A gorgeous palette of blues and greys adorn this elegant, oceanfront home, which proves more than worthy of its wonderfully poetic name. Villa Moonshadow is a home with two sides: one of cosy nooks and charming living spaces which give the feel of being cocooned in a boat, the other of grand cathedral ceilings and awe-inspiring views.

Positioned on a narrow arm of the island, a different vista is available from each side of Moonshadow. What’s more, this contemporary home lies just 15 minutes from the airport and the beautiful town of Grace Bay, and only two minutes’ easy stroll from the dazzling Taylor Bay. The villa itself is ensconced in tropical gardens which seclude it from the outside world and yet the presence of a private dock and mini flotilla of kayaks means you can easily venture out and take to the waves at your leisure.

The five, vaulted-ceiling bedrooms, four of which are ensuites, boast smooth wooden fittings and statuesque windows. The fully-equipped kitchen comes complete with a self-cleaning oven and lovely communal eating space and a state-of-the-art outdoor grill offers the opportunity to cook local fish the traditional way - if you’re feeling really hands-on, you could even catch the fish yourself.

A charming loft provides a perfect reading nook, with both Taylor Bay and the kaleidoscopic waters of Chalk Sound in sight. Outside open decks, replete with immaculately comfortable loungers, border the vivid sparkle of the pool. The screened porch, open and covered terraces and gently-swinging hammock offer a myriad of ways to take in the beauty that surrounds you, while the deliciously cooling trade wind creates a consistently idyllic climate. From this exquisite vantage point, you can gaze out across the turquoise waters and watch swan-like ships heading out towards the horizon.
