Courtesy of Rockhouse/Design Hotels "Everything about this place is magical," said one traveler in Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards survey. Others agreed. "It is spectacular," raved another reader. "I've never stayed anymore more beautiful." Courtesy of Rockhouse/Design Hotels While Rockhouse has garden villas, studios, and standard rooms in a traditional hotel-style block, travelers will want to book one of the 34 thatched-roof bungalows. These individual villas — the so-called "rock houses" — are built straight onto rocky outcroppings on a turquoise-blue cove. Courtesy of Rockhouse/Design Hotels They have private patios or sundecks, and a few have ladders that lead straight into the sea. Some are specifically designed to maximize their sunset views. Courtesy of Rockhouse/Design Hotels In 2015, Rockhouse debuted an open air, cliff-top spa pavilion, where guests can enjoy signature bath rituals with a tea ceremony while watching the Caribbean. Opt for a restorative, anti-inflammatory aromatherapy blend with spices or a detoxifying island mint treatment. In the popular winter season, rooms at the property start at $180 a night, and the rock houses $495 a night. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
