Named for the extraordinary stone arch that stretches over the first home built in the community, Moonhole is an eclectic community of homes designed to blend with nature.

Founded in the 1960s by New Yorkers Thomas and Gladys Johnston, the couple began building their tropical home on the island of Bequia from found materials and locally scavenged resources, including a bar made from a humpback whale's jawbone.

Now a 19 home enclave on the island's southern tip, the homes are not only made of scavenged materials, but are designed to be ecologically friendly, running on solar power.
