Moonhole is a remarkable architectural feat carved into a massive volcanic rock formation on Bequia's rugged west coast. Built in the 1960s by American artist Tom Johnston and his wife, this house is seamlessly integrated into the natural landscape, with rooms open to the elements and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Visitors can tour the property to see how local stone and driftwood were used to create a sustainable, off-grid dwelling. The site's dramatic setting, especially at sunset, makes it a memorable attraction. Moonhole exemplifies creative harmony with nature, offering a unique perspective on island living.

Don't miss

  • Tour the rock-hewn rooms and terraces, marveling at the integration with the cliff.
  • Watch the sunset from the main terrace, with unobstructed views over the sea.
  • Explore the surrounding coastal trail for dramatic cliffside scenery.
