The sweeping three-floor colonnade that encases Lime Tree speaks of Mediterranean splendour, whilst the views and setting are the very pinnacle of Caribbean glory. Set amongst the exclusive, hilltop neighbourhood of Upper Peter Bay, Lime Tree promises the best panoramic vistas on St John, encompassing St. Thomas, Tortola, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and Drake's Passage.

Surrounded by reams of protected and awe-inspiring National Park, Lime Tree is situated to work harmoniously with nature all through the year: mountain breezes cool the summer heat and the south-facing aspect bathes the villa in sunshine from dawn ’til dusk. The sense of being lifted above everything gives Lime Tree a magic which makes it well worth the 86 minutes from the airport. Once arrived, there is plenty of parking space (a rarity in St John) and easy access to the historic town of Cruz Bay, 14 minutes away, and Trunk Bay Beach only two minutes away.

The home itself seamlessly combines the best elements of Mediterranean, Mexican and Caribbean design to create spaces which are grand and yet light with stunning features throughout. The five bedrooms are all ensuite, with the master boasting an adjoining media room and indoor/outdoor showers. One room is tucked away in its own gatehouse with a romantic balcony - perfect for a couple. Of real note is the kitchen, which is decorated in exquisite, jewel-like tiling of intricate design and dazzling deep colours. Continuing with the promise the aesthetics make, the gourmet, Viking kitchen is fully equipped, complete with Nespresso machine and professional quality Blend-tec blender for crafting high-end drinks.

Outside are wonderful Spanish-style courtyards, terraces and a bridge and sun-deck which arch out towards the spectacular scenery below. The beautiful hot tub and pool are linked by a gently cascading waterfall and, at night, dramatic, variable-coloured lighting under the water can create any atmosphere you want. Wonderful for a group looking for refinement and nature in perfect balance, Lime Tree blends together the very best of St John.
