We are honoured to be included in The Times round up of the '27 of the coolest boutique hotels in the Caribbean':

Swap gloomy grey days for island life with our pick of the pads that provide a piece of paradise (without the crowds)

“Authentic” has taken over from “hidden gem” as travel’s hardest-working cliché… the problem is that both perfectly describe Bequia Beach Hotel. It’s on Friendship Bay, the best beach in St Vincent and the Grenadines, and its time-capsule conviviality has been fiercely protected by the owner, Bengt Mortstedt, for almost 20 years. No need for a DNA test: the whitewashed, cane and rattan interiors mean these rooms could only be of Caribbean heritage. The same goes for its Bagatelle restaurant, where you nod to the fishermen as they land your lobster. Though be warned: the rum punches at Jack’s Beach Bar are so “Popeye” strong you’ll actually start believing the local sailors’ tall tales.
