About Golden Rock Dive Resort
About Golden Rock Dive Resort
Golden Rock Dive and Nature Resort occupies a privileged location at the foot of the Quill, also known as Mount Mazinga volcano on the island of Sint Eustatius – one of the last hidden gems of the Caribbean. This untouched, authentic island has so many secrets to offer, and this remarkable four-star resort is certainly one of them.
Alongside its desire to be the Caribbean’s leading sustainable resort, Golden Rock also strives to be the most colourful and luscious premises in the Caribbean. Guests are encouraged to stroll around the property’s radiant, 40-acre gardens using a series of marble pathways, taking in the exotic flora and fauna, gazing at the sweeping ocean views, and admiring the dramatic volcanic backdrop.
Guests can choose from 70 rooms, suites, and cottages, all designed with comfort and luxury at their heart. These contemporary accommodations have all been completed to an exacting standard with high-end finishes and spacious terraces offering colourful views of the gardens, pool, and ocean. While staying at Golden Rock Dive and Nature Resort, guests can also make use of an extensive array of facilities suitable for both relaxation and recreation.
Explore the resort
Breeze is a hotspot for resort guests and locals alike, with magnetic vibes and jaw dropping design. This premier restaurant overlooks Golden Rock’s unobstructed oceanfront and serves exquisite dishes made with fresh local ingredients. A selection of enticing cocktails are also available to accompany each postcard-perfect Caribbean sunset. Bobbie’s Beach Club is located at the foot of the cliff, where the Quill Volcano meets the Atlantic Ocean, promising breathtaking views and a laid-back vibe. Here, guests will also find the large ocean-fed lagoon pool, complete with hammocks and swings to create the ultimate holiday atmosphere.
Guests in search of relaxation can make the most of this resort’s massage room, mindfulness yoga and pilates sessions, or simply find a secluded spot amongst the garden’s bountiful blooms. For those looking to work up a sweat, Golden Rock Resort also features a soccer field, tennis and basketball courts, a minigolf course, and an oceanfront fitness centre. Even the youngest guests have plenty of opportunity to burn off some steam, thanks to a large outdoor children’s play area. And, when it’s time to cool off, head to the large asymmetrical swimming pool or ocean-fed lagoon for a refreshing dip.
Diving from Golden Rock Dive and Nature Resort
Operated by Golden Rock Resort, Statia Divers is located beside Bobbie’s Beach Club and is always ready to take guests on exceptional underwater adventures. Guided by this experienced team, guests will enjoy valet-style guided dives that fit their comfort and experience level. A selection of 36 different dive sites can be accessed throughout Sint Eustatius’ marine park, which is bigger than the island itself. The diving is diverse and offers several unique habitats, from shallow reefs and deeper walls to wrecks and lava flows. All dive sites are covered in coral, sponges, and an abundance of Caribbean creatures, big and small.
Golden Rock Dive and Nature Resort features its very own man-made saltwater lagoon, located beside the dive centre and Bobbie’s Beach Club. The lagoon measures roughly the size of a football field and is around 10-metres deep. Featuring a sunken school bus that was custom-painted by local young artists, this unique pool provides an interesting and safe environment for learning to freedive and scuba dive. All courses are taught by professional instructors who are qualified to conduct all PADI certifications, from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster.

In its commitment to an eco-consciousness lifestyle, Golden Rock Resort makes use of a variety of sustainable systems, such as the use of solar panels to power the entire property. A reverse osmosis machine is also implemented to turn saltwater into clean, drinking water with a capacity to store 240,000 litres. Additionally, a helophyte filter is used to clean dirty water through the use of reed and bamboo to be used for irrigation of the property’s plants and grass. After planting over 130,000 plants, flowers, and trees this resort has created a thriving ecosystem, attracting colourful species of birds and butterflies.
