The brand-new Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay is now open for bookings starting June 1, 2027, and it's priced at a flat 55,000 World of Hyatt points per night across available dates. That's opening-season pricing on a Category 8 property that most insiders expect to see category-bumped or dynamically repriced once the first wave of reviews hits and management realizes what they've got on one of the world's best beaches.
Cash rates are starting around $1,300–$1,500+ per night before taxes and fees, depending on the exact June dates. At 55k points, you're looking at roughly 2.4–2.7 cents per point on the low end — solid for a new-build Andaz on Grace Bay, even if it's not the steal of the century. Peak/off-peak doesn't apply here yet; it's running on Hyatt's current dynamic-ish award calendar, but the early availability is holding steady at that 55k sweet spot.
Standard rooms and a selection of entry-level suites appear bookable on points right now. The property is small — just 59 rooms plus residences — so inventory won't last forever once the hype builds. Early birds are already locking in ocean-view options that would cost a small fortune in cash during high season.
The Chase Transfer Clock Is Ticking
Chase's devaluation of Ultimate Rewards transfers to World of Hyatt is live for new Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred holders as of mid-June 2026. Existing cardholders get until October 2026 before the ratio drops from 1:1 to 4:3. That means every 4 Chase points will only get you 3 Hyatt points going forward.
Do the math on a 5-night stay: 275,000 Hyatt points. At the current 1:1, that's 275,000 Chase points. Once the 4:3 kicks in, you'll need roughly 367,000 Chase points for the same redemption. The difference is more than a business class ticket to the Caribbean. If you've been sitting on a pile of Chase points and eyeing this property, the decision isn't theoretical anymore.
Hyatt properties like this have a habit of getting more expensive after the "new hotel glow" fades and occupancy stabilizes. Remember what happened with some of the other splashy Andaz openings? The early award rates didn't stick around for long. Booking now locks in the 55k rate and gives you 12+ months to watch for any operational hiccups before your trip.
Is it perfect? Probably not. New resorts almost never are. There will be teething issues — service kinks, that slight smell of fresh paint mixed with contractor dust. But you're getting Grace Bay sand between your toes at a price that beats most alternatives in Turks & Caicos, where true luxury points redemptions have historically been scarce.
The edgy truth: Waiting for "better availability" or a potential price drop is how points collectors end up paying 80k+ for the same room six months later. The calculus favors transferring now if you have the Chase points and the dates work.
Action item: Log into your World of Hyatt account today, search for June 2027 dates at Andaz Turks & Caicos at Grace Bay, and book a 5-night (or longer) stay while the 55k rate holds. If you're relying on Chase transfers, move those points over before your card's cutoff date hits. The window is narrower than the beach at high tide.
