Bequia comes alive with events throughout the year, reflecting the island’s rich maritime heritage and lively community spirit. The famous Bequia Easter Regatta attracts sailors and visitors from around the world, while the Bequia Music Fest fills the air with rhythm every January. Local markets and cultural festivities provide even more reasons to dive into the island’s vibrant life.

Plantation House

Old timers may remember the Plantation House (then known as Sunny Caribee) as Dive Bequia’s original home. The hotel underwent a full renovation in 2018 and is under new management. Conveniently located just a few minutes walk along the beach from the dive shop, the location is perfect for solo travelers or groups.

The Gingerbread is perfectly located along the Belmont Walkway.  Just seconds away from the dive center and dock, Gingerbread’s six, self-contained waterfront suites are nestled in a tropical garden that provides that perfect combination of serenity with the ease of access to activities and restaurants.   Group, family and solo travelers are easily accommodated. It really is a great little spot!
