THE REGENT PALMS TURK AND CAICOS IS THE NEWEST ADDITION TO EMA MARKETING’S INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO

(Oakville, ON) EMEMA Marketing is thrilled to announce that its portfolio of first-class boutique hotels and resorts has expanded into the Caribbean with the addition of The Regent Palms, a 12acre lush estate located just steps away from world-renowned Grace Bay Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands. EMA Marketing has been appointed as the Canadian Sales Office for The Regent Palms.

Designed for those who demand only the very best of everything, the 72-suite Regent Palms is one of the true jewels in EMA’s unmatched portfolio of luxury resort properties. Inspired by historic Caribbean estates and the designs of Oliver Messel, The Regent Palms features hand-lit, gas exterior lighting and hand-cut Barbadian coral stone facades as well as huge, one-, two-and three-bedroom suites with massive outdoor terraces, most with an ocean-view. While each suite is served by secure high-speed internet, Wi-Fi and cable television, they have also been designed to evoke the romance of a lost era -complete with marble flooring, wainscoting, milled crown moulding, hand-tufted bedding, king bed and custom-made mahogany furniture. Larger suites may be subdivided for guest accommodation and also come equipped with a gourmet kitchen allowing guests to cook their own meals or to hire a professional chef to prepare them.
Eight extraordinary penthouse suites have also been created for the truly discerning traveller; nothing says absolute luxury like vaulted ceilings, keyed elevator access, flat panel TV, an interior “water room” with waterfall shower, 2 expansive terraces including a pergola, and an adjacent SunSuite featuring an outdoor shower and garden! Of course, daily butler service is also available with advance notice.

For those who enjoy dining outside their suite, the casually elegant Parallel23 features international cuisine, an impressive wine list and a large outdoor terrace facing perfectly manicured tropical gardens. Not far away, a sunken terrace surrounded by a gentle waterfall and more idyllic gardens offers dining for couples seeking special moments together. As an alternative, Plunge bar and restaurant, allows guests to enjoy its full menu while casually relaxing in a banquette or while sitting at the bar – all without leaving the pool!

Most unusual for a resort of this size is the 2,000 Square foot Messel Ballroom which lends itself perfectly to both business and personal events. With a wrap-around terrace and audio-visual facilities, the ballroom can comfortably seat up to 110 guests for functions. A fabulous outdoor, domed dining area is also available for those seeking a spectacular private function.

And what first-class resort would be complete without one of the finest spas in the region? Created by internationally-acclaimed spa designer and manager, Angel Stewart, The Regent Spa encompasses 26,000 sq. feet of pure elegance spread across a lush acre of magical landscape. The Spa uses the superlative products of Sonya Dakar, Somme Institute and Temple Spa (UK) and each separate treatment room is surrounded by soothing water features during the day and dramatic fire features at night. Or, take treatments in your suite or on your private terrace! Wherever you decide to take them, the Spa’s poetically-named, signature treatments – Mother of Pearl Body Exfoliation, Little Drops of Caribbean Rain or Moonlight and Star – will make you unwilling to leave this island paradise. 2011 Accolades include the following, #2 Top Resort Spa in The Atlantic and Caribbean, Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards #4 Hotel Spa in the Caribbean. Travel + Leisure, Worlds Best Awards. Top 500 Hotels in the World, Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards.

Situated in the centre of the Spa is Regent Palm Yoga and Pilates studio which overlooks a 150foot central water garden flanked by majestic date palms; further along is a fully-equipped fitness centre (including personal trainers), tennis court and on-site shopping. Golf, scuba and snorkelling are also just minutes away! But for those who want to avoid any exertion whatsoever, there is nothing better than Regent Palm’s exclusive serpentine infinity pool; its wooden decking, complimentary Wi-Fi, sun pods, hot tub “island” in the center of the pool and a hidden sundeck are just a few of the features that make this pool one-of-a-kind in the Caribbean.

For The Regent Palm’s smallest guests, the Conch Kritters Club offers supervised full day, half day and evening activity sessions for kids aged 4 – 12 years, along with full use of a dedicated playroom filled with a slew of board games, video games and toys.

EMA Marketing proudly represents a collection of some of the most sought-after luxury boutique hotels in Canada and the United States (two Relais & Chateaux); and Los Cabos, Mexico, as well as an award-winning DMC in Los Cabos. In addition to state-of-the-art meeting facilities, a stunning location, and superb amenities, each property offers guests a truly unique experience and outstanding personalized service.
