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!

"Perfect Place on a Perfect Island"
Hibiscus Cottage is in my opinion the most private on the property it has an amazing view and is very well appointed for your needs. You are surrounded by jaw dropping views, beautiful landscape and architecture. The hosts Martin and Julie are a pleasure so many kind words to say about them. Tropical Hideway is and will always be our only choice for accommodation. Perfect Place on a Perfect Island.

Marvelous view with complete privacy!
The Hibiscus cottage is the best after the penthouse. It is so quaint, with a panoramic view and complete privacy. Everything was well thought, with quality eco-friendly products, an incredible entertainment centre (HD super large flat TV screen) with a huge selection of movies and excellent choice of music). The infinity pool is a dream to float around be it in the morning, for sunset or a late swim with the colorful LED lighting! Julie and Martin, the hosts, were consistently graceful and obliging to any request we had. A must come back place, for sure!

A little piece of paradise
We were looking for relaxation in a beautiful location and boy did we find it. Bequia is a glorious, unspoilt island with palm fringed beaches, turquoise seas and friendly, welcoming people -none more welcoming than Julie and Martin who built Tropical Hideaway as a labour of love over many years and created a development of five excellent self catering units located around the most wonderful infinity pool you are ever likely to see. We stayed in Hibiscus which is located below the pool down a number of steps through the tropical garden filled with flowers and wildlife. The cottage is spacious and very well equipped with everything you need including a sophisticated TV and sound system with a massive range of music and excellent films (we mostly listened to the music but we did find time to watch a couple of good films). We did not need to use the air conditioning and kept sufficiently cool with the large fan. The balcony has stunning views both in the day and at night when the harbour scene beneath the moon and stars was very romantic. The occasional blast of reggae music coming up from the harbour and from the local buses gave sitting on the balcony a truly Caribbean feel. Cooking facilities are basic with two gas rings and a microwave but we found these to be more than adequate as we ate out on most lunchtimes and took advantage of Martin's excellent home cooking available in the well stocked shop by the office which also kept us fully supplied with wine, beers and, of course, Martin's famous rum punch. While we were there Martin and Julie were experimenting with breakfasts and we took advantage of this on most mornings. They were deliciously cooked and served with a smile by Shenila who made us very welcome and also did a great job of our laundry. Don't count on there being breakfast available when you visit as much depends on how successful the experiment is but, if it is still available, it's highly recommended and a very relaxing start to the day without the hassle of washing up. The cottage was kept beautifully clean with regular maid service and change of linen and towels and the gardens were tended almost constantly by the gardener Marlon throughout the stay. We love walking and managed to walk an average of around four miles each day. The walk up (and down) to Tropical Hideaway is extremely steep but there are steps being constructed at the moment which will make the walk easier. Walking on Bequai is the best way to see the island.

Perfect place to slow down and unwind
The property itself almost defies description, it is perched on the top of the hill with a view that is unmatched by any I have ever seen. Hibiscus cottage was built with total privacy in mind and has a large outdoor deck perfectly situated to watch over the harbour. The infinity pool and pool deck with pool bar and day bed are all laid out with the guests in mind and maintained in pristine condition. It is hard to imagine how it could be any better.Martin and Julie are wonderful hosts and have thought of everything. Thank you so much to you both. Murray & Linda

Absolutely Amazing
All we hoped for and more. Martin and Julie have an amazing place, their attention to detail is superb. The grounds are beautiful and the pool area makes it's extremely hard to ever want to leave the Hideaway. We stayed 12 nights in the Hibiscus Cottage and were blown away. The online pictures do the place absolute justice but being there in person is even better. Not one negative thing to point out, it was all we hoped for and truly MORE. We travel quite a bit and this is definitely the best vacation we have had, will be hard to top this place.

Tropical Hideaway Bequia - Still our #1 pick
If any of you are like us who love to travel, you would expect things to get run down at places you frequent often. Well at Tropical Hideaway Bequia you would be wrong. This place continues to amaze us. It clearly is our favorite place to stay in the entire Caribbean. The owners are still as awesome and accommodating. One of the things that we had to do when we were there was to always go to town each day to bring back items for our use whether it be beverages or food. Well that has been solved by our hosts at the Tropical Hideaway. They have put together some much needed items that make it so much nicer for all of their guests. We didn't think this place could get any better, but it has! This is definitely a "MUST VISIT" place. On this trip we actually got to meet some other guests who read our first review and were very thankful for it. They have been back even more often than us. If you have a chance, please try Tropical Hideaway Bequia! You most definitely be pleased. As a guest there several times, we have stayed in the Hibiscus unit. It is farther away from the main pool area and other rooms but the views and peace and quiet are not to be beat! The units have everything you need--nice bathroom and kitchenette and great sleeping accommodations. There is also a TV with a wide range of movies and series to watch as well as WiFi.

An absolute 1st rate destination! Breathtaking!
Our trip to the Island of Bequia was our first Carribean Holiday. The occasion was the marriage of our son. All together, both families totaled 11 people. Tropical Hideaway was our collective 'home' for one week. My wife and I had the thrill of staying in Tropical Hideaway Hibiscus. Everything about Hibiscus and the entire T H complex was very special: gorgeous setting, exceptional accommodations, lush gardens, the breath taking infinity pool, a stunning view of the ocean, and very special warm and gracious hosts, Martin and Julia. Hibiscus Cottage I think offered the best space: a very spacious living area and kitchen, a perfect bath room, a wonderful private deck overlooking the hillsides and ocean complete with stunning humming birds, a fantastic entertainment center... It can't be overstated: the architecture, the design, the attention to detail, the furnishings... totally first rate! Anyone who chooses to stay at Tropical Hideaway will have a thrilling, comfortable and thoroughly delightful experience. The memories we have will last a life time and I'm confident in saying that anyone who chooses to stay at Martin and Julia's Tropical Hideaway will have made a perfect choice!

Amazing hosts, unbeatable views
From the minute we arrived in Bequia on the ferry from St. Vincent we knew our stay on the island would be memorable. Bequia is a beautiful and quaint island with incredible charm, friendly people, and amazing beaches. Our hosts, Julie and Martin, were incredibly hospitable and helpful hosts. Julie was at the ferry terminal to pick us up. Julie gave us a wonderful tour of town and the paths to get around, and the different local businesses to visit. When we got to Tropical Hideaway, Martin immediately welcomed us with the best rum punch on the island while their friendly staff brought our bags to our cottage. Martin and Julie gave us a very thorough tour of the property and all of the amazing amenities. Martin and Julie are very knowledgable about the island and what to do and where to go. Throughout our stay, they were endlessly helpful in recommending things to do around the island and the best ways to get around. We came during the low season and found that many of the popular charters weren't running but we really wanted to go snorkeling in the Tobago Cays. We are particularly grateful that Martin and Julie used their personal contacts to connect us with a guide that could take us to the Tobago Cays. One of the great perks about Tropical Hideaway is the provisioning service that Martin and Julie provide on-site. They stock many basics, fresh fish, wine, beer, and alcohol that can be purchased through them for the same price as the local stores. The best part is grilling your own fresh fish in their stone grill pit while looking out over the bay. Tropical Hideaway is a spectacular property and perfectly located up the hill which allows for amazing views of Admiralty Bay and a cool breeze off the ocean. We instantly fell in love with the pool area which includes breathtaking views over the infinity pool, a shaded gazebo with lounge cushions and the pool bar where we could keep our own drinks. The property is ideally designed for a relaxing and peaceful getaway and every small detail has been thought through. It is a short walk down the hill to the beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shops. Our cottage, the Hibiscus cottage, is completely tucked away from the rest of the property--67 stairs down from the pool area--which gives it amazing privacy. We felt completely secluded yet connected to all the Tropical Hideaway and Bequia had to offer. We were so sad to leave our week in paradise and will absolutely be back again.

One of the great perks about Tropical Hideaway is the provisioning service that Martin and Julie provide on-site. They stock many basics, fresh fish, wine, beer, and alcohol that can be purchased through them for the same price as the local stores. The best part is grilling your own fresh fish in their stone grill pit while looking out over the bay. Tropical Hideaway is a spectacular property and perfectly located up the hill which allows for amazing views of Admiralty Bay and a cool breeze off the ocean. We instantly fell in love with the pool area which includes breathtaking views over the infinity pool, a shaded gazebo with lounge cushions and the pool bar where we could keep our own drinks. The property is ideally designed for a relaxing and peaceful getaway and every small detail has been thought through. It is a short walk down the hill to the beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shops. Our cottage, the Hibiscus cottage, is completely tucked away from the rest of the property--67 stairs down from the pool area--which gives it amazing privacy. We felt completely secluded yet connected to all the Tropical Hideaway and Bequia had to offer. We were so sad to leave our week in paradise and will absolutely be back again.

Amazing Property and an Extraordinary Experience
My wife and I had the good fortune to stay at Tropical Hideaway this past week. It was a milestone birthday as well as a milestone anniversary trip and important that the property we chose to mark the occasion was very special, intimate and allowed for a big exhale from the busyness of life. It turned out to be all that and so much more! After reviewing the many options of where to stay on Bequia, we settled on the Hibiscus Cottage at Tropical Hideaway. We are so very glad we did! Through hard work, vision and attention to detail, Julie and Martin have created a magical place in the Caribbean on an Island that is reminiscent of the Caribbean many years ago. From the moment Julie met us coming off the ferry and Martin greeting us upon arrival at Tropical Hideaway with his infamous and deliciously potent rum punch, their warmth and attentiveness to every little detail during our stay was very appreciated. Whether it was making sure we had hot coals burning on the grill to cook some local lobster, ensuring that our provision requests were in our fridge upon arrival, or available to answer questions, they went above and beyond without ever being intrusive. Martin and Julie’s attention to their guests extended to their support staff as well. Annie, Keisha and Marlon make you feel welcome and relaxed and help keep the beautiful gardens and grounds well tended and the entire place immaculate. The entire Tropical Hideaway property is well thought out and envelops you in absolute comfort and unbelievable views. The beautiful Hibiscus Cottage was very private, provided breathtaking views, was well appointed and felt like our home almost immediately. During our stay we met some great people by the infinity pool and shared many stories, laughs and lifelong memories. At the invite of our new friends and through Martin and Julie between guests, we were also able to tour the other accommodations at Tropical Hideaway. Each lovely accommodation was a unique oasis on to itself, and would make it difficult to decide which one to choose next visit (though we absolutely loved Hibiscus). We have been fortunate over the years to visit many islands and different properties, thinking that life is too short for repeats. Well, Tropical Hideaway has changed our minds in that respect, it is that special. An extraordinary facility owned and managed by extraordinary people. We would highly recommend Tropical Hideaway on that special island that is Bequia.

Our perfect getaway 5 🌟
This property was everything we were looking for. We had the privacy we craved and the accomodations were perfect. This is an Island where you step back in time just far enough to be able to unwind and totally relax. It is quaint, charming and welcoming. The Hibiscus Cottage had glorious views and everything you need in a clean, well appointed cottage. The owners are very special people who do everything they can to make you trip what you want it.

Beautiful property, wonderful stay.
This is a very beautiful property. Very well maintained. Martin and Julie are wonderful hosts. The pool is spectacular and it is a short walk to beautiful beaches. The Hibiscus Cottage is very quiet/clean and the owners have every convenience covered. The island is not crowded and there are many restaurants to choose from. If you want peace & relaxation, this is the perfect property to go to.

Absolutely Amazing!
My husband and I recently stayed in the Hibiscus Cottage at Tropical Hideaway in Bequia. Martin & Julie were phenomenal hosts and the property was absolutely stunning! We loved the Hibiscus Cottage because not only did it have a spectacular view on its spacious porch, it also had a kitchen so we didn't feel that we always had to eat out. Cooking our meals and eating on the porch overlooking the bay was actually one of our favorite things to do! On another note regarding the property, the infinity pool was extraordinary! We enjoyed relaxing in the sunshine quite a bit while we were there. As we were doing a bit of island hopping during our holiday travels, Bequia itself was the highlight of our trip. While this was due greatly to Tropical Hideaway, Bequia was also our favorite island because it is not incredibly built up with tourism. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island, meeting the local people and we felt we truly were able to live "island life". While there were people selling things here and there, no one was pushy at all. It was fun to experience the grocery store (where you buy eggs individually) and really engage with the culture of Bequia as we walked the streets. We found everyone to be helpful along our way. We enjoyed Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay Beach - two different afternoon trips that we took. Jack's beach front restaurant was delicious and right next to the action on Princess Margaret Beach. We also REALLY enjoyed Mac's Pizza - it was fun to order and have them deliver to Tropical Hideaway! The Bamboo Chute had the best bacon in the world - that is NO exaggeration!!! The new walkway from Princess Margaret Beach over to town was really neat and a great way to get from place to place. Overall, Bequia and Tropical Hideaway were the absolute highlight of our trip! If you are even thinking about staying there, THINK NO MORE... it IS the right choice!
