The villa's interior is spacious and welcoming, with a light, neutral decor, handsome furnishings, and large double doors and windows that ensure the rooms are flooded with plenty of natural light.

The outdoor areas here at Bequia Estate Villa are no less impressive and include an incredible wrap-around terrace, which is fully furnished and undoubtedly the place to sit back and take in those magical views. The villa also features a covered dining terrace for enjoying alfresco meals, a cabana lounge area for chilling out and enjoying after-dinner drinks, and a private sun deck with luxurious loungers - ideal for when you want to top up your tan! When it’s time to cool off, Bequia Estate Villa has you covered, thanks to its private infinity pool, which is large enough for the kids’ inflatables and is easily accessible via steps and a handrail.

The prestigious island of Bequia (pronounced Beckway) is a little piece of paradise located sixty miles north of St. Lucia and nine miles from its ‘parent’ island of St. Vincent. The island is considered something of a hidden gem in the Caribbean, where life moves at a slow, luxurious pace and where visitors get to embrace an old-school, beachy vibe. Oliver recommends leaving the glitz and glamour at home and thinking ‘beachy and boho’ as you enjoy white, sugary-sand beaches, swaying palms, and main streets lined with colourful shops and restaurants. Bequia Estate Villa is situated just a few steps from Friendship Beach, a spectacular horseshoe-shaped stretch of powdery white sand that is popular with those staying on this side of the island. Quiet and private, the beach is a fabulous location for snorkelling, swimming and long, lazy walks, and nearby amenities include the exquisite Bagatelle Grill and at the Bequia Beach Hotel, where you’ll also find luxurious spa facilities. You can’t visit the island of Bequia without visiting the main town of Port Elizabeth, a charming spot where you’ll find a colourful fruit and veg market, quaint shops, and restaurants - including the ‘world’s prettiest Pizza Hut’. From here, visitors can enjoy one of the Caribbean’s most scenic walks along the waterfront Belmont Walkway to Princess Margaret Beach. This fifteen-minute stroll is ‘doable’ for all ages, so slap some sunscreen on the kids and watch the boats bob on the harbour as you head along the powdery sands to Jack’s Beach Bar, where you can enjoy all-day beach chair rental. Oliver recommends sampling some local cuisine during your stay - the crisp-fried ballyhoo (a sardine-like fish) is particularly delicious! Bequia is an island famous for its boat-building and whaling heritage, so be sure to visit the boat museum and find out all about the practices which are still carried out here today using age-old non-mechanical methods. If you have any keen hikers among you (and plenty of water and sun cream!), why not trek to Bequia’s highest point of Ma Peggy’s Rock? It’s a 90-minute hike, but the views over Admiralty Bay towards Mustique, Petit Nevis and St. Vincent make it well worth it - be sure to have your camera handy!
