Additional amenities are slated to include a 96,500-square-foot luxury boutique retail district located on the first two levels of the resort, a six-acre pool district, and LIV and LIV Beach experiences.

A 14,000-square-foot fitness center and 55,000-square-foot Miami-based Lapis Spa offering 44 treatment rooms, as well as a purifying salt cave, healing infrared sauna and invigorating event sauna will also be a part of the on-site wellness amenities.

Men’s and women’s hydrotherapy lounges, a co-ed sensory room with communal healing water, and 11 luxurious suites offering exclusive spa experiences are also in the works, according to the statement.

Among the 36 restaurant concepts slated to open in December include award-winning chefs and restaurateurs from Chef Gabriela Cámara of Contramar and Michelin-starred chefs Masa Ito and Kevin Kim behind New York City’s sushi counter Ito. Alan Yau, Evan Funke and David Grutman are just a few more of the names on the star-studded celebrity-chef lineup.
