Tobago beach accommodation

Description of Tobago beach accommodation

This gorgeous eco resort offers 17 cabins tucked into the hillside overlooking the fishing village of Castara. On the northwest coast of Tobago, there are two beaches where you can swim, snorkel and fish in the warm, Caribbean waters. The resort was long listed in the 2014 World Responsible Tourism Awards for ‘Best for Beach Tourism’.

The eco resort can accommodate up to 42 people, and has a range of accommodations to suit different budgets, with beautifully furnished, compact apartments to larger Japanese-style haiku lodges. These wooden buildings are all discretely tucked away in two acres of lush, tropical gardens, harmoniously blending in with the natural landscape while being angled to allow idyllic views over the sweeping bay, where you can watch fishermen hauling in their nets each morning. Our restaurant also offers stunning ocean views, and has gained a reputation on the island for its delicious food, attentive service and great atmosphere.

This family run eco resort offers an alternative to the typical Caribbean hotel. Our principles are focused on beauty, balance and respect, and this is reflected in the sensitive design of our buildings, the great relationship we have with our staff and guests, and our beautiful gardens.

This is the ideal place to engage in the tropical landscapes and local culture, while enjoying comfort and stylish accommodation. From the rooms and the restaurant, you’ll see a great variety of hummingbirds coming in to feed, as well as soaring frigate birds, and local fishermen returning to shore with their catch. After dark, fireflies glow in the gardens, and you’ll awake to the sound of the dawn chorus each morning.

Our guests enjoy the attentive service of our staff as well as a daily visit from our manager, Porridge, who grew up in Castara and has is renowned for his friendliness, charisma and attention to detail. We don’t offer services such as 24-hour staff in residence or daily room service; this Tobago beach accommodation is the ideal place for those who appreciate simplicity and being able to get away from it all.

Castara is a quiet village, untouched by tourism. We are just a four-minute walk from the local services in the villages, including the rum bars and the fisherman’s co-op on the beach where you can buy fresh fish. In front of Castara, there is a quiet, golden sand beach, or head to Little Bay where you can swim with turtles and angel fish in the coral reef. Behind the resort is rainforest, filled with birds. A 20-minute walk through the forest is Castara Waterfall, where you can go for a dip in the freshwater pool.

74 species of birds can be spotted around the resort. We can also arrange bird watching walks into the protected rainforest with renowned ornithologist Newton George, who will help you to see several hummingbirds, as well as other colourful species including the blue-backed manakin, collared trogon and blue-crowned motmot.
