Bekonos is built around its pool and the view, with the moon rising directly over the water at night. Guests leave the doors and windows open to sleep to the sea breeze, and one of the longest beaches on the island is a three to five minute walk downhill.
From Bekonos you can walk down to the beach in a few minutes, spend the whole day at the pool (day and night, the owners say you could almost sleep in it), or head out on the water. Friendship Bay and the island’s quieter beaches are close by.

Ethical Info
Solar Energy
Bekonos is powered by rooftop solar panels sized to store several days of energy at once, so the villa keeps running through overcast days and the rainy season rather than leaning on the grid.
Rainwater harvesting
Bekonos collects rainwater through a rooftop system during Bequia’s roughly six-month rainy season and stores it for use around the villa.
Bekonos harvests and stores its own rainwater on the roof for use around the villa.
Bekonos collects rainwater from its roof through the rainy season, storing it so the villa can draw on its own supply.
Bekonos is finished in woven natural materials and designed around natural light and cross breeze, with much of the decor brought in and assembled on the island over the villa’s ten-month build.
The villa leans on woven natural fibres and locally assembled materials rather than imported synthetic finishes.
A small, low-density independent villa built and run by its owners, Bekonos keeps its footprint light through self-generated solar power, rainwater harvesting and natural materials.
There is no restaurant on site, so guests self-cater in the villa kitchen. The owners recommend bringing organic produce across from Spring View Organic Farm on mainland St Vincent before the ferry, and the host has previously helped guests with a grocery shop on arrival.
