Towering naturally no less than 1,000 feet above sea level, the backdrop to a round of golf here is nothing short of spectacular. A place where active pursuits are all too easily indulged, golfing prowess may be the most popular way to enjoy the outdoors, but that’s just the beginning. With no need to sit still, tennis and padel courts await for a relaxed rally – or a healthy dose of competition – while hiking and biking routes leave room to explore the 475-acre grounds.

Designed for dining when you’ve worked up an appetite, The 20th Hole restaurant marks the halfway point of the course. The most elaborate of refuelling stations, alfresco dining here is perhaps the first encounter with farm-to-fork cuisine of your stay, with fresh flavours of lime, guava and papaya sourced directly from the organic on-site farm. When evening draws near, The Noisy Cricket is the place for a more sophisticated fare, serving coastal Mediterranean cuisine with a Caribbean twist, followed by a cocktail or two enjoyed at the bar, or out on the terrace. And though days spent bathed in tropical Caribbean sunlight rarely beckon the indoors, standalone villas exude the atmosphere of a private residence, making retreating from the resort to rest your head all too easy.
