Absolutely stunning! The natural beauty surrounding this first-class,
ultra-deluxe private beach estate will truly take your breath away; your
choice of two perfect white-sand beaches are just steps away from Sol y
Sombra through either of two carved gates.
Entering this enchanting villa, a coral stone staircase leads you down
through luxuriant landscaping where the drama of this superb property
unfolds: four pavilions within the fully-fenced and gated manicured
grounds embrace a sweeping coral stone terrace set with a large
infinity-edge pool and bordered by an expanse of green lawn.
The spacious main pavilion offers a large Great Room with a
state-of-the-art entertainment system, a shaded terrace with wet bar just
outside, and is flanked by a formal dining room which seats 12 (with
additional seating for 8 just outside on the covered terrace; perfect for
lazy breakfasts) and a wonderful gourmet kitchen fully equipped with a
Viking gas range, wine fridge and all expected SubZero and Cuisinart
appliances.
Adjoining is the office, completely outfitted with a computer, printer,
fax, cable TV, etc. and a half bath. Just outside and at one end of the
pool is the second pavilion offering an air-conditioned master suite with
its own covered verandah, walk-in closet and a beautiful bath with an
exotic alfresco shower looking out to a burst of tropical flowers.
On the other end of the pool is Sol y Sombra's second pavilion,
ingeniously built around huge smooth boulders for which Virgin Gorda is
famous. This pavilion offers a pool level air-conditioned bedroom/bath
suite with two twin beds and its own verandah, and above it via a
staircase curving around a mammoth boulder is the unique second
air-conditioned master suite. This dramatic bedroom/bath suite opens out
to a pergola terrace, a private and breathtaking vantage point offering
fantastic sea views off the Baths and of green islands and cays to the
horizon.
The Tennis Suite, an air-conditioned guest house, is situated behind
the Great Room pavilion, just across the estate's private tennis court,
and boasts its own air-conditioned sitting room with two twin daybeds,
cable TV and a kitchenette; an air-conditioned queen bedroom and full bath
adjoins. This suite is bordered by a partially-shaded verandah, and from
it a circular staircase climbs to a cool rooftop aerie.
Luxurious Sol y Sombra is distinguished by sumptuous Thai teak
furnishings adorned with rich fabric, handcrafted mahogany windows and
doors with brass fittings, handsome native stonework, cool gold-hued coral
stone flooring (so kind to bare feet, inside and out), gaily-painted
umbrellas poolside and a charming collection of elephants gracing garden
nooks and crannies.
A cook is available by request; no staff live on the estate, so your
complete privacy at secluded Sol y Sombra is assured. This A-list beach
property promises a holiday of a lifetime to those seeking the very best
for their private Caribbean holiday...five stars, and with our own
personal recommendation!
- *9th + *10 persons may sleep on the 2 twin daybeds in the Tennis
Suite's air-conditioned living area - both must be children under 18
years, please.
