Savoring the Bounty of Little Corn Island

At The Lighthouse Restaurant, we celebrate not just the tranquility of our island haven but also the rich culinary treasures it offers. Little Corn Island, nestled in the Caribbean, is a paradise not only for its pristine beaches but also for its exceptional seafood that tantalizes the taste buds of visitors and locals alike.


One cannot delve into the culinary delights of Little Corn Island without mentioning the revered Ron Don. This traditional dish is a testament to the island's rich cultural heritage and the bounty of its surrounding waters. The Ron Don is a sumptuous crab soup simmered slowly in fresh coconut milk, enriched with an array of seafood and locally sourced vegetables. Its preparation, passed down through generations, is a celebration of community, tradition, and flavors that dance harmoniously on the palate.


What makes Ron Don a culinary masterpiece is not just the fresh seafood—crab, lobster, fish—but also the careful selection of vegetables and the infusion of coconut milk. This rich and creamy broth is a testament to the islanders' culinary mastery, reflecting the island's vibrant spirit and the bounty of its seas.


The Ron Don is not merely a dish; it's a symbol of gathering, shared moments, and the vibrant history of Little Corn Island. As you indulge in this delicacy, each spoonful becomes a journey through time, offering a taste of the island's heritage and the warmth of its people.


While the Ron Don holds a special place in our culinary heritage, the island boasts an array of seafood delicacies waiting to be discovered. From succulent lobster to fresh fish, each dish celebrates the island's connection to the sea. At The Lighthouse Hotel, we take pride in incorporating these local treasures into our menu, offering guests an opportunity to savor the flavors of Little Corn Island during their stay.


Join us as we embrace the essence of Little Corn Island, where the ocean's bounty meets culinary expertise. Experience the allure of fresh seafood and the revered tradition of Ron Don, a dish that embodies the island's heart and soul, leaving an indelible mark on every visitor's culinary journey.


Come, savor the flavors, and immerse yourself in the culinary delights of Little Corn Island at The Lighthouse Hotel and Spa, where each dish tells a story, and every bite is a celebration of the island's abundant seafood and cherished traditions.
