TORTOLA
A world class private villa with an ambiance and amenities that appeal to sophisticated travelers. New 1,300sq. ft. marble deck and hot tub with panoramic views of 13 spectacular islands from every room. Wonderful large swimming pool and gracious gardens.
The rare natural beauty and surroundings of Arundel Villa melt away the hustle and bustle of busy living and allow you, once again, to live in harmony with nature.
Surrounded by palm trees, orchids, hibiscus, bourgainvillea, gardenias and birds-of-paradise, the professionally landscaped grounds command spectacular panoramic ocean views.
Looking out across the horizon from Cane Garden Bay, your eyes sweep past the mountains of Tortola in the west, to St. Johns and St. Thomas, across the Sir Francis Drake Channel, to thirteen more British and U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Three Pavilions of Arundel villa consist of three separate buildings interconnected by terraced decks and marble tiled walkways. The villa's pavilions encompass 4,000 square feet of living space, and feature gleaming mahogany hardwood, Tico marble tiled floors, and hand-crafted natural stone walls.
Every room in the villa has its own private balcony overlooking the ocean where you can watch the passing boats and acrobatic pelicans.
The villa' s architectural ingenuity and position of each unit captures the trade winds. In addition, each room, ceiling fans provide constant circulation as soft tropical breezes flow through the villa year-round.
You will be pampered in complete privacy on one and one-half acres of fenced property, and you will see no other houses nearby. Or, you can enjoy Cane Garden Bay and Brewer's Bay, two of the world's most beautiful beaches just five short minutes from Arundel.
The Main House of the villa, in the center of the complex, contains a spacious living room furnished with elegant elephant bamboo sofas, chairs and tables from Bali, antique chests from Korea, lovely Asian bird and floral prints, and even a colorful 18-foot oriental dragon high up in the cathedral ceiling. Chinese porcelain vases and original antiques accent each room.
From the extensive 500 CD collection, you can listen to the music of your choice. Indoor and outdoor speakers assure hours of soothing music throughout the living room, dining room, swimming pool and deck areas.
In the dining room, a large glass-topped table supported by four stone warriors easily seats ten people comfortably in Chinese Chippendale chairs. The music room is graced by an ebony baby grand piano for your enjoyment, and a wet bar with ice maker. A powder room is conveniently located off the entrance foyer.
Our fully-equipped gourmet kitchen contains a professional Viking stove, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and a complete range of appliances. Through French doors the open deck is complemented with contemporary patio furniture. Delicate wind chimes capture soft breezes. Comfortable lounge chairs and a hot-tub Jacuzzi provide lazy relaxation.
From the deck, jump into our spacious L-shaped swimming pool lined with custom-made Californian wave tiles and surrounded by a lush garden, in the midst of which sits a 17th century laughing Buddha stone statue. Nearby, a fountain splashes down a natural rock wall. The pool is equipped with an automatic ionizing filtration system that purifies the water with little chlorine. Swim all day under sunny skies and at night under a romantic canopy of millions of twinkling stars. A portable telephone, chaise lounges and floats are available, and a gas grill allows for casual outdoor barbecues.
On one side of the Main House are the Guest House suites, including Arundel's Frangipani Suite. Each of their screened bedrooms has air-conditioning, cable TV, VCR, refrigerator, luggage rack and spacious closets. Both rooms are furnished with Balinese bamboo beds (two four- poster queen and two twins) and are decorated with original Haitian and Caribbean paintings, and even a hand-made Voodoo tapestry. In each room, you can curl up in one of our terry-cloth robes on your private deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail at dusk while watching incredible sunsets that fill the skies with rich blazes of color.
On the other side of the Main House, across the swimming pool, is the Master Bedroom Suite, Arundel's Orchard Suite with air-conditioning, four-poster queen sized bed, bamboo writing desk, custom-made bookcases and full entertainment unit (Cable TV, VCR, CD, radio and tape deck). Adjoining the bedroom is an elegant Japanese reading room which features tatami mat floors, oriental art and sliding shoji screens. There is a large mirrored bathroom with double sinks and a shower set in the midst of a lovely outdoor Japanese garden.
We have an excellent library, a wide selection of videos (classics, musicals and new releases) and a wide selection of games located in the Master Suite. For further relaxation, a professional massage table is available so you can enjoy a massage from one of Tortola's outstanding massage therapists who will come to the house by appointment.
You will be met at Beef Island Airport or the ferry dock (via St. Thomas and St Johns) where we will assist you with car rental, maps, and escort you to Arundel Villa.
