Originally built in the 1960s, the estate is a tropical paradise featuring Caribbean architecture from noted architect Larry Warren, who reimagined the interiors by London-based designer Emma Pearson for a blend of timeless style and modern luxury.
Central to the estate is the Great House, a hub of indulgence and entertainment with its private gym, cinema, formal dining spaces and striking Art Deco bar. Included with the experience is the use of a luxury SUV and golf cart, perfect for navigating the sprawling property and nearby amenities. Guests will appreciate a wide range of services from a dedicated team, including concierge, chef, butler, housekeeping and private security.
