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.

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".  

Congratulations, to Nat Brownsdon as he transitions to the role of manager for the Pavilion, the first private amenity for Christophe Harbour members.  Nat brings valuable experience from his past in the food and beverage industry. That, combined with his outgoing personality, professional attitude and organizational skills, will be a great fit for the operations of the Pavilion.  Opening in October, the club will operate from 9:00am until 6:30pm.

Christophe Harbour hosted its 2nd annual Member Guest March 30 - April 2, 2011. More than 75 people were in attendance including members, guests, partners, and local dignitaries. The event kicked off with a welcome reception at 127B Windswept Villa, with a special performance by the Liamuiga folk singers who entertained the crowd with traditional Kittitian song and dance. At a cocktail party hosted at the new Beach Club at Sandy Bank Bay, the group was treated to a "sneak preview" of what's to come when the venue officially opens this summer. The culmination of 2 days of fun in the sun was a beachside party at the Shiggidy Shack, complete with a special appearance by the famed "Fireman.
