Our Story

Where It All Began

Founded in 2009 by visionary hospitality entrepreneur Amelia Stillwater, The Pearl Crest Resort was born from a simple dream: to create a haven where people could reconnect with nature and themselves. What started as a boutique beachfront property with just twelve rooms has blossomed into an internationally celebrated five-star resort.

Through the years, we have stayed true to our founding principles of sustainable luxury, genuine hospitality, and a profound respect for the natural world. Our journey has been marked by constant innovation, meaningful community partnerships, and a team that treats every guest like family.
