So these 2 looked chummy so I dug on him (Boykin Curry) and saw some familiar names…

Boykin’s Got a Builder for Artsy Xanadu- Playa Grande Beach Club

Jan. 11, 2008

Dominican Republic's northern shore: 2,000 staggeringly beautiful jungled acres, bordered by a huge beach called Playa Grande

Three years after Boykin Curry and a crew of well-heeled friends—including Moby, Richard Meier, and Charlie Rose—bought Playa Grande, a $60 million oceanfront plot in the Dominican Republic, no work has started on their artistic beach community for lack of a development partner. But now one has finally been selected, according to a letter Curry circulated to his partners last week, and work is set to begin. “This extraordinary process has taken far longer and involved more work than any of us initially imagined,” Curry wrote. Aman Resorts, known for superluxe hotels in places like Bhutan and Bora Bora, will build infrastructure and projects like a nature preserve, an organic farm, and a school for local children. The company will take over the property’s golf course and build two hotels while leaving untouched the two-mile stretch of beachfront the partners want to use for their own and artists’ villas. Investors needn’t wait for work to finish before they can visit. “I urge you to spend some time at Playa Grande this winter,” Curry wrote.

Within weeks, the couple persuaded some friends—among them Charlie Rose, Mariska Hargitay, and George Soros—to come aboard as investors and allow Kemble to mastermind a familial resort with a clubhouse, cabanas, and bungalows. Ten years later, Kemble is standing on the porch of Casa Guava, her oceanfront home at Playa Grande Beach Club, and laughing at the "dream come true–slash–nightmare," as she puts it, of having complete creative control.

"We're at the edge of the jungle, where there's a lot of drama and darkness," says Kemble. I want them to feel the flow of generations and hear the kids shriek and laugh as they run between the houses and the pool.
