Completely self-contained, centred around a two-mile crescent-shaped stretch of beach (one of the island’s prettiest), this is everything we think a resort should be.

More of a village than a holiday resort, it comes with its own shopping village, an 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course and golf academy, equestrian centre, three pools, floodlit tennis courts, watersports galore, holistic healing at the sprawling spa, the Anancy Children's Village… there's even a hospital. Then there are plenty of dining venues to explore, and a choice of meal plans too – so if you’re worried the budget could get out of hand, the Half Moon Plan includes all meals and most beverages.
