Retreats Lodges,
Castara

The
Castara Retreats Lodges consist of three stunning accommodations
beautifully self contained units, with
the rainforest as a backdrop, and extensive views of the ocean
towards Castara Bay and down the coast to the West.
Fisherman’s
was originally a fisherman’s shack, now lovingly renovated and
extended within a romantic Caribbean structure, with one bedroom,
living room , and a
large covered deck area with spectacular views of the bay.
Two haiku style wooden lodges have recently been completed
which enjoy unparalleled views and the sights and sounds of the
ocean, rainforest and village.
Coasthanger has one bedroom, Birdsong has two.
The total floor space is 800 sq ft in the one bedroom lodges
and 1000 sq ft in the two bedroom lodge.
All
three lodges are built from local hardwood from sustainable sources,
and are designed to create open, spacious living spaces with
shutters to create more privacy when needed.
They have polished hardwood floors inside, wicker furniture,
discrete lighting and queen sized beds with white bed linen and
frame mosquito net. The owners have paid attention to detail,
providing a roomy hammock in each, well equipped kitchens, floor
ventilator fans and hair dryers.
The emphasis is on simplicity but high quality, and to be in
harmony with the landscape and culture of the island.
All have spacious areas on which to enjoy bird watching, the
sunsets, fire flies and stars at night.
Outside
is an acre of gardens with terraces and shady areas from which to
watch birds, the landscape, and the daily rhythms of village life.
Mango trees fringe the gardens with banana and bamboo below,
and citrus, plantain and papaya above.
Flowering shrubs and trees attract humming birds constantly.
The
basic principle is looking after yourselves in self catering
accommodation with very good local back up and support, but free
from the constraints and protocols of hotels.

and £185 for Birdsong.
