Allamanda Estate, Tortola

Allamanda Estate Allamanda Estate's four bedroom rate for this beautiful Tortola villa high on a hilltop amongst lush tropical gardens in Little Mountain Estate. This estate was previously the British Governor's official BVI residence. The tiled formal entry hall leads to the traditional drawing room, elegantly-furnished with sink-into sofas and chairs, the large kitchen, the formal dining room, the large air-conditioned king master bedroom with an ensuite bath, and a smaller bedroom/bath with twins (or one king, if you wish), and finally to a sweeping native stone terrace framed by wide arches and tropical foliage and overlooking Beef Island's south side and beyond. On the other side, the hallway opens to the pool and fountain, beautifully set like jewels within a stone and tile terrace and bordered with graceful palms and island flora. On one end of the pool terrace is a shady covered verandah furnished with wicker for reading and relaxation and tables for casual dining and games. Allamanda House's guest pavilion is adjacent to the pool verandah, ensuring guests' privacy and comfort, and offers two spacious, air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites with a convenient small kitchenette between them. The hallway offers a home office desk complete with a desktop computer with internet access and fax machine. Original artwork and potted plants enhance this villa's gracious charm. Allamanda Estate is the grand dame of villas, offering old-world charm and quiet seclusion, but you may explore old plantation ruins nearby, or continue to Long Bay Beach below, only a few minutes' drive away. It's also an ideal location for weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries and family get-togethers. You may also arrange for your own private chef, nanny, massages and day-spa services.
