VOYAGE

THE CARIBBEAN’S BEST RESTAURANTS, A HIDEAWAY I N THE SAN JUAN

ISLANDS, RUM FUN IN BARBADOS & CRUISING COSTA RICA

Hidden among tropical gardens and palm trees around Friendship Bay

lie the retro-styled rooms, cottages and villas of Bequia Beach Hotel.

Packed with quirky features – from vintage suitcases to a reception desk

made from half a hot air balloon basket – the hotel exudes the playful,

old-school character of the Caribbean island. Fly in using its new air

shuttle from St Lucia or Barbados, or anchor your yacht in the bay’s

tranquil waters and tender in. Bengt Mortstedt, the hotel’s Swedish

owner, has recently moved his 115ft classic Benetti Star of the Sea to the hotel so guests

can cruise the Grenadines. Back on dry land dine at the shore-side Bagatelle restaurant,

which offers a blend of Caribbean and Scandinavian flavors. bequiabeachhotel.com
