About this property

5* HIBISCUS Cottage* Breathtaking VIEWS- Incredible INFINITY POOL-Amazing ISLAND

Tropical Hideaway is a luxurious boutique style property, offering accommodation in the ‘Tropical Hideaway Villa’, consisting of the fabulous ‘Infinity Studio’ on the lower pool level and an incredible ‘Penthouse Suite’ encompassing the entire top floor. The spacious ‘Pool House’ which is fully equipped, has a second mezzanine bedroom and adjoins directly onto the stunning Infinity Pool and ‘HIBISCUS COTTAGE and Palm Cottage’ which are both very private and enjoy the most amazing views of the Caribbean Sea.

Specializing in couples and small groups, Tropical Hideaway can accommodate from 2 to 12 guests in an informal, private and relaxed atmosphere. All are available to rent either individually or as a collective group and we pride ourselves with our genuine friendly service and the experience we afford our guests.

Set in over 4 acres of pristine natural forest all five accommodations have private veranda’s with jaw dropping views that will literally take your breath away. Vibrant and mature tropical gardens surround each property creating a peaceful and relaxing ambience. All accommodations offer private facilities to the highest of standards and have bedrooms and bathrooms that are spacious and luxuriously appointed. Well laid out kitchens allow you the convenience of preparing your own meals and to dine Alfresco style on your own private veranda.
Located in an elevated hillside position high above the famous Princess Margaret Beach and with an incredible panoramic vista overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Admiralty Bay and the surrounding forested hillsides, the views are absolutely stunning and will not disappoint.

HIBISCUS COTTAGE is the most highly rated property in Bequia and is our most popular accommodation at Tropical Hideaway. Hibiscus offers absolute privacy and such incredible views that quite simply will take your breath away. Some guests on arrival are so overwhelmed they become speechless.
Measuring approximately 8m (26’) wide and with a large covered veranda on the front, this accommodation is the perfect choice for two people wanting the luxury, intimacy, privacy and space that your own cottage provides. It is reached along your own natural stone pathway and down a board walk with steps. The walk is beautiful and takes in the lush tropical gardens of Tropical Hideaway and a hillside garden of mixed fruit trees and colourful Hibiscus plants in a stunning array of colours. Please note that Hibiscus Cottage is situated 67 steps down from the Infinity Pool and pool patio area (we will always help carry your bags). It does however provide absolute privacy and the views are simply stunning. The sunsets here can be breathtaking, the green flashes magical and, if you are lucky enough to be here on a full moon, the shimmering moonlight reflecting on the ocean will take your breath away. It certainly is worth the short one minute walk.
Please note Palm Cottage, which is identical to Hibiscus Cottage, offers alternative accommodation (without the 67 steps) on the same level as the Infinity Pool and has stunning views overlooking Admiralty Bay.
Hibiscus Cottage is a stunning octagonal shaped studio, is spacious, light and airy and furnished to the highest of standards. A queen size bed complete with luxurious mattress is positioned centrally in the room and ample seating, cupboard and storage space is close at hand. Egyptian cotton bed linens, quality latex memory foam and natural feather pillows, luxury bathroom towel sets, pool and beach towels are all supplied as standard. Two cane and rattan armchairs provide a very comfortable seating area and the panoramic views looking through 24' of glass fronted patio doors are absolutely stunning. The large and private veranda has a bistro dining table and chairs, allowing you to dine Al fresco style and enjoy the ambiance of the outside environment. The well laid out kitchen has a sink unit, 2 burner gas hob, fridge, combination microwave oven and grille, toaster, kettle, cafetiere, Moka espresso maker, blender and a comprehensive range of high quality cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. An ice bucket is supplied and complimentary ice is available from the Pool Bar ice maker or the housekeeping staff.

A spacious en-suite toilet and shower room leads from the open plan living area and this has a complimentary range of toiletries, organic shampoos, conditioners and soaps, together with quality bath linens, robes and pool towels.

The latest HD 40” flat screen TV gives access to our in-house entertainment system supplying high definition films, TV, music and Internet radio. The television is positioned to allow viewing from both the comfort of your bed and the sofa seating area. Usb charging points and Wi-Fi is supplied and for those really hot days when the cooling Caribbean wind has taken a rest, you can turn on the air conditioner until the breeze returns. A quality ceiling fan is positioned over the bed. 
All windows are fully screened and the patio doors have sliding insect screens allowing you to have the doors and windows open and still enjoy the ambience of outdoor living without ever getting bitten. We take very seriously our guests health and well being and having a fully screened and mosquito free environment should be an important factor when choosing your holiday accommodation. At Tropical Hideaway you can sleep soundly at night safe in the knowledge that there are no biting insects or mosquito's in your room. 

Tropical Hideaway has an 18m (58’) wide panoramic Infinity Pool and is often quoted as being one of the top ten pools in the Caribbean. The Infinity Pool is a stunning feature of the property and with the environmentally friendly solar heating, the pool can be enjoyed at all times of the year. Typically our daytime pool temperatures are around 33 deg C in summer and 29 deg C in Winter. That’s an amazing 94 deg F falling to a very inviting 84 deg F in winter. The extra 3 degrees C created by our solar heating can make an enormous difference to your enjoyment of the pool. There is a swim up, sunken pool bar, complete with fridge, ice-maker, blender and sink, a preparation and serving area and a generous supply of acrylic beverage glasses. Underwater coral seats are conveniently positioned around the submerged bar and this is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of your own personal wine or indulge in your favourite drink or snack. Adjoining the pool is a Gazebo complete with a large daybed and the views from here are just incredible. A perfect place to relax and read a book or simply enjoy the spectacular scenery. The pool deck is tiled using natural stone coral and provides a safe, non slip and cool surface to walk on. Sun loungers, parasols, sunbathing mats and various chairs provide ample seating and relaxation areas around the pool. The pool and pool deck are West facing and receive the sun for most of the day. A cooling Caribbean breeze is usually present and the Gazebo and large parasols provide areas of shade for the hottest part of the day.

As the evening sun slowly sets and you look out over the Caribbean Sea, you cannot fail to be impressed. Sunsets from here can be amazing with the elusive ’Green Flash’ often being seen. The setting is simply perfect and with underwater pool lights and discreet Led lighting enhancing the evening ambiance, the special moment can continue long after the sun has set.

Over two hundred 5 star reviews on various well known review sites are testament to the attention to detail and location this ‘Tropical Hideaway’ has and reflect our genuine intention that guests arrive as guests and leave as friends.
Tropical Hideaway has without doubt some of the finest rooms on Bequia, and coupled with the spectacular panoramic ocean views and the beautiful evening sunsets, you soon realize you are enjoying, what many say, are the finest views on Bequia, from the finest accommodation on Bequia.

Even better than the pictures
The title says it all. You don't often come by a place on VRBO where the actual place is better than the pictures, but this is one of them. The view is unreal and the host really has thought of everything for guests to get the most out of staying on Bequia. My wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking at staying on the island.

10 days in paradise!
My husband and I spent an amazing 10 days in Hibiscus Cottage at Tropical Hideaway. Tucked away on the hillside below the main house, it is the most private accommodation on the property. Beautifully furnished, with well equipped kitchen, large bathroom and large bedroom/sitting room, all looking out over the deck which has stunning views of the whole of Admiralty Bay. The whole property is quite incredible. From the moment we arrived until the day we left we felt we were in our own private retreat in one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. Martin and Julie (the owners) were away during our visit but we were spoiled by Liz & Greg who were managing the property in their absence, as well as the other wonderful staff. The whole property is incredible and the views are absolutely stunning. The infinity pool is to die for - I can't imagine a pool anywhere else in the Caribbean that has such a view. For most of our visit we were the only couple in it as it was a quieter time of year. The beaches are all within walking distance (but down a very steep hillside - we walked down and got a cab back!). Beautiful clean beach, crystal clear water and very safe. We were sorry not to meet Martin and Julie, but we couldn't have been treated any better than we were, and we hope to return.

Absolute Gem of a property
Stayed in the Hibiscus suite at Tropical Hideaway. You are immediately made to feel welcome as a long lost friend. Martin and Julie think of everything to ensure your stay is bliss. The views of the property are stunning and the views from the property are jaw dropping. I could find no fault with our suite, the grounds and facilities are clean and well maintained. Highly recommended as the property is nicely removed from the din of the port yet reasonably convenient to the various points of interest.

Paradise on Bequia
The property was exactly as described in the listing. The view from Hibiscus Cottage was truly breathtaking and the location was very private, something we strongly preferred. Location of the hotel was very central if you're driving or taking taxis to town or around the island. It is a bit of a walk to the main street. Property was extremely well maintained and clean. There were several breakfast options, the ones we chose were tasty and well made (we recommend the avocado toast and yogurt with mango). The store on premise is very useful and convenient and the prices are the same as other stores in town. Also, the abundance of movies you have access to watch in the room is like nowhere I've ever stayed. Martin and Julie were amazing and as helpful as one could ask for (e.g. for recommendations and reservations). I would highly recommend this property to couples or even someone just looking to get away and relax. We enjoyed eating lunch at Jack's beach bar and loved lunch at Firefly after taking their lovely plantation tour. Dinner at Old Fort was one of our favorites. We also did two separate wonderful day trips with Captain Wayne Gooding of Mako Tours to Mustique and then Tobago Cays. For the animal lovers out there, we'd highly recommend a visit to the island's turtle santuary.

Absolutely Stunning and Amazing!
We thought the pictures were too good to be true but alas were we in for a surprise. We went here for our honeymoon and had the absolute most amazing time ever! From the luxurious and comfortable rooms with high end amenities and utilities, to the friendly staff all around who provided amazing food on a daily basis, to the hosts themselves, Martin and Julie, who ensure that from day 1 we felt welcomed, appreciated and right at home. We would definitely recommend this location to anyone...oh and how can we forget...the Infinity Pool will blow you away!

About the host

Hosted by Martin & Julie Mansfield

Host profile image
We originally arrived in the Caribbean in 1996 after making a 3 week transatlantic crossing aboard our sailing yacht 'Rainbow Spirit'. This was the beginning of another adventure and after sailing and exploring the Caribbean Islands for 2 years we eventually bought a 2 acre plot of land on the island of Bequia. Having already committed to a world circumnavigation, we set sail again in 1998, went through the Panama Canal and spent the next three years travelling around the world with our three daughters. Although we visited hundreds of white sand, sun-drenched tropical islands, we found none of them compared to the special beauty and charm of Bequia. We returned in 2001 and finally made a start on building our 'Tropical Hideaway'.

Building in the Caribbean was never going to be easy and after the frustrations of 2 years turning into 3 years and 3 years turning into 4 years we finally finished construction in 2011. Eight years of full time building and a cost overrun of around 300%. The project was huge, far bigger than we ever imagined, but our hard work, frustrations, pain and suffering eventually paid off and we now have a remarkable property often quoted as having 'the finest views on Bequia, from the finest accommodation on Bequia'.

Our daughters have now left to start their own lives and adventures, returning when time and funds allow. Our eldest daughter is now married and lives in New Zealand. Our middle daughter started the first Spa's and treatment centres on Bequia and is now employed by the rich and famous from all over the world. Our youngest daughter is currently working at a safari lodge in a remote part of Zambia and returns to Tropical Hideaway occasionally for the December to April season where she offers her spa treatments and therapy work. As you can see, our wanderlust lifestyle has left a lasting impression on our daughters and they are all enjoying an adventurous and exciting life as we have done.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful Bequia (pronounced bek way) is an undiscovered paradise, the Caribbean of 20 years ago. Covering an area of only 7 square miles, Bequia lies in the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. It is just a short plane hop from the ever popular Barbados and next to the renowned Mustique, both favourite islands of the rich and famous. It is the largest of the Grenadine Islands known also as the ‘jewels of the Caribbean’ and is blessed with several pristine, white sandy beaches many of which are totally natural and undeveloped.
If you want resort hotels, nightclubs and beaches full of sunbeds, don't come to Bequia. If you want to discover the undiscovered, visit our beautiful Island, enjoy the uncrowded pristine white sandy beaches, swim and snorkel in our safe and warm Caribbean waters and experience the genuine friendliness of the local Bequian people.
Bequia is an all year round destination with daytime temperatures consistently averaging between 24C (75F) and 30C (86F) throughout the year. A "chilly" evening in the winter months (January to March) might see a low of around 22C (72F) and in the summer months the temperature will occasionally reach 32C (90F). Trade winds bring cooling breezes for most of the year and the famous 'Christmas Winds' bring stronger breezes and livelier seas, perfect for the keen sailor.
Bequia truly is a unique Island. Large enough to be interesting and exciting, yet small enough to retain its local charm and uniqueness that only a small 'off the beaten track' Caribbean Island can offer. It truly is an undiscovered paradise that some well known travel journalists are only just discovering and several well known newspapers and magazines have recently published articles and all describe Bequia as an undiscovered paradise, about to be discovered.
What more can I say ............. Come see for yourselves!
