– and it's about to get another. Covering 16 acres (6.5 ha), the US$250 million St James Point mixed-use resort on Grand Cayman island will incorporate lush grounds and a 1,000-ft (305 m) secluded and private beach while, according to the designers, remaining sensitive to the existing tropical environment.

The Caribbean resort was commissioned by developer Beach Bay Land Limited (BBLL) and will be designed by TEN Arquitectos after it won a design competition ahead of Garcia Stromberg and SB Architects.

"Providing more integrated environments for living and travel, without their losing connection to nature or sense of place, is key to the success of a project like this," says Enrique Norten of TEN in a press release. "We have a unique concept here that will fit harmoniously within the landscape."
