The deck features contemporary dining and lounging furniture as well as a Guatemalan family-sized hammock and a propane grill. Enjoy an alfresco lunch while watching sailboats and yachts on the sea below. Pelicans, gulls and frigate birds frequently soar overhead. Take a nap in the hammock, and return for evening cocktails as the sun sets below the sea.

Although Island Spice villa is surrounded by the green Caribbean forest and is exceptionally private, it is only a few minutes walk (or drive) to Nail Bay’s beautiful Mountain Trunk beach, a great swimming beach for adults and small children alike – plus you’ll discover wonderful snorkelling. Nearby the beach is Nail Bay’s Sugarcane restaurant. And, Virgin Gorda destinations such as the Baths, Yacht Harbour Marina with shops and supermarket, and North Sound with its water sports, recreation, resorts and restaurants are a short drive away.

Island Spice Villa

Dramatically sited above the Caribbean Sea, Island Spice villa treats guests to a memorable island holiday. Relax, or entertain, in a gracefully-furnished greatroom that combines a full kitchen, open dining, and a comfortable reading/entertainment area with 32” flat screen HD satellite TV (with Dish Network channels), a CD stereo system, ipod dock, and wireless internet access. Two matching bedroom/bathroom suites, furnished in island décor with king beds, flank the greatroom and are separately accessed from the deck. All rooms offer full sea and garden views through large sliding windows and doors, and, in case of hotter days, have separate air conditioning units.

Spend casual hours on the villa’s long, spacious shaded deck with spectacular 180 degree panoramic vistas of the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the British Virgin chain of islands. St. John, in the U.S. Virgins is visible on the far horizon.

Or, take a swim and then kick-back on the native-stone pool patio, reached by a wide stairway from the deck. Here is a lovely blue-hued pool, surrounded by mature tropical gardens and visited by hummingbirds, Tortola doves, and Caribbean bananaquits. Pool loungers with shade umbrella and a refrigerated drinks cooler invite lazy poolside hours. Pick some garden flowers for the dining table or bedrooms.
