Marley Resort & Spa to open in Cable Beach in spring 2007
Bahamas (January 31, 2007) – Marley Resort & Spa, where inspiration flows like the rhythms of reggae beats, is opening in the spring of 2007. The alluring hideaway in Nassau, Bahamas once served as the Marley family’s summer home, lovingly watched over by Rita Marley herself. Today, Marley Resort & Spa echoes the family’s creative spirit as an intimate world-class sanctuary.
Located on the less-travelled section of famed Cable Beach in Nassau, the resort is developing into an elegant microcosm of African and Caribbean style. Sculptured hand-carved doors, mosaic tiles, intricate stonework and sandstone walls adorn. Each of the 16 luxurious, themed suites centres on Marley song titles, such as “Kinky Reggae,” “Nice Time” and “Kaya.” Rooms blend the warmth of history with the ultimate in comfort and convenience, and unparalleled service. Spanning past and present, Marley Resort & Spa’s accommodations and amenities are predicted to be as beautiful and unusual as its setting.
Amenities and services will include tropical rain showers, sumptuous whirlpool tubs, flat-screen televisions, high-speed Internet and in-room Bose entertainment systems. Guests have private access to two free-form swimming pools and a stretch of stunning beach. A five-star personal concierge with 24-hour room service includes a list of adventurous excursions to choose from and a collection of wedding, honeymoon and vow-renewal packages.
For even greater luxury, three "royal" suites push the pampering to new heights: Royal Rita features a signature Royal Chaise Lounge, rich mahogany furniture, African prints, hardwood floors and oceanfront views. Legend is designed with the King in mind, offering a separate living room, private balcony, hardwood floors and fully stocked wet bar. One Love, the resort’s signature honeymoon suite, has an intimate, in-room Jacuzzi tub for two, dual rainfall showers and stellar views.
Simmer Down, the resort’s restaurant will offer gourmet Caribbean cuisine with some classic family recipes. Organic produce and fresh seafood will play host here.
A couple’s suite and beach-hut treatment areas will make way at Natural Mystic, the resort’s exclusive spa. Guests will be treated with traditional secrets from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, as well as Rita’s herbal bath rituals.
Guests will have access to The Music Gallery, a behind-the-scenes look at Bob’s life and the Marley family’s music – a legendary passageway of his life and spirit. A chic in-house boutique will feature daughter Cedella Marley-designed Catch-A-Fire clothing, as well as the works of African, Jamaican and Bahamian artisans.
Special introductory rates start at $495 per room per night based on double occupancy and availability. For reservations and more information, please e-mail guestrelations@marleyresort.com or call (305) 420-6154.
