Company info

We, Uta Lawaetz and daughters Verena and Anitanja are as passionate about preserving the unique heritage, natural landscape and authentic charm of the property as we are about sharing our home with you and helping you make the most of your time on the island. Honeymooners, couples, families, singles, artists, writers, photographers and digital nomads of all ages have become regulars. It might be due to Uta Lawaetz's captivating life stories, or maybe the peacefulness of the grounds with an 18th-century sugar mill, surrounded by ancient trees and tropical vegetation on 70 acres. Or the love of our happy dogs and cats which many of our guests “adopt” during their stay. It might be a result of those delicious home-cooked meals and plantation-style buffets where lifelong friendships begin.

All our eco-friendly cottages (Waterlily, Banyan, Almond, Frangipani, Calabash and Moringa) are built without screens and cooled by the tropical breeze.
