This Caribbean classic, only the fifth property in the region to be awarded Relais & Chateaux status, raises the bar when it comes to tailor-made services – carried out with all the charm and friendly efficiency that you would expect from a true family-run hotel. Thirty spacious suites – some with their own private pools – form a horseshoe shape leading down to a natural sandy cove. Choose from Junior Suites with spacious sitting areas to Suites with a lounge and separate bedroom; all feature air-conditioned bedrooms, minibars, CD players and tea/coffee making facilities. Five private villas are located close by.

Home-cooked breakfasts are served on your patio or balcony with light tapas-style lunches available in The Beach Club. In the evening, at Rhodes Restaurant, Gary Rhodes’s legacy lives on in the tantalising menu made with fresh local produce, served by candlelight. Guests may relax around the pool, work out in the fitness room, enjoy sunfish sailing, kayaking and snorkelling or challenge fellow guests to snooker and tennis. Spa treatments using natural products are available in The Spa at Calabash and the yoga pavilion.
