South Beach Hotel by Ocean Hotels 

A laid-back boutique that puts the emphasis on local exploration

This small boutique hotel is simple yet chic, and ideally located just steps from the fine white sands of Rockley Beach.

This wonderfully central hotel emulates the chic laid-back cool of Miami’s South Beach, with its Art Deco-style lobby and stylish pool area, complete with plush loungers. After you’ve been welcomed with a rum punch, you’ll be itching to sink your toes into the sand or explore the local shops and bars. Lively St Lawrence Gap is just a 20-minute walk away and you can hop in a cab to Bridgetown. Cross over the road to reach one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, where guests can enjoy complimentary beach service with sun loungers, or sip cocktails and keep cool with complimentary ice lollies by the pool, which runs along the length of the property. With just one restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, the emphasis is on getting out and about here, and with watersports, diving, island tours and golf all on the doorstep, you won’t be short-changed for things to do.

Why we love South Beach Hotel by Ocean Hotels

  • The hotel is intimate and low-key, with just 49 suites and accommodation to suit couples as well as families.

  • It’s in an excellent location with an emphasis on exploring the local area (the concierge can arrange island tours, golf, diving and more). Oistins Bay, St Lawrence Gap and Bridgetown are all close by, while Harrison’s Cove and other attractions are easily reachable too.

  • It’s just across the road from Rockley Beach, where the South Coast Boardwalk offers scenic walks edged with landscaped gardens and pretty viewpoints
