A Caribbean Home from Home
Situated along the Belmont Walkway overlooking Bequia's harbour The Frangipani Hotel was originally built as a large private residence on the island. Built by a local sea captain in 1898 as a family home this familiar landmark in Belmont is a 2 storey shingle-sided building that sits gracefully overlooking the harbour activity that hasn't altered in over a century. Over the last 40 years the Frangipani has been run as a hotel. Named after the common name for Plumeria, an exotic highly perfumed plant The Frangipani is established on Bequia as one of the oldest and most welcoming hotels on the island.

The Island of Bequia
Bequia, which means the Island of Clouds, is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt of the 60 islands that Makeup the 68 mile long archipelago of the St. Vincent & Grenadine Islands. Jimmy Buffett Lists Bequia as one of his top 5 least spoilt of the Caribbean Islands. Due to the remote position of the islands and their dependence upon inter-island trade the locals who are proud of their boat building and fishing traditions are eager to share their knowledge and welcome visitors to the island.
