Castara Retreats Eco Resort TOBAGO, CARIBBEAN
Nestled on a hillside and surrounded by lush rainforest, these family-run eco-lodges overlook picturesque sandy beaches and the quiet fishing village of Castara. With strong ties to the local community, guests will quickly find themselves immersed in Caribbean village life. The warm, personalised service, strong focus on sustainability and back-to-nature experience create a truly authentic Caribbean stay in an unspoilt tropical paradise. Balancing the services of a hotel with the
freedoms of self-catering, Castara Retreats offers a subtle kind of luxury that exudes creativity and style. The 17 wooden, treehouse-style lodges are individually designed and feature either one or two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a terrace with views of the idyllic natural surroundings and sparkling Caribbean sea. Daily yoga sessions are available in the open-air Wellness Studio, along with a variety of relaxing and rejuvenating massages. An extraordinary amount of care and attention has been taken to create a truly unique hideaway.
The restaurant serves inventive Caribbean
cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients — the menu features fish fresh from the bay and passionfruit cheesecake made with fruit from the garden. The bar offers a range of premium local rums, which feature in the cocktails along with local organic fruits. Castara’s golden beach is a five-minute walk
away. Here, you can swim in the azure Caribbean and snorkel along the coral reef, before heading to a local bar at sunset. You’ll see pirogue fishing boats entering the bay loaded with the daily catch, and the Seine fishermen who pull their nets onto the beach as part of an authentic, daily spectacle that everyone can be a part of. Castara Retreats has become an exemplar
for sustainable tourism in Tobago and has an approach that encourages guests to engage with the local community. Visitors enjoy the village’s weekly events including pan music and drumming at the beach bar, the Thursday beach bonfire and the Saturday barbecue, all of which attract a mix of locals and visitors.
