ST JOHN'S, Antigua and Barbuda, June 1, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- The $200 million Long Bay Zen Resort — a 113-key luxury property on Antigua's eastern coastline — officially launched Thursday. Demolition begins immediately, and major construction is set for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez called it a new direction for Antigua's tourism, adding that the project is "tangible proof" of how strategic investment can drive economic activity and create jobs.

Developer Sophie Zhong said the resort answers Prime Minister Browne's "Smart Island" vision. Features include green energy, a desalination plant, AI butler service, automated vehicles, and an on-the-water chapel.

Building green, the developer chose CCECC as the construction partner for its proven expertise in low-carbon building, ecological protection, and international green construction standards — bringing mature Low Impact Development (LID) experience to the project.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne highlighted that the resort's room rates could reach $5,000 per night — a figure that places Antigua firmly among the world's premium luxury destinations. He also described Long Bay Zen Resort as "the prototype" for the next generation of quiet luxury properties in Antigua.

The resort is part of Antigua and Barbuda's Tourism Vision 2030.
