Grenadine One

Description

Situated in a premium island location and showcasing stunning 180-degree views of the Southern Grenadines stands Grenadine One - the ultimate in private Caribbean island accommodation. Overlooking the glittering azure waters of Friendship Bay, this luxurious six-bedroom villa offers guests a unique and memorable stay on the island of Bequia, one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets. Contemporary and stylish throughout, Grenadine One features a light, neutral decor of fresh cream, taupe and ivory. This classic colour palette is complemented beautifully by the natural materials that are used throughout the villa, from the wooden beamed ceilings and floors to the handsomely-crafted wooden furnishings. The internal living area offers guests ample room for relaxation, a stunning lounge area complete with sumptuous cream sofas, and an indoor breakfast room that accommodates up to eight guests. Both rooms feature incredible views of crystal blue waters and island landscapes, providing a perfect setting for kicking back with a good book on a lazy afternoon or enjoying a morning cuppa as you drink in your magnificent surroundings. Grenadine One’s kitchen is equally modern and stylish, featuring high-end appliances and additional indoor dining space. Whether you’re catering for yourselves during your stay or making use of the villa’s chef service, you’ll find plenty of space for preparing and enjoying meals as a family - and there’s also a handy wine cellar, so you’ll be able to find just the right tipple to toast your holiday! The villa’s neutral, contemporary decor and style continues into each of the six bedrooms, all of which feature soft, comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms, and exquisite views. There’s a room here to suit everyone, from king-size suites featuring a living area and private terrace for those who want more space and privacy to a king and twin room that can be combined to create a separate apartment with its own private kitchen. This unique configuration of rooms makes Grenadine One a wonderful accommodation choice for two or more couples/families holidaying together, with the twin rooms being a great addition for those travelling with older children or teens. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors and spacious covered patios and terraces make the flow from indoor to outdoor living seamless here at this luxury villa. The large alfresco dining area easily accommodates up to twelve guests and offers a great space to wind down and relax with family and friends at the end of a busy day. You’ll find plenty of space on the soft lawns to sunbathe, as well as some beautiful shaded areas to enjoy, but it is Grenadine One’s incredible pool and adjoining terrace that will take your breath away! The large terrace overlooks a stunning 35ft infinity pool and the glittering blue of the bay beyond. The pool features a shallow, child-friendly area and is easily accessible via steps, making it easy for guests of all ages and abilities to get in and out of the water. After enjoying a delicious meal on the dining terrace, Oliver recommends fixing yourself a drink and heading to one of the luxurious poolside loungers to take in the show-stopping views of this island paradise - pure bliss!

Grenadine One is located on the prestigious island of Bequia (pronounced Beckway), sixty miles north of St. Lucia and nine miles from its ‘parent’ island, 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 colourful main streets lined with colourful shops and restaurants. There are a handful of small hotels on the island, with the most popular being the Bequia Beach Hotel, and here you’ll find a spa, swimming pools and restaurants. The hotel truly is the only real resort on the island, although if you don’t mind a short walk to Princess Margaret beach, you’ll find the Six-bedroom Gingerbread Hotel, which boasts its own pier and waterfront cafe, as well as offering visitors easy access to the town and other beaches. 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!
