A Landmark Boutique Hotel with Exceptional Upside

Set within 12.4 acres of established tropical grounds in Bequia’s most sought-after residential valley, the Firefly Boutique Hotel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational hotel estate with scale, privacy, and meaningful development potential. Offered as a turnkey hospitality business or as the foundation for a remarkable private villa estate, Firefly combines timeless Caribbean character with flexible future options.

Prime Setting in Spring Estate

Spring is widely regarded as Bequia’s premier residential enclave—peaceful, secure, and beautifully positioned near the sea. The estate enjoys direct access from the main road, proximity to Spring Bay’s sandy beach, and a tranquil valley setting surrounded by high-quality private villas.

• 5 minutes to Port Elizabeth
• Easy access to Bequia Airport and island amenities
• Calm, private environment ideal for retreats or luxury living

Guest Accommodation

The hotel currently operates with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, arranged across several buildings to ensure privacy and comfort.

Hotel Guest Rooms

• Four newly renovated, air-conditioned guest rooms
• En-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and private terraces or balconies
• Ocean and estate views, Wi-Fi, and refined colonial styling
• Independent water catchment and generous storage capacity

Estate Cottage

• Master suite with en-suite bathroom and private balcony
• Additional guest bedroom with separate bathroom
• Open-plan kitchen, dining, and living spaces
• Expansive veranda with direct access to gardens and pool

Staff & Manager Accommodation

• Separate, modern staff cottage (completed 2021)
• Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, private kitchen
• Potential for conversion into guest suites or treatment rooms

Lifestyle & Guest Facilities

At the heart of the estate lies a collection of amenities designed for relaxed, nature-focused hospitality:

• Large freshwater swimming pool with stone sun terrace and shaded gazebos
• Open-air restaurant, bar, and guest lounge with commercial kitchen
• Yoga studio and massage / treatment suites
• Cross-country golf course and croquet lawn
• Horse paddock, nature trails, and guided estate tours
• Extensive fruit orchards, coconut groves, and bee hives
• Sandy Spring Bay beach within a short walk

Estate Infrastructure

The property is exceptionally well equipped for hotel or private use:

• Electricity, cable, and high-speed Wi-Fi
• Excellent road access throughout the estate
• Freshwater well plus extensive rainwater catchment
• Large, cool concrete water storage tanks
• Solar water heaters
• Dedicated laundry building with gravity-fed systems
• Multiple secure storage rooms, wine cellar, and service buildings
• Air-conditioned offices and back-of-house facilities

Development & Expansion Potential

Firefly previously held planning approval to expand to up to 30 bedrooms and to introduce additional villas within the estate. While that approval has lapsed, there are no restrictive covenants, and it is widely understood that permissions could be readily reinstated.

The estate lends itself naturally to:

• A larger boutique or eco-resort
• A wellness or yoga retreat destination
• Luxury managed rental villas
• A singular private Caribbean family compound

Optional Beachfront Expansion

An additional 13 acres of level beachfront land with approximately 800 ft of golden sand frontage at Spring Bay is available by separate negotiation, offering a compelling opportunity to create a combined hillside-to-sea estate (see separate Spring Beachfront Estate listing.)

Turnkey Hotel Business

The sale includes not only the real estate but the operating hotel business, with trained staff, established systems, website, and a valuable international client database, including links to Firefly’s sister property on Mustique. Existing management contracts and eco-tour activities further enhance revenue potential.

Central Island Connectivity

• Bequia Airport with connections via Barbados and Saint Lucia
• Ferry service to mainland Saint Vincent (35 min with fast ferry)
• Direct boat access to Mustique (9 miles) and Canouan (22 miles)
• Close to beaches, sailing, diving, and Bequia’s Turtle Sanctuary

A Rare Grenadines Offering

Firefly Boutique Hotel is one of Bequia’s most complete hospitality estates—established, operational, beautifully located, and full of future promise. Whether retained as a successful boutique hotel or reimagined as a private island retreat, this is a standout acquisition in the Grenadines.
