| Key Features
St Eustatius, generally known as Statia, is a very small and quiet, English and Dutch speaking island that is barely known and quite hard to get to (mainly via St Maarten). Just a couple of grey sand beaches, some hiking, very strong history, now visible in just a few attractive old buildings in town. A handful of small hotels and guest houses and a few mainly local restaurants and bars. Old Caribbean charm. | | |
Accommodation
Statia is extremely quiet and has just a handful of places to stay, none of which are large. Some are set down in the Lower Town but most are on the hillside above, scattered around the Upper Town or in a couple of cases in outlying parts of the island. Only the Old Gin House hotel has a feel of St Eustatius's Eighteenth Century trading history. The other hotels are in modern buildings, but they are generally friendly and can be lively on certain evenings.
Hotels & Resorts
There are no resorts or large hotels on St Eustatius.
Small Hotels & Inns
ThereThere are a few small St Eustatius hotels and inns. The Old Gin House is the only one which has a sense of old time Statian authenticity. Our recommendations are -
King’s Well Hotel, Oranje Bay, 9 rooms, simple and friendly private villa atmosphere with honour bar system, pool and spa facilities, 1 minute walk to beach, owner run.
Old Gin House, Lower Town, 18 rooms, interesting 18th Century former cotton gin inn with colonial style, restaurant and bar.
Villas

Villa Resorts
There are no villa resorts in Statia.
Cottages, Apartments and Condominiums
It’s worth remembering that Statia has some small groups of cottages and self-catering suites, in some cases around some central facilities. There is one out on the island, but it is also worth looking around in town. We recommend -
Statia Lodge, White Hall, 10 bungalows, low key sea view resort, cluster of one & two-bedroom wooden cottages, swimming pool, bar.
Guest Houses
There are a couple of guest houses on St Eustatius but we are on the lookout for recommendations.
Sailing and Cruising
Two centuries ago the harbour in Statia would have been crowded with sailing ships, but nowadays there is nobody that offers a stay sail combination.
