Ownership & Heritage

Hidden Gem Barbados was founded and is owned by Ann-Marie Dyer, who serves as the property’s Founder, Proprietor and Creative Director.

Dyer created Hidden Gem around her vision of a welcoming Barbados home where thoughtful design, genuine hospitality and a strong sense of place come together. Her personal approach can be seen throughout the property, from its individually designed rooms to its deliberately intimate scale.

Today, Hidden Gem offers travelers an opportunity to support Black woman-owned, locally rooted hospitality in Barbados while experiencing a quieter and more personal side of the island.
