What it’s good at
Notable
Curving nautical balconies and a sixty-foot atrium sculpture frame the oceanfront building.
Listed
Balconied residential suites pair kitchens with dedicated butler service on Goodman's Bay.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The quiet sands of Goodman's Bay sit outside, and the lively food shacks of Arawak Cay are ten minutes away.
The rooms
Every studio and suite includes a kitchen or kitchenette, with floor-to-ceiling glass opening onto a private balcony.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers sit within the heated infinity pool, and the 24-hour gym uses Technogym equipment.
The spa
The three treatment rooms focus on Ayurvedic Shirodhara oil rituals and massages using VOYA and Biologique Recherche products.
Bar Paul
The curved marble counter sits beneath woven bell lamps, serving craft cocktails and wine into the evening.
At the table
Amara pours poolside drinks on the timber deck, and OIA serves Mediterranean and Japanese dishes on an oceanfront terrace.
How it began
The resort stands on the site of the 1936 Gold Blossom Estate, where Clark Gable and Sean Connery once stayed.
