Spend your first two nights getting acquainted with the island at the exclusive Mount Hartman Bay. Just like in a Bond movie, you can touch down in your helicopter or approach by yacht to this eight-suite bolthole built into the hillside on its own peninsula. Spend your time here cooling down in the infinity pool overlooking the bay and nature reserve beyond, or charge up the sea scooters and let them drag you along while you take in the underwater sights. Boats are available for charter to take you to the underwater sea sculpture park at Molinere or across to Hog Island for a beach barbeque. If you have a hankering for exploring inland, the hotel can offer excursions to the cocoa plantation, the River Antoine rum distillery, or go tubing down the river with a picnic lunch.<\/p>\n

Then lie back on the daybeds in the Sunset Bar looking out over the Caribbean Sea and sample the Italian influences deliciously evident in the restaurant’s freshly-made pasta, cured prosciutto and marinated olives, specially imported by Laluna’s Calabrian owner, Bernardo Bertolucci.<\/p>\n
