A very special discovery is this charming little sanctuary for elegant Caribbean escapism at its most relaxing. Intimate in scale and with a welcoming ‘tropical country-house’ atmosphere, the British-owned and club-like Eden Rock rises on a peninsula seemingly straight from the sea, framed on either side by the reef-sheltered sandy beach of Baie St Jean. Loving restoration and enhancement has created a setting rich in character and utterly tranquil in mood, where you can enjoy a sense of ‘barefoot luxury’ in relaxed but pampered style. The airport is just five minutes’ drive away.
