Overlooking the sparkling waters of Leverick Bay, this gorgeous five-bedroom villa in Virgin Gorda is an idyllic escape for up to ten guests. Nestling in the spectacular surroundings of the British Virgin Islands, Coconut Grove is the quintessential tropical hideaway where you can lay back, relax, and soak up the sunshine while sipping on a rum cocktail.

Blissful serenity is what the British Virgin Islands are all about. This little cluster of islands in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea is exactly what you imagine a Caribbean retreat to be. It’s a place where sapphire blue waters lap against white sandy beaches, deserted except for you and the sea turtles. The region is renowned for sailing and yachting, and the best time to come sailing here is around March. With gourmet restaurants serving unique local cuisine and plenty of natural wonders to explore, this is a veritable paradise for travellers of all kinds.

Coconut Grove embraces that laid-back, languid lifestyle and adds a little sprinkle of opulence into the mix. This contemporary villa uses the principles of indoor-outdoor living to create a bright and airy space with incredible views. The living and social areas blend together so guests can freely mingle between the cool interior and the sun-kissed exterior. A professional-standard kitchen offers the most enthusiastic chefs the chance to explore their culinary imagination. Or you can go al fresco with the gas BBQ for an evening family meal under the stars.

The villa’s five bedrooms are tranquil spaces where you can drift off into a deep sleep, soothed by the sound of the ocean waves and the breeze rustling through the palm trees. Each room has a generous king-size bed and attractive ensuite, with private balconies and stunning views for that early-morning coffee. The top level of the villa is wheelchair-friendly and houses three of the bedrooms. A charming spiral staircase takes guests down to the ground floor and the remaining two bedrooms.

Outside, a large freshwater pool dominates the sun deck, or you can find a shady nook for an afternoon snooze. The wet bar is the ideal place to mix up some pre-dinner cocktails or just sit back on a lounger and admire that endless view. Coconut Grove is a peaceful, calming place where you can revive your mind, body and soul underneath the Caribbean sky.
