The Beach at Maca Bana

"Clustered on a 2-acre hillside overlooking mile-long Magazine Beach, each of Maca Bana's seven private villas ("banas") has a great view—of the white sand below, out to sea, up the coastline to pretty St"

"Down on the beach, the property’s Aquarium restaurant is clearly one of the island’s best"

"Down a steep hill, there is a spacious beachfront restaurant and bar, as well as a quiet, tranquil beach"

"The resort boasts eco-initiatives that range from solar-powered villas to a 15-acre chunk of rain forest where nutmeg, breadfruit and avocado are grown organically for use at Maca Bana’s Aquarium Restaurant — a beachside gathering spot where I mingled with friendly locals over island-brewed Carib beer"

"The set-up offers luxury self-catering along with hotel-style services, including meals down at Aquarium, Maca Bana's sister beachfront restaurant"
