Set in the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates, this charming four-bedroom villa has outstanding views over the yacht-studded bay and out across the Caribbean Sea to the island of St Thomas. The sunset views from here are particularly special.

Outside on the terrace, a large pool surrounded by tropical greenery boasts gorgeous ocean views, while the sun-dappled antique brick patio has plenty of seating for all the family. Inside, expect to find lovely traditional shutters, high vaulted ceilings and mahogany details. The communal area includes a kitchen fit for budding chefs, a large dining table for sociable family dinners and a wet bar.

Two elegant bedrooms are located on the main floor. The other two are accessed from the pool deck, which is just a short walk down a covered stairway. One pool deck bedroom opens onto another bedroom with two day beds; it’s a great set-up for young families or can be used as a couples’ lounge. All rooms come with their own ensuite bathroom. Blue Papaya is a stunning villa in the security of a gated community, perfect for celebratory family holidays.
