This slice of paradise is Barbuda Belle, a secluded luxury resort on the northwest coast of Barbuda.

For drinks, the Jelly Tree Bar in the Clubhouse is the place to be. Order your pre-dinner cocktail and relax in one of the wicker chairs or sink into one of the deep sofas while drinking a Wadadli local beer.
The lighting is soft and through the tall windows, you can watch the sun setting and the stars come out.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainability
The Barbuda Belle is solar-powered to keep in with the ethos a minimal environmental footprint.
Hurricane Irma in 2017
Visiting the Barbuda Belle, you would not believe that it had been hit by Hurricane Irma in 2017. So bad was the damage that it took a year of hard work to get the resort back up and running. During the building, the new Spa was added and a bungalow, bringing the total up to 8.
Overall Verdict
The Barbuda Belle Resort is the perfect place for a honeymoon, special birthday, anniversary, or just because you deserve it! Peace, serenity and luxury rolled into one.
You will feel relaxed the minute you step off the boat. The staff are attentive but discreet. You will arrive as a guest and leave as a friend
