Historic pink-sand cove
Twelve oceanfront acres wrap around restored colonial arches, secret garden trails, and a relaxed, low-key rhythm along seven miles of pink sand.

Also in AFAR.
The trust and flow that comes from having worked for decades with the same people comes through in the resort’s friendly service.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Quiet coastal roads lead past colonial buildings in Governor's Harbour and the native orchids of the nearby Leon Levy Plant Preserve.
The rooms
Whitewashed cottages and suites feature cool pink coral stone floors, crisp shiplap ceilings, and private verandas set behind blooming jasmine.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A restored circular freshwater pool sits on the oceanfront lawn, surrounded by sun loungers and coconut palms.
The spa and gym
The boutique spa uses Natura Bissé skincare for body scrubs, and the gym houses cardio equipment and weights.
Dogs stay too.
The Fig Tree Restaurant
The dining room serves fresh Atlantic seafood and local produce under white cathedral ceilings and woven pendants.
At the table
The open-air Sand Bar serves craft cocktails and light bites beside the pool under woven pendant lamps.
How it began
Once a 1920s pineapple plantation estate, the property lay swallowed by dense subtropical jungle for thirty years before a meticulous seven-year rescue.
