Indigo, Mustique

Positioned to enjoy, not only peace and privacy, but also both the Atlantic dawn and Caribbean sunset, this stylish house is centred on serenity. Nestled amid rolling hills and tropical greenery, the villa is built around a huge reflecting pool, splashed with a knife-edge waterfall and scented with jasmine borders. In an excellent layout for two couples or a family with older children, the villa’s main building houses a double and a twin bedroom, along with the smartly furnished living and dining rooms, which each have double aspects, inward to the courtyard and out to the gardens.

The intimate master suite occupies a separate cottage in the grounds, set just above an entertainment room, the infinity-edge swimming pool, and its ocean-view sundeck and lawns. A pergola terrace here is perfect for al fresco breakfasts and leisurely lunches, prepared by the cook, and a five minute walk down a forest path leads to the pristine shores of Pasture Bay. To up the tempo a little, Indigo is about a twelve minute drive from livelier attractions, including tennis and water sports.
