The St Kitts resort development will reveal some new luxury accommodations and new dining experiences, among other changes.

New this season is the four-bedroom Farmhouse, designed specifically as a space to share food and wine with family and friends.

The Farmhouse features a large gourmet kitchen a comes equipped with a personal chef who can create an in-home farm-to-table dinner for guests, or lead a cooking class, the property said.

The new Patio Garden, a casual outdoor venue, will offer fresh and organic “comfort food” in the farm-to-table style of Executive Chef Cristophe Letard.

Another new dining experience, Coco House, will feature elegant, 12-course tasting menus, with Kittitian elders sharing traditional folklore to dining guests between each dish.

Belle Mont Farm also offers its own interpretation of in-room dining, Rolling Mango, a gourmet mobile kitchen that brings a team of local chefs to prepare fresh meals at Guesthouse doorsteps, as well as communal long table dining experience, The Farm.

The new Mango Walk Wellness Center will also offer a variety of new private wellness experiences, ranging from custom body scrubs and therapeutic oils from locally sourced herbs, to al fresco morning yoga sessions on Guesthouse verandas.
