Our Story

Once a Catholic convent and school, this iconic property has been thoughtfully reimagined by designer Tom Scheerer to offer a refined island retreat. Located in charming Dunmore Town—just steps from pink sand beaches, boutique shops, and vibrant local culture—The Convent invites guests to discover the rich legacy and relaxed luxury of ‘Briland.’
