THE BODY HOLIDAY

The greens are bordered by stunning orchids and bromeliads, while the perfectly manicured fairways overlook the picture perfect turquoise of the Caribbean. The 6,836 yard layout has developed an excellent reputation for its design and conditioning since opening in 2001, and has a maturity that belies its relative youth.
