Contemporary fixtures and exquisite fretwork conjure modern luxury with a touch of Caribbean flair.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Shoal Bay East curves directly outside, where quiet coral reefs invite snorkeling away from the busier western end of the island.
The rooms
Airy rooms feature wood accents and Frette linens, while select penthouses and suites add private plunge pools overlooking the water.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The oceanfront swimming pool looks onto the beach through an aquarium glass wall, and daybeds border the water.
The spa
An imported 300-year-old Thai teak house holds treatment rooms that combine Thai bodywork with indigenous Taino therapies.
The hammam
An all-white marble Turkish hammam sits beside the spa, centered around a heated stone slab.
The Bohio Bar & Lounge
The open-air lounge serves evening cocktails beneath circular chandeliers, hosting live jazz and sushi on Saturday nights.
At the table
The Rhum Room pours rare single-estate vintages, and 20 Knots serves Caribbean dishes directly on the sand.
How it began

New York's Goldstein family developed the resort in 2016, commissioning architect Lane Pettigrew to blend tropical forms with modern fretwork.
