Overlooking what James A Michener called "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean," Discovery at Marigot Bay, a member of "Small Luxury Hotels of the World", offers 124 luxurious guest accommodations, carved into a lush, tropical hillside with dramatic views of the sea and beautiful yachts coming in and out of the harbor. A charming marina sits at the base of the resort offering restaurants, shops, entertainment and access to the beach, a two-minute ferry ride from the resort. This is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway for couples or singles.
Discovery at Marigot Bay is approx. 45mins. from Hewanorra Int'l Airport (UVF); 5 miles from George Charles Airport (SLU).

| Marigot Bay |
| Providing a safe haven for yachts over the centuries, magical Marigot Bay has been the scene of many dramatic events. For years the haunt of pirates, in the 18th century it was the scene of a famous sea battle between the French and British. The British won that particular battle by hiding their fleet behind the sandspit in the inner bay and tying palm fronds to their masts. The French sailed past without noticing anything was amiss, giving the British ships the advantage of surprise. A mural of the battle hangs on the wall of the Boudreau Restaurant.
In the late 1950s, a schooner captain named Walter Boudreau sailed into the bay on his yacht, "Dubloon". Falling in love with Marigot, he decided to stay and build the first hotel, including the now refurbished Hurricane Hole Bar. For a while, during the 60s, the Marigot Yacht Haven, as it was known, was THE place to be seen. Film stars and heads of state came to escape the stress and publicity of their lives and chill out and such was Marigot’s reputation that, after the first moon landing, the astronauts were brought here to relax and unwind.
Thirty years later, Marigot is no longer a sleepy fishing village and hiding place for adventurers on the run, but the magic is still strong. At night the edge of the bay is a circle of twinkling lights, but on nights around the full moon it becomes a sheet of silver. The sunsets, of course, are as beautiful as ever.

| Ferry to the Famous Spit |
| The famous palm lined "Spit" of sand that separates Marigot Bay from the open sea is perhaps one of the most beautiful and secluded sugar white beaches in the world. Only 200 yards from the Marina, the "Spit" can be reached by a ferry that runs continuously throughout the day. |
