The “contemporary, five-star luxury resort” will be set in the southeast of Statia near the island’ signature “Quill,” the dormant volcano that’s one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after hiking spots.

The Golden Rock will feature 32 suites, with amenities including a restaurant called Breeze; a spa, a pool, a gym and Wi-Fi across the property.

The introduction of the hip, crisply-designed resort is a significant boost for the island, which has long had a relatively tiny hotel stock focused around the charming Old Gin House boutique hotel. 

Statia is a 20-minute flight from St Maarten’s Princess Juliana International Airport.
