Boho in Tobago . "Models, magnates and minor royals discretely chillout at the Old Donkey Cart House in Tobago, and the little hotel in Bacolet Bay, only ten minutes from the capital, Scarborough, rarely features in UK holiday brochures.

With only ten rooms, people-watching is a popular pastime in this laid-back, boho-chic hotel decorated in French colonial style. Other energy-sapping activities include soaking in the pool, sleeping in a four-poster bed, and eating Creole-style in the garden restaurant.

The main activity for the day: negotiating the 50 or so steps down to the sandy beach."
