The spa hotel is located on the southeast coast of the Caribbean island of Antigua. In 50 meters from the hotel lies the bay and the beach of the same name — Half Moon Bay.

Construction on Moon Gate Hotel & Spa began in the first quarter of 2021. The hotel will consist of seven buildings and 49 rooms. In May 2022, construction workers began pouring the foundation for the fourth building. Walls have already been erected at one building, now the builders are laying tiles and waterproofing.

How to get Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment

The Antigua and Barbuda Citizenship Program provides four investment options:

  • $100,000+ — a non-refundable contribution to the National Development Fund;

  • $150,000+ — a non-refundable contribution to the University of the West Indies Foundation;

  • $200,000+ — purchase of real estate approved by the government;

  • $400,000+ — investments in business.

Together with the investor, their family can obtain a second citizenship: spouses, children under 30, parents over 55, brothers and sisters. The term for obtaining citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda is about 3 months.

The option with a contribution to the University of the West Indies Foundation is only available to families of six or more people.
