2 Best Hotels in St. Eustatius

This luxe, eco-friendly resort is a nature-lover's paradise, where sleek, contemporary rooms, suites, and villas have spacious balconies and/or gardens with views of the greenery, pools, and ocean. Backed by the Quill, the sprawling 40-acre property features over 140,000 species of plants, flowers, and trees, all of which attract birds, insects, and other creatures. It also has its own PADI dive center and offers ScubaPro rental gear. The on-site Breeze and Bobbie's Beach Club are two of Statia's best restaurants.

Located north of the Quill near the entrance to the botanical garden, this boutique hotel also has stunning rental villas. The property is a good 15-minute drive from the airport and historic Oranjestad along a rocky track, but the water views and natural serenity make the trek worth it—especially if you really want to \"get away.\" The on-site Whale Tails Restaurant serves dinner Wednesday through Sunday and lunch on weekends; upstairs, the multilevel, Spanish-motif Cuba Café serves tapas, light meals, and cocktails with a view.
