Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel

Villas on a calm bay.

Belmond’s Moorish-white villas follow the curve of Maundays Bay. The water in front of the villas is typically calm and clear, one of the most sheltered beaches on the island.

With 113 rooms, it keeps a gentle pace. Book a villa room facing the bay and the beach is a few steps away.
