Firstly, open the curtains and enjoy the fabulous view from your room. Step outside, stretch those arms and take in a deep breath of that fresh sea air where the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea join.
Then take your time over breakfast as we only begin at 08:30 and finish at 10:30. Enjoy fresh local juices (sour sop is a favorite and add some local honey if you want to). After breakfast make your way to the beach and let the water run through your toes (try not to use your phone, the world can wait).
You are doing well, this is how you start to do nothing, let you mind wander, imagine, dream and thirst to enjoy nothing but life. Go get your bathing gear on, pick up a towel and put on the sun cream, you are on holiday now.
The Ideal Plan when staying at the Liming is to rest and relax for a day or two, then take a full day activity out on the boats or around the Island. Then for the next couple of days rest again. A full day out on the water is long and with the added humidity and salt air it can drain you. But a day trip is definitely worth it - you can visit more than one island in a day, maybe see turtles, dolphins, starfish and even a whale if you are lucky. See golden beaches, little islands and turquoise waters under beautiful sunshine.
We have an astro-turf court, you can ask for racquets and balls at the Pavilion on the beach, after that it’s a good warm-up walk to get there. Don’t forget to take some water as humidity is high here, while caps are beneficial.
A selection of games are available to keep an active mind going; you can select from Spike Ball, Pickle Ball, Corn Hole to enjoy on the beach and lawn area. For those who like a little more challenging game we have Petanque (Bocce ball) to enjoy.
Other activities include frisbee, Smack ball and Jenga!
This can be arranged with 24 hours’ notice! Our yoga instructor is based on the main Island so this is something that needs to be prepared in advance, but we have the wide-open spaces to make the most of it.
At the hotel we have masks and fins for those who want to adventure out into the water and enjoy the underwater sea life. Since creating The Liming, the pier and surrounding rocks have created a haven of life for all types of sea life. Remember to bring with you your waterproof camera pouch to snap those underwater pictures.
The Liming has kayaking and paddle boarding available at the property for those who are a little more energetic.
We can arrange a day out with our respected suppliers. For prices please enquire and we can get back to you to advise on your adventure.
One of the most beautiful and secluded islands within the Grenadines, Bequia is peaceful and secluded with awe-inspiring beaches, including Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay. Both of which can be reached on foot by the new Belmont Walkway from Port Elizabeth.
Finally, two of my favourite “relaxing” activities happen at night and one of them is unique!
The first one is star gazing and on a clear night, with very little light pollution, the sky is blessed with an array of stars to enjoy, so download that star gazing app and explore the skies.
The second one happens at the back of the rooms and that is watching Fireflies dance around sending signals to one another. It sounds strange but standing there and watching these little insects communicate with each other is wonderful, and then before you know it 20 minutes has passed by with you mesmerised by them.
So, you will not be left with too much of nothing to do!
Set on 35 acres of land you can walk the roads up and down, as well as along the beach. We have view points from which you can see Canouan, Union Island and on a super clear day from the top, Grenada can be spotted.
For something a little more strenuous you can hike up Mount Peggy and then enjoy spectacular views once you reach the summit. We can arrange a guide for you but we need 24 hours’ notice. It can be quite humid so we recommend leaving around 6:30am. If you require a picnic this can be arranged for you. You can head down the other side into Lower Bay and have a dip in the clear blue sea. $50 USD per person.
‘Mount Peggy’, is Bequia’s highest point with beautiful, unobtrusive views of Bequia from up above. Walk from the hotel across towards La Pompe, where you will learn about the history of the whaling industry in Bequia. The climb up to Mount Peggy involves trekking through different vegetation zones, including travelling through open pastures, dry scrub bush and finally dry tropical forest to reach the spectacular view at the summit, known locally as Peggy’s Rock.
