Like the theatrical production it is named for, Kismet is an “ecstasy of song, spectacle and love…”
a splendid medley of attention to the nuances of fine design and comfort in a spectacular Caribbean setting—with a plethora of ways to amuse yourself on your perfect vacation or retreat.

Courtyard with Pool and Hot Tub

The Courtyard is a central hub for friends and associates to enjoy at any time of day. Spacious with comfortable seating in sun or shade and fantastic views and breezes, yet very private.

Start your day with a refreshing dip in the pool, sunbathe in the courtyard or soak in the hot tub.

Garden Paths

Wander the neatly manicured stone and grass paths to discover strategically located wrought iron benches for watching cruise ships pass or observe the Banana Kwits and King birds as they flitter between the trees.

Or encounter the hammock, a perfect place for an afternoon nap after a day hiking trails or swimming at one of St. John’s gorgeous beaches.
