Sundowners on Galley Bay’s oceanfront deck must surely rank as one of life’s little luxuries. In fact almost everything at this award-winning hideaway seems to have been designed to soothe and pamper; man and Mother Nature having combined their talents to create an exclusive retreat with the accent on refined rusticity. Abundant use of bamboo, thatch and terracotta has been made throughout this sprawling low-rise resort, their aesthetic appeal matched only by the lushness of the tropical gardens and beauty of the three-quarter-mile white sand beach.

And it is definitely the beach that is the prize here, the rooms and suites that flank its edge always at a premium. Their interiors have been unapologetically inspired by their tropical setting, the vibrant fabrics and wicker furnishings totally appropriate when the Caribbean Sea is right on the doorstep. Consider taking one of the premium suites if you really want a treat, their step-down living areas, generous bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows well worth the additional cost. Another twenty-four of these have just recently been added, their dark woods and subtle colour schemes a whole new look for Galley Bay. But if your own private splash pool has even more appeal, turn your
attention to one of the quaint Gauguin cottages that lie fifty-yards behind in the gardens, their unique design incorporating two thatched roof rondavels that serve as cosy bedrooms and separate bathrooms. Pandering to contemporary requirements in all cases are mini-fridges, televisions and coffee machines.

The comprehensive list of sporting facilities here includes a tennis court, swimming pool, fitness room and nonmotorised water sports, whilst those wishing to explore the island will also find themselves well placed for the shops
in town and the 18-hole golf course at Cedar Valley. Yet when it comes to dining most guests are more than happy to stay right where they are, the Euro-Caribbean cuisine of The Sea Grape and grilled dishes of The Gauguin enhanced by live entertainment and the sound of the surf.
