Bequia is the home of the newest glamping resort in the Caribbean, Wild Lotus.

Coming in May, there will be a completely different way to experience the island of Bequia: an authentic glamping resort. 

Wild Lotus Glamping, which had been for years on Valley Church Beach, is now coming to the Grenadines, with a beachfront clamping experience with luxury tents — some of which have their own wood-fired hot tubs. 

The tents have all of the comforts you’re looking for: Wi-Fi, private eco bathrooms, barbecues, coffee makers and even touches like outdoor showers and CBD toiletries.

The resort will be set right on the beach.

They’re all solar powered, too.

The eco-resort also has a strong wellness component: a slate of massages and spa treatments, beach yoga and even thalassotherapy.

As the company describes it, it’s an experience that provides “the comforts of a hotel with the freedom and connection to nature that camping provides.”

Wild Lotus will start taking bookings on March 1, Caribbean Journal has learned.
