Miscellaneous
Overview
Set on the slopes of Mount Nevis on a teeny-tiny island, Golden Rock Inn is a hilltop hideaway nestled into the jungle, which overlooks the Caribbean Sea. A cluster of brightly painted cottages and former sugar mills have been transformed by appropriately named landscape architect Raymond Jungles and filled with souvenirs from the artist-owners’ Helen and Brice Marden's globetrotting. The meandering paths connecting the cottages are roamed by friendly feral donkeys, who share their vermilion- and indigo-painted home with wilder critters and the Inn’s handful of lucky guests.
Highlights:
Low-tech living
Unspoilt island style
Natural beauty
Smith extra
A glass of the inn’s famous rum punch on arrival, plus afternoon tea with shortbread and one glass of prosecco each
In the know
Also need to know:
Wheelchair access is limited due to the hotel’s hilly location and the steps, rocky paths and cobbles throughout the grounds.All payments include a 10 per cent service charge. The hotel has several hiking trails nearby, including the Source hiking route which heads up Mount Nevis to a natural spring; the chance to spot wild monkeys alone makes it worth packing your walking shoes.
Packing tips:
Bring your driving licence. Nevis is easy to explore and hire cars are cheap and readily available (keep to the left).
Dress code:
Blend in with brights or stand out in gauzy white linen; the restaurant is as colourful as the rest of the hotel.

Dining information
Restaurant:
The Rocks is renowned across the island for its modern take on Caribbean cuisine. Designed by architect Ed Tuttle (the man behind Aman hotels’ much-loved minimalism), the indoor-outdoor eatery overlooks the gardens and reflecting pools, which sparkle in the sun by day, and are lit with hundreds of oil lamps by night. Chef Ricky Finch’s contemporary Caribbean comfort food focuses on seafood, such as the hotel’s famous lobster sandwich, coconut-curried shrimps or grilled mahi-mahi with orange and clove. Fish-phobes can try spicy savouries like jerk pork with corn fritters and sizzling chicken roti, accompanied by an impressive selection of wines by the bottle.
Top Table:
All meals are served alfresco on dining decks overlooking the sea, but the hotel also has secluded supper spots around the grounds, such as inside the pavilion.
Last Orders:
A la carte breakfast is served 8am–10.30am and lunch is a leisurely 11.30am–3pm. Night owls will need to adjust their timings accordingly as dinner is served 6pm–9pm. The bar opens at 10am and closes at the end of dinner service.
Hotel Bar:
The cool, cave-like setting of the hotel’s bar is ideal for escaping the sun and sampling a glass of fiery, house-rum-laced punch, ubiquitous across the island. Pull up a spindly-legged stool in the vaulted former sugar mill and try the potent signature cocktail, the Mount St Helena (Absolut vodka, jalapeño, fresh rosemary, lime and cranberry juice).
