.
Honest cautions
- Pre-completion product targeted to open in 2028 -- confirm build status, delivery date and deposit protection
- Barbuda is genuinely remote; check flight, ferry and services logistics against how you'd actually use it
- Model rental conservatively -- a new resort has no operating history on the island
- Confirm CBI-approved status for the specific unit
How it compares
This is the branded, wellness-led Barbuda option -- set it against the Discovery Land community at Barbuda Ocean Club and the trophy Barbuda Beachfront Residences. The Antigua & Barbuda market guide sets the wider context.
