Balearic-influenced hillside resort
Sun-bleached arches and breezy terraces climb the hillside above Grand Anse, running down to an unpretentious beach club on the sand.
“The indoor/outdoor communal areas make up base camp… rough white plastered walls and arches which play with the daylight as the sun dips.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Whitewashed Balearic arches and blue-and-white houndstooth tiles framing the freshwater pool deck.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
With just 28 suites and villas, it’s smallish, and feels correspondingly intimate.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A garden path leads down to Grand Anse Beach, and historic St. George's sits a ten-minute drive away.

The rooms
Suites open onto private balconies looking across the bay, finished with white plaster walls and art made from local sea glass.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater pool overlooks Grand Anse Bay from the clubhouse terrace, and select hillside villas have private plunge pools.
The spa
Treatment rooms look onto tropical gardens at the spa, where signature massages use local nutmeg and cinnamon oils.
At the table
The Flying Fish serves Caribbean dishes beneath open clubhouse arches, and the Beach Cabana grills seafood down on the sand.
How it began
First opened in the 1980s as Cinnamon Hill, the resort is now locally owned and sponsors regional hospitality scholarships.
