A luxury high end Beach House Finds, resort where the view has no fourth wall with a breath taking views of the twin peaks of the Pitons. Oprah Winfrey declared the Pitons one of the top five sites to see before you die.
To get there you must arrange Travel to Hewanorra International Airport (American Airlines and Delta currently fly here) which is about an hour’s drive from most hotels. Many resorts will arrange a car service, or a helicopter transfer ($170 per person) one way to avoid the hairpin roads.
