TRANSCRIPT
“BARBUDA IS A BEAUTIFUL
PLACE. IT’S UNSPOILED
IN A CERTAIN WAY.”
—ROBERT DE NIRO
The Caribbean holds a trove of island gems. Among them, Barbuda
glitters like a pristine yet understated diamond. The island is relatively
untouched, rich in culture, natural wonders and indigenous wildlife.
Here, the night skies are dusted with the brightest stars. The coastline
is serene, bound by sands of pink and white. Even the world under the
waves is enchanting, with dozens of shipwrecks and their subsequent
ecosystems offering otherworldly diving experiences.
On the leeward side of the island is Paradise Found. True to its name,
it’s a place of harmony and luxury, with a planned Nobu Hotel, Nobu
restaurant, spa and residences. Architecture will seamlessly intertwine
with the natural beauty of the island in a way that’s at once visually
striking and ecologically friendly. Experiences will be crafted with care.
And the memories you’ll make promise to be every bit as brilliant as the
island itself. Barbuda is many-faceted, bound to dazzle those who touch
it—and in turn, are touched by it.
THE CARIBBEAN’S HIDDEN JEWEL
ACCESS BY AIR
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has started
construction on a new airport on Barbuda with a 6,100-

THE NOBU EXPERIENCE
“YOU CAN TELL
HOW MUCH FUN
A CITY IS GOING TO BE
IF NOBU IS IN IT.”
—MADONNA
A single, eponymous restaurant in New York has grown to be a
global lifestyle brand spanning over five continents.
The Nobu brand is built on strong partnerships and extraordinary
pairings, born out of a friendship between Japanese chef Nobuyuki
Matsuhisa, actor and director Robert De Niro and movie producer
Meir Teper. With 37 restaurants around the globe, Nobu’s signature style
marries traditional Japanese cuisine with South American influences.
As a brand, Nobu continues to synthesize unlike ingredients by blending
luxury with comfort.
Named one of Luxury’s 25 Most Innovative Brands by Robb Report,
Nobu is ranked among an elite selection of global luxury hospitality
companies. In just five years, Nobu has opened hotels in Las Vegas,
Miami Beach, Manila, Malibu, Ibiza, London and Palo Alto, with eight more
new Nobu Hotels in development.
The brand’s most recent endeavor has been to create Nobu residences
that embody the same spirit, extending their philosophy of approachable
luxury to projects in Los Cabos, Toronto and Sao Paulo, and now at
Paradise Found in Barbuda.
Whether in the form of artfully crafted cuisine, resorts or residences,
Nobu continues to deliver experiences that are simply elegant and
always iconic.

“IT’S BEEN ONE OF THOSE
PLACES THAT’S UNIQUE—
YOU DON’T FIND PLACES
LIKE THIS ANYMORE.”
—ROBERT DE NIRO
A Hollywood legend, with countless awards and accolades, Robert De
Niro’s passion goes beyond acting. He is well-known for his influence in
Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood with ventures including co-founding
TriBeCa Productions, the Tribeca Film Festival, The Greenwich Hotel and
the restaurants Tribeca Grill and Nobu. As a co-founder of Nobu, he’s been
instrumental in the aesthetic and creative direction of the brand.
Four years ago, De Niro began seeking out the ideal location for his vision of
a Caribbean resort, and his team purchased property on Barbuda. He called it
“Paradise Found.” For him, developing hotels and restaurants is like creating
a film. It’s a collaborative endeavor where creative minds and diligent hands
come together to craft something exquisite.
In that way, Paradise Found is the next installment of a beloved franchise.
Perched on the former site of the famous K-Club, the resort is swathed in
gardens, dunes, tall palm trees and large specimen trees. It also features
two miles of white sand beach, one of the best beaches in the world,
renowned for its privacy and natural beauty.
A UNIQUE DESTINATION
On September 5, 2017, the strongest Atlantic hurricane on
record struck Barbuda. While Paradise Found was not yet
under development, the local population suffered significant
property damage. Paradise Found is working with the
government of Antigua and Barbuda to assist residents
in rebuilding their homes and their lives, using this as an
opportunity to create a greener, more sustainable Barbuda.
Rebuilding efforts include:
RAISING AWARENESS
Robert De Niro is raising awareness, appearing
at the UN and on CNN to plead for donations
and support.
SUPPORT
Paradise Found is sourcing needed equipment and
donations through its Barbuda Relief Fund.
PARTNERSHIP
Paradise Found is also supporting and participating
in Barbuda Green, a masterplan to rebuild Barbuda’s
utility systems to be based 90% on renewable energy.
Our goal is not only to rebuild Barbuda, but also to improve
long-term employment and tax revenues. We aim to make
the island more prosperous for its residents over the long
run, as well as become a model for other Caribbean
island nations.
REBUILDING BARBUDA
“OUR INTENTION IS TO HELP THE
ISLAND—THE ISLAND HAS TO
BE HEALTHY AND BACK UP AND
RUNNING. THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING ARE THE PEOPLE FIRST,
AND THEN THE HOTEL.”
—ROBERT DE NIRO

Situated at the edge of a discreet beach, the Paradise Found resort will
include a Nobu Hotel, Nobu restaurant, spa and residences, as well as
spaces for recreation and celebration.
The luxurious Nobu Hotel will have approximately 50 guestrooms,
each a separate villa with its own pool. The hotel is currently being
designed and is planned to start construction in late 2018 and open
in late 2020.
The Nobu residences will range in size from two-bedroom cottages
to large beachfront villas.
The Paradise Found resort will source its produce from local farms and
our own fields. The resort will have a village where guests can shop and
re-stock their pantry or galley. Recreational facilities will include a nine-
hole golf course, a water sports center and watercraft for exploring the
sea and the resort’s ponds and inland waterways.
