Boasting over an acre of immaculately landscaped gardens, Sandalwood House is surrounded by more than a dozen different types of palm trees as well as an abundance of other gorgeous tropical greenery. Resting in the desirable Sandy Lane Estate, the villa promises an ideal level of exclusivity and splendid views across the Old Nine golf course.

Evoking the laid-back airiness of the beach, the villa’s contemporary Caribbean furnishings are complemented by soft celadon, pastel blue and delicate coral-pink accents. Wide glass doors open the living area out to the shaded terrace, which in turn leads out onto the sun-kissed poolside deck. A cool Spanish-style gazebo provides the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, while the vast kitchen will delight aspiring culinary experts, with its granite countertops and large kitchen island. Spend balmy afternoons at the beautiful (and nearby) Sandy Lane Beach, then, come evening, let your chef prepare a sumptuous feast and dine al fresco before retreating to the hot tub for a spot of stargazing.

With its six stunning bedrooms, each complete with an ensuite bathroom, Sandalwood House is well suited to families or groups of friends yearning for total tranquillity and authentic island charm. For an additional taste of seclusion, two bedrooms can be found in a separate guest cottage which also features its own kitchen and shimmering plunge pool. An extra bathroom on the ground floor of the main villa can serve as a place to change and shower after spending warm afternoons swimming in the large cerulean pool.
