It is a historical fact that Tobago, also known as Robinson Crusoe’s isle, was the Caribbean territory that was most fought over by colonial settlers - in fact, beginning in 1654, the island had been coveted by the Dutch, the English and the French, many times over. The reason? They all saw in Tobago the gem of the Caribbean and even after Trinidad and Tobago gained its collective independence from the British throne in 1962, the island has remained the crown jewel in the Caribbean throne.

Tobago is the more laid back of the twin islands of T&T, and as such, offers visitors unparalleled rest and relaxation. If you want to do nothing all day but listen to the sounds of the waves lovingly caressing the sandy shore, no-one is going to stop you! As a matter of fact, you may even find that Tobago operates on a different time schedule - the pace is slower, the days long and languid, the sky bluer, the faces friendlier. Every moment will seem unique here, no matter what you do (or don’t do)! There’s just that feeling in the air!

Where else can you relish the flavour of authentic Tobagonian Creole cooking among the softly rustling branches of an evergreen tree? Where else can you admire the richness of a reef from a glass-bottomed boat or become enthralled with the melodious warbles of seemingly endless species of birds? From Scarborough to Charlotteville, Plymouth to Roxborough, paradise abounds!

Your personal paradise may lie in our turquoise, balmy waters, whether you choose to relax in them, explore them, or get sporty on them! Or paradise to you may mean becoming one with the earth - hiking, bird watching or cycling along Tobago’s many picturesque trails. It may mean being carried away by our melodious music and captivating culture, but Tobago is also a romantic paradise - many couples, both famous and not-so-famous, have taken or renewed their wedding vows in Tobago and then stayed for an idyllic honeymoon! Or your Tobago paradise could mean the relaxation of a great golf game after a hectic day of business meetings.

Whatever your mood, Tobago is a paradise that is flexible enough to suit your fancy much like the trees sway to accommodate a warm tropical breeze - and the Sugar Mill is the perfect place to stay when you’re in Paradise!
