Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu's North Shore is set for a rebranding and relaunch under Marriott International's prestigious Ritz-Carlton brand. Host Hotels & Resorts has announced its agreement to acquire the 1,180-acre property from Blackstone Real Estate for approximately $680 million.
The acquisition includes the existing resort and an additional 49-acre parcel of land earmarked for future development. Marriott will take over management of Turtle Bay Resort, which spans 450 rooms and recently underwent a comprehensive renovation during the pandemic.
The extensive renovation covered all accommodations, including its 42 bungalows, as well as the lobby, pools, restaurants, shops, meeting space, spa, club lounge, and exterior. Host Hotels indicated that no significant capital expenditures are anticipated in the near term due to the recent upgrades.
Turtle Bay Resort offers a variety of amenities, including six food and beverage outlets, seven retail spaces, two golf courses, seven beaches, four resort pools, tennis and pickleball courts, an equestrian center, a working farm, and 18,000 square feet of indoor meeting space. Guests can also enjoy 12 miles of oceanfront trails.
This rebranding will mark the third Ritz-Carlton property in Hawaii, joining the Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua, and the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach. The rebranded resort promises to continue delivering luxury experiences on Oahu's scenic North Shore.
