Over in Parlatuvier, Essex Cottage also makes for an ideal bolthole for nature-loving couples. Blending in with the surrounding nature and nestled in a cliff above Palatuvier, the cottage is decked out with natural wooden furnishings including a four-poster bed in the spacious bedroom and comfortable chairs on the veranda. From here, you can enjoy the romantic view of the craggy cliffs disappearing into the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea below. Inside, there is a fully furnished kitchen, meaning you can enjoy some evenings of your honeymoon in complete privacy, dining at home on fresh, local produce with only the night sky – fading from blue to pink to navy – for company.

From the moment you wake up, to the moment you fall asleep, you will be surrounded by nature. Look out for bright parrots as you swim in the infinity pool, breathe in the sweet scent of mango as you relax in the garden, and listen to the trickle of water slowly becoming louder as you walk closer to the private waterfall and swimming hole.

Outside of the property, you will find Parlatuvier Bay. Just a ten-minute walk away, this is an unspoilt slice of nature where you can float in the water to see rays, colourful fish and even turtles. Back on dry land, have a go at fishing from the jetty and even join the local fishermen to help them pull in the day’s catch.

Also just a short walk from Essex Cottage is the vast Main Ridge Forest Reserve – the only protected forest in the western hemisphere – which brims with biodiverse species. Its main trail is the two-hour Gilpin Trace which cuts right through the reserve’s thick rainforest. Spend some quality time together on the trail, surrounded by greenery and looking out for the many bird species including the elusive white-tailed sabrewing. At the end of the walk, jump into the refreshing spray of the Argyle Waterfall together to cool off.
