 "One of the Caribbean Hotels you should visit right now"  

"Sugar Mill Set across from the water on Apple Bay in Tortola, this is a throwback to the great Caribbean inns of yesteryear, with an excellent on-site restaurant (one that’s among the hottest tables on the island) and a charming collection of cottages gathered around a 400-year-old sugar mill."

Hotels we can't wait to check into-  Sugar Mill Hotel, Tortola

 ....a historic 1640 rum distillery  transformed iinto one of Tortola’s top hotels. Sugar Mill’s lush gardens, tropical watercolors , and 24 ocean-view rooms  some with outdoor showers are a nod to classic Caribbean inns. Guests can opt for an all-inclusive package or customize their vacation with experiences like the island tour, champagne picnic, or papaya and pineapple bamboo polish at the spa. Covered beach beds for canoodling honeymooners and candlelit dinners at the signature restaurant and the new seaside Mediterranean eatery add to the romance.

Hotel class: Upscale    Romantic, historic property that's one of Tortola's best boutique options

There's a lot to like about this historic hotel, which sits on the grounds of a 400-year-old sugar plantation, and is styled in an eclectic, but cohesive, mix of colonial, beachy, and rustic elements. When taken together, there's an undeniable romance to this oceanside boutique property. The decor fully embraces the hotel's history, with old stone pathways and rusted relics of the original sugar processing equipment. Tasteful accents and furnishings -- like resin wicker seating, refinished hardwood flooring, and chic sundeck furniture -- add hints of modern tropical design, and the tan-and-white color scheme throughout gives everything a breezy, laid-back look that enhances the hotel's overall easy-going vibe. The property features three distinct common areas, including the Rum House (with two restaurants and a lobby bar), the private beach across the street, and the combined sundeck and pool area. The vibe in all three spaces is relaxed, elegant, and decidedly adult-centric. The property is better suited to couples seeking a romantic getaway than families looking for kid-friendly beach activities.

Apple Bay

 

Apple Bay on the island of Tortola is, quite simply, a surfer’s paradise. The winter season brings with it some totally rad waves, dude! Surfers describe it as having some of the best swells in the tropics. .......

This side of the island is more rustic and undeveloped, so expect to find a little slice of real life. Yes, you’ll be there with other tourists, but it will be one of the most local experiences you can have. And don’t forget the food! The Sugar Mill Restaurant is often referred to as the best in the Caribbean.

 *The Emerald Coast

 

On the North West shore  of Tortola between Brewers Bay in the East and the western end of the Island at Smugglers cove lies the Emerald Coast. Named not after precious stones but after the lush green tropical vegetation that  covers the hillsides and the shiny green waters of it's coves and bays, the lush green forests of the  Emerald Coast contrast with the rest of the Virgin islands and other islands of the Caribbean.

The least developed part of Tortola,  the Emerald Coast is home to numerous beaches, unique hotels and restaurants both upscale and local. Here you won't find high rise buildings, fast food joints, or shopping malls, just a few unspoiled villages like Carrot Bay and Capoons Bay and one livelier spot in the world famous Cane Garden Bay. And sunshine, beaches, reefs, flocks of pelicans and amazing sunsets.  Unspoiled , peaceful and beautiful, the Emerald Coast will steal your heart away. Come home soon.
