This heavenly boutique-style natural hideaway is perfect for those seeking a little bit of grown-up luxury with superb cuisine and attentive, yet discreet service. Sprinkled over the beach and hillside in cottages that feature a colonial-meets¬-contemporary-minimalism style, the accommodation here at Hermitage Bay is also filled all the gadgets you could wish for.

Having such a secluded position, it’s hard to believe you’re only 10 minutes from the marina complex and golf courses of St John’s Jolly Harbour. Closer to home, you’ll find a beachfront pool, non-motorised watersports and a relaxing spa, while taste sensations await in the seashore restaurant. If cocktails are your thing though, make sure you sample the sensational Planters’ Punch during your stay; the recipe is a closely guarded secret so you may need more than one to work out the ingredients!
