Yes. The Estate Cottage and Paradise Beach Villa are built for families and groups, with twenty acres, a pool and trails to fill the days.

A nine-hole cross-country course runs across the estate, free for guests, with clubs to borrow and a croquet lawn beside it.

December to May is driest and busiest. June to November is quieter and greener, with warm sea and lower rates.

The hotel has its own beach which is about a five-minute walk through the Estate. However, it is a bit wild and unkempt but lovely for walks and morning dips. Most guests like to go off and explore during the day discovering Bequia’ s many beautiful beaches and hikes, then return in the afternoons to relax by the pool. In general, it’s not a good idea to be on the beach in the late afternoons as that’s when the sand flies, or no see ums, come out to bite anyone who’s around!

Bequia has six beautiful beaches to discover: Spring Beach (Firefly Beach), Lower Bay, Princess Margaret Beach, Industry Bay, Hope Bay and Adam’s Bay. Nothing is far away on the island, and most of the main beaches are within a 10-minute taxi ride. Taxis are easy to arrange, reliable and relatively inexpensive, making it simple to explore a different beach each day.
