Firefly Hotel Bequia is a small hotel on the Caribbean island of Bequia, part of the country called St. Vincent and the Grenadines, in the Windward Islands just 8 rooms on a 225 year old, almost 30 acre working plantation.

Firefly Hotel Bequia is a unique property that will be appreciated by those looking for relaxing, unplanned hours in a secluded corner of the world. The beauties of nature are emphasized, and we offer tranquillity along with excellent food and friendly staff.

The hotel is built on the side of a hill to catch the cooling trade winds, and looks out over acres of coconut palms and Bequia's only banana plantation set in the hotel's plantation, to Spring Bay and the sea beyond. Take a stroll through the coconut grove to the secluded white sand beach on Spring Bay. If you prefer to swim in freshwater, we have a pool. We also have a tennis court.

Bequia is of volcanic origin, as are all of the Grenadines. Only six square miles, its hills run from an elevation of over 800 feet down to fertile valleys at sea level. Although not a tropical rain forest, its foliage grows lushly most of the year.

Yachts from all over the world come to Admiralty Bay, considered one of the safest harbours in the Grenadines. Port Elizabeth is the main town, located at the harbour, with a main street which extends several blocks. You will find a variety of shops, banks, grocery stores, bars and restaurants.

Bequia is a charming, small, old fashioned Caribbean island. Many Caribbean nationals come to Bequia to regain a sense of the Caribbean as it used to be. Having said that, it is also an island with a variety of restaurants, several dive shops, and a healthy foreign community. You can buy baguettes, pizza and hamburgers, but you can also buy roti, callaloo, and goat. There are no high-rises, no golf courses, no chrome or glitter. They still build boats by hand, and tend to gardens. There are a number of great beaches, "jump ups" (dances), snorkelling, and great hiking. Day trips to other islands on our 50 foot luxury cruiser (FlyBYNight) or our fast 30ft speed boat, are easily arranged.

Coming to Bequia is more like an adventure than just a vacation. It is the island one dreams of finding, with its lovely beaches, rolling hills, beautiful flowers, and friendly people. The weather is great, averaging in the 80's all year.

“The undisturbed beaches, rugged mountain terrain, lush forests, and blue sailing waters draw in tourists who visit St. Vincent. Bequia, Petit, and Young islands are among the more popular spots for millionaires and others looking for a unique hideaway. Bequia has the most tranquil beaches while Petit is known for its private resort and cottages.” (Forbes FYI, 2003).

Hi,
We had a great time with you both on Mustique & Bequia and look forward to next time already! Thank you to you & to all the staff for looking after us so well. We will get a photo of the Martini club T-shirts to you somewhere in London.

Dear Elizabeth,
Carol and I want to thank you for making our time at the Firefly Bequia thoroughly enjoyable and most relaxing. You have really ensured that the whole experience was very special. The comfortable and well designed rooms, the delicious food, the excellent service and most of all an atmosphere which feels more like a house party than a hotel. It was furthermore very attentive of you to arrange a last minute transfer by powerboat to Mustique, where we caught the plane without any problem and allowed us to arrive back in Boston that same evening. Be it in the freezing cold, but we shall not hold you responsible for that!.

Dear Stan,
I want to thank you so much for an incredible stay at Firefly Bequia. Everything was perfect, from the food to the awesome staff. One of the highlights of our trip was a tour with Keith through the plantation. It is certainly a must for your guests. We look forward to returning to one of your properties in the near future.

I also wanted to let you know how amazing Simon was through our visit. You could not ask for a more competent and thoughtful manager.

"Judy and I really loved our stay as the first guests at the Bequia (Firefly) Hotel from 5 to 12 March. It really was "an experience" second to none and we were very well looked after by Simon and all the staff. Judy particularly wanted to thank Seon "Cookie" for catering for her non dairy dietary needs so carefully and deliciously. The hotel is in such a beautiful setting, I can understand why you had to buy it." Swanage UK, March 2007
