The house
Soho HouseBarefoot beach clubhouse
The club trades city living for bare feet on the sand, with open-air bars and candlelit dinners along the wooden jetty.
“The 40 rooms are simple yet sophisticated, with emperor-size timber beds, woven cane mirrors, and shuttered windows that open onto private sea-facing balconies.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
The look is unmistakably Caribbean but also refreshingly cliché-free; every detail, in classic Soho House style, feels both carefully considered and effortlessly achieved.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Charlestown sits a short stroll away, and boats depart the bay for turtle spotting across the Tobago Cays.
The rooms
All forty bedrooms look out across the water from low palapa-style buildings, finished with vintage cane, rattan, and scallop-edged minibars.
The spa and gym
An upstairs studio hosts daily yoga and meditation, and open-air palapas by the water host massages using Cowshed products.
The Bar
Wooden stools line an open timber counter right on the sand, looking straight out over the turquoise water.
At the table
Open-air thatched pavilions serve conch fritters and jerk chicken tacos fresh from the wood-fired grill.
How it began
The site was once the 1990s Tamarind Beach Hotel, reimagined in 2022 with reclaimed timber and traditional blue tin roofs.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
