Also in AFAR.
Friends have stayed happily in the Bequia Beach Hotel, but we always hire a villa.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along Friendship Bay, the property offers quiet shores and boat charters across the Grenadines, just miles from neighboring Mustique.
The rooms
Cleverly tiered layouts let guests wake up to sea views from the pillow, opening onto expansive verandas cooled by coastal breezes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A saltwater infinity pool sits on the edge of Friendship Beach, looking across the water toward Mustique.
The gym and spa
The air-conditioned gym sits under vaulted timber beams, beside a spa with a sauna and steam hammam.
At the table
Dining pavilions serve fresh Caribbean seafood on Friendship Beach, and casual beach bars offer hanging swing chairs.
How it began
Swedish hotelier Bengt Mortstedt first visited Bequia in 1992, eventually building this vintage-inspired haven on the island's southern shores in 2009.
