What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Modeled after traditional West Indian cottages, Belle Mont Farm’s 84 guesthouses have pitched roofs, wood-shingle walls and wraparound verandas.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Mount Liamuiga rises directly behind the grounds. Downhill, Dieppe Bay and its black-sand beaches sit an eight-minute drive away.
The rooms
Standalone cottages open onto wraparound verandas with private plunge pools. Deep outdoor bathtubs sit open to the ocean breeze.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The multi-level infinity pool has a swim-up bar and looks across the water toward Sint Eustatius.
The spa
The Mangifera Wellbeing Spa uses heated basalt stones, bamboo sticks, and herbal poultices for bodywork.
Restaurant
The Kitchen
The two-level dining hall opens through French doors toward the sea, and upstairs The Mill Bar pours Caribbean rum.
How it began
After the island sugar trade closed in 2005, this former cane plantation was reclaimed as a model for sustainable agriculture.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
