Set across 40 acres of lush, oceanfront landscape on the hidden island of St. Eustatius, this contemporary boutique resort combines upscale comfort with raw natural beauty, creating the perfect base for both adventure and relaxation.
Perched beneath the dramatic slopes of The Quill, Golden Rock delivers an authentic island experience with a refined edge.

Widely regarded as one of the Caribbean’s best-kept diving secrets, Statia offers access to over 36 pristine dive sites within a protected marine park. Expect an extraordinary variety of underwater landscapes - from coral-covered lava flows and dramatic walls to historical wrecks and macro-rich reefs - all thriving in healthy, uncrowded conditions. With short boat rides (typically just 5–20 minutes), you can maximize time in the water and enjoy a relaxed, efficient dive schedule.
Diving operations are tailored for quality over quantity, with small group ratios and experienced guides ensuring a personalized experience for divers of all levels. Whether it’s exploring labyrinths of ancient volcanic rock now blanketed in coral, discovering wrecks steeped in history, or photographing rare macro life, every dive delivers something memorable - even for the most seasoned travelers.
Above the surface, Golden Rock offers the perfect balance for group travel. Spend afternoons unwinding by the pool, enjoying exceptional dining, or sharing dive stories over cocktails. For those looking to explore further, hike into the rainforest-filled crater of The Quill, sail along the island’s untouched coastline, or simply soak in the peaceful rhythm of an island untouched by mass tourism.
For divers, Golden Rock Resort is an easy standout - combining world-class, uncrowded diving with boutique luxury and seamless logistics. It’s the kind of destination that surprises clients, exceeds expectations, and keeps divers coming back for more.

Scuba Diving with Scubaqua
Scubaqua Dive Center
Unaffected by mass tourism St. Eustatius is not your average Caribbean island, imagine the Caribbean about 25 or 30 years ago and you get close. The reefs surrounding St. Eustatius are flourishing in a protected marine park. Underwater you will experience what much of the Caribbean must have looked like many years ago. The eye-catching volcano “the Quill” dominates the island with its impressive crater and is responsible for the huge amount of lava flows and blocks under the surface. These old labyrinths of lava are now fully overgrown with coral and sponges. Combine these reefs with numerous of historical dive sites and more recent sunk wrecks and you got yourself a diver's paradise!
Scubaqua Dive Center operates two well-equipped dive vessels. Boat diving ‘Scubaqua Style’ means ‘hassle-free’ diving, with your tank waiting on the boat when you arrive. the majority of the dive sites are only a 5-to-20-minute boat ride from the harbor.
Scubaqua is probably one of the most unique dive centers in the world! The shop is housed in a beautiful historical building once occupied by the Dutch West India Trading Company. A total renovation to meet the modern divers’ needs was made without detracting from the historic appeal or 17th century charm of this landmark building.
Scubaqua is fully equipped and provides free Nitrox. A range of courses are available, and it is one of the most efficient yet friendly dive centers we have ever been to! Add to that, Scubaqua has its own bar with an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as souvenirs and snorkel gear. The dive center was designed not only to meet your needs when diving, but as a place that invites you to stay a while afterwards and soak up the Caribbean atmosphere while enjoying the best view Statia has to offer.
