Property Description

The resort dates to 1653, when Charles Martel, a Knight of Malta, built a manor house and tobacco and indigo plantation on the present day site. The manor house’s thick walls and graceful bonnet arches are still visible in the resort’s main building. A sugar mill dating to the early 1700s sits near the resort’s entrance, and is a favorite location for weddings and receptions.The Cotton House, built in the early 1900s when cotton replaced sugar as the primary crop, now serves as a meeting room. The Hamilton Wing is named for the period when Alexander Hamilton lived in what is now the resort’s main building. The Armstrong family, owners and managers of the resort for three generations, opened The Buccaneer as an 11-room inn in January 1948. Over the past 67 years the family has overseen The Buccaneer’s evolution into a destination resort that is considered one of the Caribbean’s finest.
