We're thrilled to share that The Pavilion beach club at Sandy Bank Bay has officially opened. The building is stunning, the views tremendous, and the overall atmosphere one of sophisticated island living. We've enjoyed welcoming the many guests who have already taken advantage of this remarkable spot. If you haven't been to Christophe Harbour lately, make plans to come visit us soon and enjoy liming, dining, and sunning at The Pavilion.

October 2011: BIG NEWS... The Pavilion beach club is open for business. We've enjoyed welcoming members and guests to the facility and watching them lounge by the pool and sample Chef Damien's delectable menu. In addition to The Pavilion opening, a tremendous landscaping effort within Sandy Bank Bay has transformed the neighbourhood into a tropical haven. Initial work is underway on the welcome center, including road grading and landscape design, which will provide a fitting introduction for our guests.

The vehicle is a 2011 Toyota Fortuner expected to be put into official patrol rotation as part of an initiative to keep St. Kitts safe. Christophe Harbour COO LeGrand Elebash made the Transfer of Keys to Police Commissioner C.G. Walwyn. Also, on hand was Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas and Mr. Bill Hughson, president of the Healthcare Group for DeVry Inc., parent company for Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.

Last year, Damien came onboard as Executive Chef for Christophe Harbour’s Beach House restaurant, now he is responsible for developing the menu for the Club. Chef brings more than 30 years experience to this role, boasting a career that has taken him from the British Virgin Islands, Washington DC, Colorado and now, St. Kitts. When asked what influences his menu selections he says, "I thrive when creating delicious dishes from a vast array of fresh, locally grown ingredients. The seasonal variety inspires me and creeps onto my menu".
