Facilities

Nature is a huge part of Castara’s appeal and the hotel is set in two acres of tropical gardens which offer excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife watching. The beach is just a few minutes’ walk away down a winding footpath and is a great spot for swimming, sunbathing or just getting to know the friendly locals. Castara Bay has a wonderful reef, teeming with life and colour, and the snorkelling here is particularly enjoyable. Castara Retreat’s Wellness Studio runs daily yoga classes, which can be booked on arrival, whilst 1:1 yoga sessions and a range of massage treatments are available on request. For those wanting to get out and about to explore the island, a wide variety of activities can be recommended, such as rainforest walks, birdwatching, diving, snorkelling, bioluminescence paddling boarding, island tours and boat trips.

Important Information

The accommodation at Castara is located on a hillside and is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties. There is a small fee, payable locally, for the rental of sun loungers on the beach. There is a cash machine in Castara and credit cards are accepted at the hotel, but guests are advised to travel with sufficient cash for the duration of their stay.

"If you’re seeking an authentic Caribbean experience, you needn’t look further than Castara Retreats - supporting the local community is an important part of the hotel ethos and guests are encouraged to visit the bars and restaurants in the village and get to know the friendly locals."

"Castara Retreats provides a tranquil refuge for both humans and wildlife - the surrounding area is home to more than 200 species of birds, including boobies, frigate birds and osprey."

"Each of Castara’s apartments and lodges has a unique appeal, but we particularly like the one-bedroom Beachscape - it’s one of the closest to the beach and has fantastic views of Castara Bay from its private terrace."

"Be sure to watch the local fishermen haul their daily catch onto the beach, whilst stingrays gather in the shallow clear waters to catch any fish that get away."

Six Senses Zighy Bay

Oman

Six Senses Zighy Bay is actually closer to Dubai than Muscat and so offers a great twin centre option, with the bustling city life and shopping of Dubai a complete contrast to the secluded retreat feel of Zighy Bay

We love the Beachfront Pool Villas for their uninterrupted sea views and direct access to the golden sands

Food here is a serious affair. Have dinner at Sense on the Edge, located high in the mountains, for a meal to remember with breathtaking views, and afterwards relax with a cocktail under the stars

Stay longer and be rewarded with complimentary return transfers (min. 6 nights’ stay), early bird 10% accommodation savings, plus children stay and eat free over the summer months; ask us for further details
