Perched on a verdant hillside overlooking Orient Bay yet still within walking distance of the beautiful beach, Esmeralda Resort has as many swimming pools as it does villas 18. Originally conceived as a site for a single private home, the resort evolved into a private club for discerning homeowners before blossoming into the full-scale resort that it is today.

All the rooms overlook a shaded terrace, surrounded by island vegetation and flowers with their beautiful brilliant colours. Rooms offer king or two double beds, private, furnished terrace, kitchenette and bath or shower.

Superior rooms have garden view and are located further from the beach.

Deluxe rooms are located nearer the beach or may have partial ocean views. Oceanfront rooms are located nearest the beach.
