Grenada has a citizenship program for investors. To obtain a passport, program participants make a non‑refundable contribution to a government fund or purchase government‑approved real estate.
The list of objects is periodically updated and published on the official website of the program. Projects are popular with investors. For example, in the Six Senses La Sagesse hotel, investors have already bought out all the shares.
In the summer of 2022, Grenada announced the construction of a new project – the InterContinental Grenada Resort. The project is approved by the Government and is eligible for participation in the program. The opening of the hotel is scheduled for 2025.
Investors can already buy a $220,000 stake in it. When the construction is completed, investors will begin to receive income from 2 to 5% per annum.
After 5 years of ownership of real estate, the investor will be able to sell the share to another participant in the program.
Investors over the age of 18, with no criminal record, with legal income and in good health can take part in the Grenada Citizenship Program. The program department also accepts applications from citizens of Russia and Belarus, provided that they are not subject to EU, US or other sanctions.
What is known about the resort InterContinental Grenada
The hotel complex will be located in the southeast of the island of Grenada, in the district of St. David. 50 meters from the complex is the beach of La Sages and the bay of the same name. This is the epitome of resort Grenada: the alternation of white, gray and black sand on the beach, tropical palm trees around and a calm warm ocean.
The road from the complex to Maurice Bishop International Airport and the capital of Grenada - St. George's - will take about 30 minutes by car.
The InterContinental Grenada Resort will have 150 rooms, 30 of which are suites. Restaurants, bars, spa and fitness centers, as well as a swimming pool with an adjacent grill area will be built on the territory of the complex.
The hotel rooms will offer views of the Atlantic Ocean and mountains. Almost 560 m² of the complex will be used for conference halls and business centers. A shady garden will be planted nearby, in which they plan to break small reservoirs.
