Here’s the inside track on a remarkable hidden Eden on the slopes of Mount Nevis, where the greatest temptation is to idle the day away by the pool sipping rum punch. Let us introduce you to Golden Rock Inn, a bohemian boutique bolthole on the slopes of Mount Nevis. Found within a restored sugar mill, built of elephant grey volcanic stone, punctuated with wooden window shutters painted in imperial red, this is a spectacular hotel, set amongst glossy green palms and flowering trees. There are 11 charmingly simple guest rooms in standalone bungalows set within the privacy of verdant botanical gardens offering sea views towards Antigua and Montserrat, and a destination restaurant, The Rocks, where Chef James Eaton created hearty Caribbean fare.
Nevis is a delight to explore. The friendly family-style team at Golden Rock Inn are on hand to make arrangements for a memorable stay. You can self-drive or join a tour aboard one of these 4?4 buggies from local adventure specialists Funky Monkey Tours – either way you will be given access to the wilder side of the island from its unspoilt beaches, lush interior, where you can spot wild donkeys (the population dates back to the era of slavery when the animals were ‘beasts of burden’) to the fascinating ruins of the old sugar cane estates.
