Beaches Ocho Rios will close on May 31, Sandals Resorts International (SRI) officials announced. The Jamaican property will subsequently undergo a ¡°major renovation¡± under third-party owner Guardian Resorts Jamaica Ltd.

Beaches Ocho Rios is the only SRI resort owned by a third-party group, said SRI officials, who envision ¡°the possibility of a continued relationship¡± following the renovation.

The Jamaica resort¡¯s closing follows SRI¡¯s $1 billion plan to expand the Beaches brand with new resorts, expansions at existing properties and the launch of Beaches resorts in new destinations.

Treasure Beach Village at the existing Beaches Turks & Caicos resort will open in the spring of 2026, while new properties Beaches Runaway Bay on Jamaica¡¯s North Coast, Beaches Barbados and Beaches Exuma in the Bahamas will open over the next several years, according to SRI officials.

¡°As we prepare for this next chapter of growth, our focus will be on developing and enhancing resorts where we can have the greatest impact on shaping the guest experience at every level,¡± SRI officials said.

Added SRI, ¡°While we will always cherish the unforgettable memories made at Beaches Ocho Rios, we look forward to continuing to welcome guests and new families to our expanding collection of world-class Caribbean resorts.¡±
