For those seeking holidays in Tobago, our 17 tree-house style lodges are built to the highest standards and are set right above Castara beach in two acres of lush tropical gardens. Backed by the deep green of the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere and framed by mango trees and bamboo, Castara Retreats offers Caribbean vacations in a lush tropical paradise, where guests can relax and live in the landscape. Our one or two-bed lodges have either sun terraces or verandas, where you can relax under the trees and listen to the birds calling. High up, nestled into the rainforest, our vistas are as perfect for birders as they are for watching the stingrays in the bay below or the spectacular Caribbean sunsets. Our on-site restaurant, Caribbean Kitchen, rustles up delicious Caribbean-European fusion cuisine. Open from 11am-10pm daily, pop in for coffee and cake, a light lunch, cocktails at sunset or perhaps a full 3-course meal. Expect fresh fish from the bay below, vegetables grown onsite or in the village, and our signature oh-so-chocolatey dessert, made with award winning Tobago Cocoa Plantation chocolate. We also have a fabulous open-sided wellness studio, and offer daily yoga classes from 9-10am with stunning views of Castara Bay. TT$80 for an hour. Our support team, led by Porridge and Jeanell, are local or neighbours to Castara village and can offer guests the perfect opportunity to be introduced to local Caribbean culture. This authenticity is invaluable and our guests regularly feedback how special this connection makes their stay.
