Frangipani Guest House

For those who have enjoyed Frangipani Glamping or for people who like more space, this is the new two-bedroom guest house on the same beautiful Atlantic beach. It’s fully solar powered, with two large en-suite bedrooms, a kitchen diner and a small gallery with great views of the north-east Barbudan coastline, spanning Two Foot Bay to Fishing Creek. It’s on the wilder side of the island, which is breezy and the sea beyond the reef is often rough with exciting, noisy waves, but inside the reef where you can swim in calmer water the natural world is right there: you will be swimming among diving pelicans and other sea birds, and snorkelling with ocean creatures such as rays. It’s incredibly beautiful and you will mostly have this long, natural beach all to yourselves, except for a local fisherman, a hunter or a wild donkey.

You can try sustainable living – teaching your children to catch fish and make camps, watching the bird and sea life, snorkelling for fresh lobster for supper, beachcombing, going out in the canoe, reading for hours, cooking on an open fire or barbecue… or just drink rum and stare at the satellites and stars, or the moon rising in an undisturbed night sky. You might want to share a Tommy Hill happy hour with like-minded glampers if there are guests in the Cabana which shares the property, but there is enough space to be completely independent of each other. Frangipani is an amazing location and you will be immersed in nature but living in comfort – an experience unlike anything else on Barbuda.
