What a surprise it is to come upon a boutique hotel in such a remote location – Diana Dea Lodge is set high in the hills above Ste-Anne (it's signposted) and is reached after 12km of numerous twists and turns amid cane fields. It's also set apart by its design, which combines wood and stone.
Precious perks include a heated pool, a spa, a bar and a top-notch restaurant (open to nonguests by reservation) – not to mention astounding views of the coast. This is one of those special places that lingers in the mind for its serenity.
