Fodor's Expert Review Surfsong Villa Resort

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Nested in lush foliage right at the water's edge, this small resort on Beef Island provides a pleasant respite for vacationers who want a villa atmosphere with some hotel amenities. The hotel has a chef who whips up meals for an extra charge, but a studio villa with minimal kitchen facilities is tucked up in the trees. The one- and two-bedroom villas are right at the water's edge, and it takes about a minute to walk to Well Bay beach from the complex. Wood furniture and attractive tile floors provide a comfortable ambience and the public spaces are equally cozy, with pergolas providing shade. Services such as massage as well as yoga and Pilates classes are available.
