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.

"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."
