The Crane Difference
| The sea at "The Crane" is really quite incredible. There is such a wide array of blues, turquoises and aquamarines between the shallows of the shoreline and the deeper water beyond the reef, that you can only believe that the Creator has used absolutely every shade available on his palette. When you actually go into the sea it becomes quite obvious why the water at the Crane is so frequently described as "crystal clear". The beach, named by Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous as "one of the ten best beaches in the world", is famous for its magnificent expanse, picturesque location and the rare quality of its soft, pink sand. With the refreshing coolness of the steady trade wind breezes, there can be few places on earth to rival The Crane for its stunning natural beauty. | |
In the 19th century The Crane was built as the island's first resort hotel. During the 20th century The Crane became the popular choice of those discerning people who place peace, tranquility and natural beauty high upon their list of values. And during the first few years of the 21st century, The Crane is being transformed into one of the very finest private residence resorts in the Caribbean for its owners and guests.
World class amenities on completion of the development will include: lush, tropical landscaped gardens, a manned gatehouse, a choice of gourmet and casual restaurants, a fully equipped, state-of-the-art health spa and fitness centre, lighted tennis courts and a variety of swimming pools. And with less than seven residences per acre and ocean frontage spanning for a half-mile, the feeling of privacy and tranquility for which The Crane has been famous for 115 years remains assured.
