Sint Eustatius
All the ingredients for your unforgettable vacation
Relax or explore: On Statia, tranquility and adventure co-exist. In the middle of the azure Caribbean Sea lies the Dutch Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius, a unique and unspoiled paradise where pristine nature, culture and diversity are inextricably linked. On land and in surrounding crystal waters, new fascination awaits you every day: dive or hike your way into the island’s rich history, or daydream on a black sand beach - anything is possible - and because this intimate island has no mass tourism, you can enjoy it all to the fullest, undisturbed.
Diving
Unravel the underwater mystery of pristine coral reefs, hundreds of rainbow-colored fish species, effortlessly gliding sea turtles and historic shipwrecks at the 36 dive sites within Statia Marine Park.
Nature
Nature beckons quietly along the rugged coasts and bays. Trek through trails in the verdant hills or dare to challenge the highest peak of the Quill, the dormant volcano on the island. Those who conquer it will reward themselves with sweeping views of unspoiled nature.
Beaches
Tucked away among impressive cliffs, a number of beautiful, secluded bays invites you to spread your towel on the black volcanic sand for a period of relaxation and a soak in the warm, inviting waters.
History
Sint Eustatius presents its “open-air museum” with 119 historical monuments offering compelling opportunities to immerse yourself in our rich, eventful past.

"My visit at the end of April was simply the most perfect vacation. One can easily stretch out all day and do nothing but enjoy the sights or you can do like me and attempt to leisurely roam the entire island. The raw beauty, the majestic views of the sea from every angle kept me gasping at every corner. I could not have imagined such a small place to have that many hidden treasures! From hiking up the Quill, strolling to museum and old churches, taking in the sights from Fort Oranje and Fort De Windt, to simply hanging out downtown after a fine dinner at The Barrel House, I had the experience of a lifetime. The laid-back lifestyle left nothing to be desired. Of particularly notice, the personal and attentive service from Tony at the Statia Lodge or Mr. Lindo at the tourism center beg for a return in the near future. I had to go back to the reality of work and life, but the memories will be forever with me. Until next time Statia. You rock!"

" My stay at Golden Rock Resort was unforgettable. Statia has a very good way to attaching itself to someone, it's energy vibrates all over the Hotel and the island, it's contagious in a way that the energy doesn't go away after you leave... it follows you.
Golden Rock Resort may be brand new but it doesn't fail to give the best experience you could have in a great resort. Stunning views, great infrastructure, amazing food, the absolute nicest staff and a lot more; makes the place feel so cozy, safe and like home.
I can't wait to get back to Statia and to Golden Rock Resort. So excited to see the amazing things the Resort has in store for the near future..."- João Adams Samora, October 2021

"Golden Rock Resort offered a magical and very comfortable experience during our stay in Statia. Between lounging by the pool, cocktails at the restaurant at sunset, delicious meals at Breeze and an unforgettable hike up the Quill volcano, we thoroughly enjoyed splendid sea views and the fresh Caribbean breeze. A special highlight of our stay was the bed, which felt like a dream! Last but not least, the overall flawless service of the friendly team and brand-new hotel felicities. I can’t wait to go back!"
