Views in the Tropics

VILLAFFRYES, SAINT MARY, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA

2 Bedrooms • 2.5 Bathrooms • Sleeps 4

Private PoolPrivate ChefBeach AccessSea ViewConcierge

Views in the Tropics lives up to its name. A bright two-bedroom villa within a gated hillside resort at Tamarind Hills, on Antigua's calm west coast, it is arranged over two levels and built entirely around its waterfront outlook. A private infinity pool runs to the edge of the terrace and appears to merge with the turquoise sea, while a balcony with a barbecue and a table makes an easy spot for sunset dinners. Inside, the villa is crisp and contemporary: an open-plan living and dining room and a full kitchen with a breakfast bar all open to the water, and the two en-suite bedrooms, one king, one twin, both wake to the sea, one with a hanging chair on its own balcony. It sleeps four, which suits two couples or a small family who want a private, view-led base rather than a big villa. Guests also have the run of the resort, a beach club, a gym, a spa, a bar and a beachfront restaurant, with a white-sand beach just below and Ffryes Bay minutes away. The capital, St John's, is a short drive. V. C. Bird International Airport is around a 35 to 40 minute drive.

Best time to visit

peak crowdpremium value

The December to April dry season brings the warmest, driest weather and the calmest, clearest water off Ffryes.

The dry season from December to April is the classic time to visit, with warm, sunny days, gentle trade winds and calm, clear water in the bay. May and early summer stay bright and quieter. June to November is the Atlantic hurricane season, hotter and more humid with the odd heavy shower, though the sheltered west coast makes an easy time to relax by the pool.

Why we chose it

We chose it for the sheer view. The infinity pool and the sea outlook from every room feel far larger than a two-bedroom villa, and the crisp, contemporary interior keeps everything calm and uncluttered. For two couples or a small family it is ideal, private and easy, yet backed by a full resort with a beach club, spa, gym and restaurants a short stroll away. With a white-sand beach just below and Ffryes Bay minutes off, it is a smart, view-led base for a Caribbean week.

01The Architecture

The villa is one of a cluster of contemporary homes stepping down the hillside of a gated resort, positioned so that its living level and pool terrace command an open sweep of the bay. The style is contemporary Caribbean: white rendered walls, dark timber beams, deep overhangs for shade and glass balustrades that keep the outlook clear. Wide sliding doors…

02The Interior

Inside, the mood is light, crisp and calm. Pale sofas and soft neutrals sit against white walls, with woven pendants, sea-toned art and vaulted timber ceilings adding warmth. The open-plan living and dining room flows onto the terrace so the sea is always in view, and the full kitchen has an island and breakfast bar for cooking or casual meals.…

03The Outdoor

The outdoors is the whole point of Views in the Tropics. A private infinity pool runs along the terrace, its edge merging with the sea, with sun loungers set out to catch the sun and the breeze. A balcony with a barbecue and a table makes alfresco dinners easy, and there is always a spot in sun or shade with…

04The Location

Views in the Tropics sits at Tamarind Hills on Antigua's sheltered west coast, a gated hillside resort with a white-sand beach below and Ffryes Bay minutes away. Two of the island's best beaches, Ffryes and Darkwood, are close by, and the calm, west-facing water is ideal for swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding. The resort beach club, spa, gym, bar and restaurant…

05Ideal For

Best for two couples or a small family who want a private, view-led base with resort comforts close at hand. The two en-suite bedrooms and clifftop infinity pool suit couples especially, while the calm beaches and beach club make it comfortable for families with children, with supervision around the pool.
