Bathe with a View

The Summit’s en-suite spa bath is a masterclass in calm. Wrapped in warm wood tones and custom tile, it features a double vanity and an oversized rainforest shower, with sliding doors that reveal panoramic water views. Outfitted with Byredo bath amenities and plush robes, it’s your personal sanctuary to unwind after a day exploring the island—or to greet the morning in quiet luxury.

Luxury Without Limits

Every detail at The Summit is curated for comfort, including a complimentary in-room Trail Bar stocked with cold brew made with Oatly, cold-pressed juice, citrus green tea, kombucha, Coke, Diet Coke, and water. Brew your own fresh coffee or tea using the in-room French press or kettle, then savor it from your terrace as the city begins to stir in the distance. A plush king bed, climate control, blackout drapes, and Wi-Fi ensure your time indoors is just as relaxing. Each stay also includes turn-down treats and your own personalized fire pit to enjoy under the stars.
