What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The accommodations are simply too substantial, too stylish, too thoughtfully equipped, too subtly high-tech.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Perched above Cul-de-Sac, the property sits between the wild sands of Grandes Cayes and the lively dining of Orient Bay.
The rooms
Individually styled suites feature Select Comfort beds in Italian linens, with private balconies framing views across the turquoise bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool is set into a dark timber deck looking out across the bay.
At the table
Fresh pastries and coffee are served at the communal timber table, and guests can pour drinks from the honesty bar.
How it began
Owner Marion Dufaur shaped the discreet hillside retreat in 2023, bringing sharp French-Caribbean design to an intimate seven-room hideaway.
