Our opinion
Montpelier Plantation is a luxury boutique plantation house in a hilltop sanctuary with its own private beach.
Hotel description
Montpelier Plantation & Beach is a chic plantation house with a modern twist, offering a historical setting in the mountains as well as a private Caribbean beach. This former sugar plantation is surrounded by exuberant flowering shrubs and features the Great House. The walls of which are adorned with huge pieces of modern art containing a shady drawing room, library and outside dining terrace. Three restaurants serve an enticing combination of Nevisian and European cuisine, using local produce, lobster and fish. A choice of guest rooms are dotted along the hillside. The elegant Plantation Rooms offer a little more luxury than the Premier Rooms and have recently been updated. At the hotel are a good-sized swimming pool, sun terrace and bar where lunches are served. Montpelier has its own beach area on a beautiful stretch of Pinney’s Beach, reached by complimentary shuttle, with six private shady cabanas, a new bar lounge and complimentary snorkels, kayaks and mountain bikes. Re-energise during the day with a swim, cycle or kayak and, as the sun sets, step back in time to a simpler way of life. The Spa at Montpelier embraces the tranquillity of the location where the energy from the mountain helps rejuvenate both mind and body. In recent years, a great deal of updating has made the hotel more contemporary without losing its traditional cosy feel. We have had excellent feedback from clients about these enhancements. Montpelier Plantation is elegant and authentic, yet contemporary and chic.
