What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Ibagari’s interiors display a modernist simplicity, not to mention a gallery-worthy art collection.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked along a peaceful shoreline between West Bay and West End, with reefs just offshore and easy water-taxi access.
The rooms
Modernist suites open wide to the coastal breeze, featuring private balconies, local artwork, and heated plunge pools in select units.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An oceanfront infinity pool and hot tub stretch along the wooden deck, accented by a glowing origami bird sculpture.
The spa and rituals
Stone massages and body treatments fill the spa, and open timber decks host guided cacao ceremonies and meditation.
At the table
Luna Muna serves island seafood and handmade pasta on the oceanfront deck, accompanied by Friday night Garifuna drumming.
How it began
Named after the Garifuna word for life, the adults-oriented retreat opened in 2017 as an intimate, art-filled sanctuary celebrating island culture.
