The Christophe Harbour Foundation is pleased to support a new vervet monkey research initiative led by biological anthropologist and primatologist Dr. Kerry M. Dore. Dore, now an instructor in the School of Science at Marist College and member of the Center for Conservation Medicine and Ecosystem Health at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, has extensive experience studying primates and has been researching vervet monkeys in St. Kitts since 2010. This summer, Dore brings her studies to the Southeast Peninsula.

It's an exciting time at Christophe Harbour as we are excitedly watching the superyacht marina taking shape along with the much-anticipated Park Hyatt St. Kitts hotel at Banana Bay. This hotel will be the first Park Hyatt in the Caribbean region. 

Construction of the hotel is underway with visible progress on the quintessentially Caribbean beachfront site. Work is underway on 11 of the 26 buildings, including the reception and meeting facilities, that will comprise Park Hyatt St. Kitts. Vertical structures are rising and the structure of the first building will be completed by mid-August.

In early June, Christophe Harbour’s newest amenity, SALT Plage, opened on the shore of Whitehouse Bay. Designed by Christophe Harbour’s Director of Architecture, John Denton Haley, and built by RAZO construction, the entire development of the beach bar took less than 9 months from conception to grand opening.

They'll be starting the north fingers of the pier next....
