Fantastic for families of all ages, Half Century House is entered via a grand porte-cochère large enough for carriages. Just off its welcoming foyer, you’ll find a modern and well-equipped kitchen and a sunken lounge which opens out to the large terrace and pool deck. The gentle palette and coral-stone surfaces conspire to create a very Caribbean sense of calm, and that continues in the three bedrooms upstairs, including a master suite whose balcony has sensational sea views, and another chamber with twin beds.

Three more suites – two with bathtubs and twin beds – are found in a self-contained cottage, perfect for grandparents or teenagers desiring privacy. That cottage borders the pool deck and its loungers, as does the Grecian-inspired pool itself, the large gazebo for al fresco meals, the barbecue grill and the various covered verandas ripe for snoozing. Steps lead down to a tropical garden and its playground for small guests.

As part of the Sugar Hill Estate, you benefit from 24-hour security and enjoy exclusive access to floodlit tennis courts, a communal pool and a gym, as well as to the world-class Royal Westmoreland championship golf course. After indulging in these or visiting the wonderful West Coast beaches, return for delicious dinners prepared by your chef – part of a devoted on-site staff team who’ll take care of every humdrum chore as you relax.
