Snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding are all possible, using equipment lent to guests, as are fishing outings on the house’s own boat. Numerous outdoor distractions await back on dry land, from ping pong to croquet, cricket or soccer games on the lush lawns. There’s a swimming pool flanked by tropical greenery, plus a separate hot tub overlooking one beach. Comfortable seafront seating is available on the veranda dock or you can opt for the fun suspended bucket seats in the shade.
The airy interiors are family-friendly and accessible. Large wooden doors connect outdoor living and dining areas to the sprawling, plant-filled ‘great room’ and its sofas. Four spacious ensuite bedrooms line the first floor, each opening onto a balcony with wide sea views, while the ground-floor chamber faces the garden and contains a wet room for wheelchair users. Two further sleeping quarters – one with four bunk beds – enjoy the privacy of an adjacent bungalow
As well as a chef and housekeepers, the villa's seven-strong staff include a butler who can advise on the Black River Safari cruise or visits to YS Falls, and arrange deep-sea diving or spa experiences at the nearby Sandals South Coast resort.
