Virgin Holidays View
This lovely hotel sits on its own 100-acre peninsula at the southeast point of the island, just a 10-min drive from Nelson's Dockyard with its historical buildings, museum and bars. There are 2 beaches, one for watersports and the other for enjoying refreshing ocean breezes. If you're a tennis fan, this is a great place to come - 4 tennis courts are available for guests and there's a tennis pro available for coaching*. Most fêted of these is Piccolo Mondo, up on the hillside, while the attractive waterside Docksider does a mean steak in candlelit, alfresco surrounds.
For a real treat, Royal Suites have recently been added and are ultra-modern with sunken living room, floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies and expansive bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and his and hers showers! A concierge service is available to all Royal Suite guests, ensuring your holiday goes as smoothly as possible and there is exclusive use of two swimming pools and a club bar. A private boardwalk also takes you from the suites right into the heart of Mamora Bay, perfect for strolling along in the moonlight!
If plenty of home-from-home comforts appeal, choose a villa instead of a hotel room at St James's Club. Cheerful and bright, they feature warm Caribbean tones and terracotta tiles throughout. They're also very generous on space so are ideal for families and groups of friends. Both bedrooms are conveniently en-suite, so there's no queue for showers in the mornings and there's a lovely furnished patio for sitting and admiring the views, cocktail in hand of course! A ceiling fan and air-conditioning keep things cool and the dining table is set right beside the sliding glass doors, making the most of those sunsets. Piccolo Mondo, the resort's fine dining restaurant is in the village section as is the 3-tier swimming pool with wonderful bay views.
