Golden Rock Inn dates back to the 1800s and is set on 100 acres of land stretching up the jungle-clad slopes of Mount Nevis. The property has been thoughtfully restored through the eyes of the owners, New York artists Helen and Brice Marden; in collaboration with the Miami based designer Raymond Jungles. This hilltop hideaway has just 11 unique rooms and cottages, each with a private terrace. We love the historic two-storey sugar mill which has now been transformed into comfortable two-bedroom accommodation. There’s a spring-fed freshwater pool and the tropical gardens here are absolutely remarkable, the dazzling variety of plants are well tended by the hotel’s friendly staff. The Rocks restaurant has a strong emphasis on locally sourced produce and the hotel’s bar serves signature cocktails underneath an atmospheric stone vaulted ceiling – both are popular with guests and locals alike.

7 nights from £2,275 per person including breakfast.
