The resort has 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, including beach, pool and lawn venues, for weddings and celebrations.

The resort also has 151 guestrooms and suites, including deluxe and superior rooms with mountain or ocean views, as well as two-bedroom duplexes and villas. Inspired by the island’s natural beauty, each room is designed in palette of coastal colors, detailed wood accents and natural lighting.

The 4,585-square-foot Presidential Villa has ocean views, butler service, a private lobby entrance, two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a dining room, a private spa room with sauna and a terrace for outdoor dining, complete with a grill and private pool. A private chef is also available upon request.

Additionally, guests can relax at the 18,000-square-foot Kempinski Spa. Guests may select from indoor and outdoor wellness experiences or choose a culturally inspired treatment from the spa’s menu.

Restaurants and Bars 

The resort’s three restaurants offer both local and international cuisine, as well as “farm-to-table” and “sea-to-table” dining. 

The resort’s signature restaurant, Cabrits Market, provides an ambiance of vibrant colors and flavors meant to be indicative of a Creole market. The buffet stations include a variety of international fare, Italian, barbeque, as well as Creole-themed dinner and brunch. 

The Kweyol Beach Café offers a mix of Creole dishes, international favorites and home-made ice cream flavors, such as coconut.

Bonsai serves Pan-Asian cuisine as an alternative to the resort’s main restaurant and beach bar. Bonsai offers sushi, sashimi, satays, Thai curries, wok-sautéed dishes and more.

With both indoor and outdoor seating, the Rumfire Bar serves as the place to end the day. The bar’s mixologist prepares both classic cocktails and original creations utilizing local Caribbean rums and dark spirits.
