Perched high on the hillside of Sandy Hill Bay, this elegant private estate has stunning sweeping views over the sparkling Caribbean Sea to St Barts and the mountains of St Martin beyond. A stay here is all about the chance to relax in a very special setting – the estate has its own sea-view infinity pool and it’s just a five-minute stroll down a private path to the soft white sands of a deserted beach.

There’s a huge sense of space at Zenaida Estate. It’s set in three acres of lush gardens, where a 17th century Dutch fort once stood, and the seven ensuite bedrooms are housed in two villas and a garden cottage, so there’s plenty of privacy. Décor is modern Anguillan; think dark wood, light tiles and smart shutters. Bedrooms are designed to frame the gorgeous views, with picture windows and sliding doors to let in the warm breeze. There’s also a light and airy entertainment pavilion with a plush kitchen and wraparound dining terrace, which is the ultimate spot for a special family gathering.

Start the days right with a morning yoga session in the beach gazebo or a game of tennis on the Har-Tru court, then spend the rest of the day drinking in the views from the infinity pool, unwinding with a poolside massage and sipping zesty cocktails in the hot tub as the sun sets over the sea. Zenaida Estate is the perfect setting from which to enjoy the slower pace of island life.
