Ridgemont House for luxury, privacy & relaxation

The definition of Caribbean luxury. Sitting high on the ridge overlooking the Caribbean Sea on one side & the Atlantic on the other, the 1.8 acre compound has truly spectacular views of our neighbouring islands. The prestigious location, expansive plot & amenity-packed property might mean you don't need to venture out much, but 2 white-sand beaches & a handful of beachfront bars & restaurants are within 10mins. Our team at Villas of Tortola would love to welcome you! The space **PLEASE NOTE** The Christmas / New Year rates are formatted differently to the default template on the booking platforms.

The view from here is simply stunning. You can enjoy the game on the 60" flat screen TV or your music on the Sonos sound system from the ample supply of squashy sofas. The glass dining table offers an indoor dining option, although we think you're going to want to go outside for that... The Great Room opens into the fully equipped kitchen appointed with quartz counter tops and high quality Viking cooking appliances. You'll find everything you need here for self-catering, more than enough workspace and a central island/breakfast bar with high stools for enjoying quick bites to eat. An air conditioned office located off the Great Room allows for a discreet conference call or a bit of work, if you must. Wifi is available throughout the villa -just bring your own laptop or portable device. An Epson printer is also at your disposal. 🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: No arguing over bedrooms necessary, as all five of the luxuriously decorated bedrooms feature high ceilings, large windows and patios or balconies that frame glimmering views of the Caribbean Sea or the Atlantic. Each provides a king-size bed (alternatively up to two rooms can be converted to XL-twins), 40" flat screen television & bluetooth connected sound system. All bedrooms have en-suites and one has a tub as well as shower for washing off a day at the beach. For maximum privacy, one of the bedrooms (COLUMBUS) offers all the features of a self-sufficient flat, including an eat-in kitchenette complete with stove, microwave and refrigerator.

Pull up a lounger and catch some rays on the expansive deck alongside the elegant infinity edge pool, or lounge in the shade of the veranda's comfy and spacious al fresco seating area. The convenient guest bathroom, changing room and shower is also just off the deck. You'll find a large propane BBQ poolside, which is perfect for grilling up a local Anegada lobster and enjoying it from the covered outdoor dining area. The views from here are just breathtaking - looking out along the coastline and across to Jost Van Dyke and its surrounding cays with a gentle ocean breeze is just blissful. It's a really magical spot to sit with friends & family and enjoy a meal together or listen to some music through the Sonos sound system. To get above it all, head to the colorful gazebo high atop the ridge for a cocktail with friends, or some downtime & a quiet snooze in the hammock. Another incredible viewpoint, this is where I'd be going to watch those famous fiery BVI sunsets lighting up the skies. Guest access Guests have sole access to the entire property.
