Kariwak Village Holistic Haven

Top choice in Tobago


Just a five-minute walk from Store Bay Beach, Kariwak feels incredibly peaceful despite its central location. The modern cabanas line paths that wind through flower-filled tropical gardens, past tinkling streams and a thatch-roofed yoga ajoupa (open hut). It’s both rustic and refreshing. It has an organic herb garden, two pools (one with waterfall-fueled hot tub), yoga classes and a really excellent restaurant.
