Wellbeing

Living on a small island in Paradise, we have an abundance of natural resources available for our wellbeing. There are 3,000 miles of ocean between the continent of Africa, which is where our prevailing winds originate, and Bequia so our air is pure and unpolluted. The water in our tanks comes from rainwater which is filtered and is not polluted with fluoride or chlorine and it tastes great!

Fresh salads, fruit and vegetables are grown in St Vincent and arrive on the morning ferry to fill the various market stalls. Fresh juice is poured straight from the young green cocnut, coconut oil for cooking is readily available and both are very healthy for you.

Most Bequia restaurants offer ‘fish of the day’ which is caught and cooked fresh — you can’t get better than this. If you are in the harbour at the right time you may see the fishermen come in with their catch which they sell and fillet for you. Everything is freshly cooked — you will be hard to find any processed food here.

Most locals walk everywhere, keeping them fit. There are lots of walks on the island suitable for everyone’s capabilities from a gentle stroll to a good hike. If you are into jogging, the road from Spring to Park Bay is a short ride away and an ideal area with a fairly flat road. The Mount Pleasant loop has more inclines but is very do-able. No need for a treadmill here!

Of course, to do any the above, you will need to leave the seductive Infinity Pool at Tropical Hideaway first!

If you want to slow things down to a more relaxed ‘pace’ many of our guests enjoy yoga which is available on the island from beginners to advanced and to suit all ages (see below). For a small island, there are also several massage (and beauty) therapists available (see below).
