Small enough to know your name by the second morning.

Tropicana is seven cottages — Lucky 7, Jhinuk, Probal, Shaibal, Coral, Ketuki and Keya — set along the beach on Saint Martin’s Island, with the Bay of Bengal a short walk from every door.

Breakfast is included with every stay, a welcome drink is waiting when you arrive, and a beach chair by your cottage is yours for as long as you’re here. Tea and coffee making facilities, bottled mineral water and fresh toiletries are stocked in every room.

Room service and electricity run around the clock, so a request at any hour gets answered. It is a small place, and most of a stay here is simply not having to ask twice for anything.

Rooms & suites

Two minutes on foot. Most guests don’t manage more than that on the first day.

This is a working fishing shoreline, and it stays quiet because of it. No jet skis off our stretch, no hawkers past the gate, nothing playing after ten. Loungers go out at seven and come in at dusk.

What there is, and what there deliberately isn’t.

Twenty-eight rooms doesn’t stretch to a spa or a nightclub, and we have never wanted either. What we do have, we look after.

  • The beach in front of Tropicana Beach Resort

    The beach

    Through the garden gate and down eleven steps. Loungers and umbrellas are set out from seven; towels are in your room, not at a desk. The tide runs a long way out in the afternoon and the sand it leaves is the best walk on this coast.

  • A plate from the kitchen at Tropicana Beach Resort

    The kitchen

    One menu, rewritten most mornings around the catch. Bengali plates, a short grill list, and dinner served until half past ten. Tell us at breakfast if you want something particular and there is a fair chance it can be found by evening.

  • A snorkelling trip off the coast near Cox’s Bazar

    Out on the water

    Boat trips down the coast most mornings in season, and snorkelling gear for anyone who wants it. The front desk books both a day ahead and will tell you honestly when the water is not worth the trip.

  • Breakfast

    On the terrace or in your room, until eleven. Paratha and eggs, seasonal fruit, and coffee made properly rather than quickly.

  • The courtyard

    Shaded seating under old palms, a shelf of left-behind paperbacks in the lobby, and enough room not to run into anyone.

  • The front desk

    Staffed 8:00 to 22:00 and on the phone the rest of the night. Laundry, bus tickets, and honest advice on where to eat in town.

  • Getting here

    Cox’s Bazar airport is a fifteen-minute drive. Send us your flight number and a car will be waiting for it.

An afternoon here, more or less in order.

The pool by two, the terrace by seven, and the long quiet bit in between that nobody puts on a brochure.

Daily 8:00 – 22:00 (GMT+6). Somebody who has actually seen the rooms picks up — ask which side of the house is quiet in December, or whether the two on the end can be held together.
