Pharrell Williams and David Grutman reveal Somewhere Else resort coming to The Bahamas

First came a restaurant, then came a Miami Beach-based hotel, now Pharrell Williams and David Grutman are bringing their vision for a resort to life in The Bahamas. Featuring 400 suites and guestrooms, Somewhere Else is set to debut in partnership with Atlantis Paradise Island in 2024. The property will be adjacent to Atlantis, taking over the current site of The Beach.

“Somewhere Else is going to be a one-of-a-kind resort,” said David Grutman, Founder, Groot Hospitality. “Not only will it offer a major extension of the unforgettable and high energy experiences we deliver with Groot Hospitality, but also, a clear focus on nature and restorative elements. We’ll have something for everyone, yet Pharrell and I are making sure Somewhere Else is unlike anywhere else.”

The duo has already garnered collaborative success as partners on Swan, the Miami-based restaurant, and The Goodtime Hotel.

The oceanfront hotel will offer multiple pools and recreation areas, luxury amenities and live entertainment.

“Teaming up with David Grutman and Pharrell to further evolve the resort is an endeavour we are incredibly proud to be embarking upon this year,” said Audrey Oswell, President and Managing Director, Atlantis Paradise Island. “We can’t wait to share the Somewhere Else experience with new and returning guests, which will be amplified by the culture and warm Bahamian hospitality that can only be found at Atlantis Paradise Island.”
