An earth toned color palette, locally sourced stone and soft wood accents will be used throughout to create a calming, organic aesthetic.

The property will be composed of three interconnected yet distinct zones, each anchored by a bespoke architectural focal point. The lobby, centered around a living olive tree, symbolizes resilience and longevity. The Wellness Center, located at the heart of the resort, will feature a cenote-style water element designed for introspection and renewal.

Lastly, the signature restaurant, set against panoramic ocean views, will feature an indoor/outdoor pool that blurs the line between land and sea.

Discover the spirit of Antigua on a luxury catamaran

May 5, 2025 No Comments

For travellers craving immersive and adventurous exploration on their next beach vacation, TradeWinds’ curated sailing itineraries in Antigua offer a novel way to access the island’s beauty.

Rather than being limited to a single location, guests aboard a TradeWinds luxury catamaran experience Antigua from the sea, visiting the sandy beaches of the west side, shallow reefs teeming with sea life on the north, and deep blue waters ideal for fishing along the south and east coasts—all without the hassle of unpacking or planning logistics.

Each day aboard a TradeWinds yacht brings a new anchorage, complemented by excursions on land and below the surface: guided hikes to panoramic viewpoints like Shirley Heights for an epic Caribbean sunset, snorkeling and diving over vibrant reefs, behind-the-scenes tastings at a local gin distillery, and a stroll through historic Nelson’s Dockyard. Guests return to a floating base outfitted for comfort—well-appointed private cabins with en suite baths, chef-prepared meals, and the easy rhythm of a small group led by an experienced crew.

What it's like on board

You wake to coffee and a spread of fresh fruit and baked goods on the aft deck, the water calm around you as the crew preps for departure.

As the sails go up, you relax on the comfy lounges on the foredeck, watching the coastline recede. A bit later, the anchor drops in Deep Bay where you slip on a mask and fins and swim out to explore the wreck of the Andes, a 120-year-old steamer that caught fire here en route to Peru. Back onboard, lunch is served—grilled fish, bright salads, cold rosé.

The afternoon unfolds slowly: a leisurely walk along the beach, a try at paddleboarding in the shallows, maybe a nap in the shade. As the sun drops lower, you hike up to Fort Barrington. From the top, the view opens wide—Antigua, Redonda, Montserrat, St. Kitts & Nevis in the distance. You head back just in time for dinner and drinks under the stars.

An effortless way to travel

With room for just 10 guests across five cabins, TradeWinds yachts offer a rare blend of privacy and camaraderie. Cabins feature queen beds and en-suite baths. The flybridge and aft cockpit feature plenty of space to hang, while the aft platform is ideal for lounging or plunging into the sea.

Your luxurious floating home moves with you, bringing you to lesser-known beaches and bays with minimal footprint and maximum ease.

Travellers conscious of their eco footprint will want to book their Antigua sailing adventure aboard Ohana, one of four electric-powered yachts in TradeWinds’ fleet. Across all TradeWinds vessels, crews use non-toxic cleaning supplies and avoid single use plastics. Locally sourced, low-impact menus are part of a broader commitment to sustainability and community support.

A TradeWinds’ seven-night sailings in Antigua start from $7,700 per cabin. This rate includes meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage, and daily excursions. TradeWinds fleet of more than 40 catamaran yachts operation in the Caribbean, Europe, the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.  Learn more about TradeWinds Experience at www.trade-winds.com.

Nova Scotia’s Fox Harb’r Resort debuts new ocean golf course and luxury spa

April 9, 2025 No Comments

As Nova Scotia gains ground as one of Canada’s top golf destinations, Fox Harb’r Resort, Eastern Canada’s only Four Diamond, Five-Star resort, is marking its 25th anniversary with a sweeping transformation designed to elevate the guest experience on and off the course.

Located about a 90-minute drive from Halifax and Moncton airports, or a convenient flight into the resort’s 5,000-foot runway, Fox Harb’r was founded in 2000 by the late Ron Joyce, co-founder of Tim Hortons. It was envisioned as a destination that would blend luxury, nature, and maritime hospitality onNova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore. Twenty-five years later, that vision is evolving under the leadership of his son, Steven Joyce, with major investments reshaping the property’s golf offering, spa experience, and luxury accommodations.

New golf offering for 2025

Now open for the season, Fox Harb’r Resort will debut its brand-new Ocean Course on May 7. This dramatic coastal layout, designed by top Canadian golf architects Doug Carrick and Tom McBroom, features ocean views, natural elevation changes, and strategic shot-making. The course draws inspiration from traditional links-style designs and stretches along the scenic Strait.

“Nova Scotia continues to grow as a golf destination, and Fox Harb’r brings something distinctive to the province’s landscape,” says Kevin Toth, President of Fox Harb’r Resort. “Whether it’s a round of golf, a weekend escape, or time at the spa, we offer a place to truly unwind and recharge.”

A second full 18-hole layout, the Vineyard Course, is under development and expected to open in 2027.

Expanded wellness facilities

Opening May 9, the reimagined Spa & Wellness Centre is a major addition to the resort’s guest experience.

It was developed in collaboration with Core Essence, a Canadian wellness design firm with international expertise and a portfolio that includes leading hospitality brands. The oceanfront facility includes a full hydrothermal circuit with sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and salt lounge. Signature treatments use marine ingredients from the Atlantic, and a new fitness studio offers recovery therapies designed for both golfers and wellness-focused travellers.

“This transformation is more than an investment in luxury wellness. It’s about creating a world-class retreat where guests can fully immerse themselves in renewal and relaxation,” says Toth. 

In addition to golf and spa, Fox Harb’r offers a wide range of activities across its 1,400-acre property. Guests can enjoy a deep-water marina, sport shooting, kayaking, and archery. The resort’s Cape Cliff dining room features seasonal menus showcasing Nova Scotia’s finest ingredients, while accommodations include 88 ocean-view suites and a collection of multi-bedroom townhomes ideal for group stays. This year, Fox Harb’r will also unveil a new collection of 18 golf-side luxury residences, designed by Atlantic Canadian architect and Order of Canada recipient Brian MacKay-Lyons.

Travel offers for 2025

With many Canadians reconsidering travel to the U.S. this year, Fox Harb’r is promoting two new packages for spring and summer:

Stay & Play Golf – Includes one or two rounds, access to the Golf Academy, a 20% discount on spa treatments, and deluxe breakfast in the Cape Cliff dining room. 

Fourth Night Free – Guests booking three nights receive the fourth night complimentary. This offer provides extra time to explore the nearby communities of Tatamagouche and Malagash, known for their wineries, distilleries, and artisan shops, or simply unwind with more time on the course and at the spa.
