African Sun Limited seeks to sell Caribbea Bay Resort

A five point six five million dollar exit is about to shrink African Sun Limited’s footprint while stacking cash for a tighter, higher-yield hotel lineup.

Caribbea Bay Resort sale push

• African Sun Limited wants shareholders to greenlight a US$5.65 million exit.
• September 19, 2025, board members okayed the PSPF offer.
