Jake's Hotel
"A Treasure Beach institution, the family-run Jake’s is more than a boutique hotel; it’s the heart and soul of the community. In 1991, artist, architect and Renaissance woman Sally Henzell bought a modest plot of land in Treasure Beach, and over the years, she and her family have transformed it into a meandering outcropping of colorful cottages and bungalows with seaside views that provide an intimate antidote to the chain package hotels that dominate much of the island. For those looking for some action—the sporty kind, that is—Jake’s offers boat excursions, bird-watching trips, cooking and art lessons, yoga, and fitness retreats. (If relaxation is on the agenda, their Driftwood spa offers services like seaweed scrubs and massages.) Try the legendary rum punch at Dougie’s, the hotel bar, whose secret recipe has been passed down through generations of Henzells. Every other year, Jake’s hosts the Calabash International Literary Festival."
