A Private Island Paradise
Exclusively for Hodges Bay guests
Prickly Pear is our private island paradise — a short boat ride from the resort yet a world away from everything. Crystal-clear, ankle-deep water stretches along a sandbar that reaches into the sea, surrounded by some of the most beautiful reefs in the Caribbean.
Every day, the Prickly Pear Express departs continually from our beach, carrying guests to an experience of pure Caribbean indulgence. Home to the legendary XIV Beach Club, the island offers day-to-night dining, handcrafted cocktails, and sun-drenched sands reserved exclusively for Hodges Bay guests.
“Crystal waters, untouched sands, and a sky that forgets the world exists”
Day-to-Night Dining & Cocktails
XIV Beach Club sits at the heart of Prickly Pear Island — an open-air escape where the rhythm of the sea sets the pace of the day. Lounge in the sand with a fresh ceviche and a rum cocktail, or settle in for a long, golden-hour lunch as the Caribbean stretches endlessly around you.
Some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean lies just off the sandbar — vibrant reefs teeming with tropical fish, rays, and sea turtles.
At low tide a sandbar stretches far into the sea, with crystal-clear water barely up to your ankles — a natural wonder unique to Prickly Pear.
Ceviche, fresh-caught grills, tropical cocktails and easy island classics served right on the sand at XIV Beach Club.
Untouched beaches that feel a world away, with nothing between you and the horizon but warm Caribbean breeze.
Our dedicated boat departs continually from the resort beach throughout the day — simply stroll down and hop on.
The island is reserved exclusively for Hodges Bay guests — so you’ll always find the perfect lounger waiting.
Ask your butler or guest services to arrange your Prickly Pear experience, or plan ahead from home.
