The resort will also offer a wide array of amenities to enhance both relaxation and recreation. With three swimming pools, including a multi-level waterfall and a splash pool for children, the resort promises the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. A modern spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and 400 square feet of meeting space will ensure that both leisure and business travelers are well taken care of. Dining options at Elephant Tree Resort and Villas will range from the vibrant beach club serving grilled specialties and cocktails with stunning ocean views, to a signature all-day dining restaurant offering indoor and outdoor seating.

Elizabeth Scruggs, Brand Leader for Tapestry Collection by Hilton, highlighted the resort’s unique potential: “Tobago’s rich culture and stunning natural landscapes make it the perfect destination for a Tapestry Collection resort. We’re excited to offer an authentic experience that truly reflects the vibrant character of Tobago, providing guests with a deep connection to the island’s charm.”
