Villa Nicobar, Galley Bay Heights, Saint John's, Antigua

Villa Nicobar is located within the private, gated community, of Galley Bay Heights, on the west coast of Antigua. The development looks down over the white sands of Long Bay, Fort Barrington National Park, and even an old shipwreck can be seen from above. The area, known as Five Islands, is renowned for having some of the best beaches on the island.

Entering the spacious reception room, the expansive view of turquoise waters is the first thing you see. Raised ceilings and a wall of bi-folding doors lead you out to a large terrace, which wraps around the infinity pool. The fully fitted open plan kitchen benefits from granite work tops, a quality stainless steel range, and high end appliances throughout.

The principal suite is generous, with a walk in wardrobe, large en-suite with rain shower and access to the terrace. There are three further, well proportioned double bedrooms, all with en-suite and all with full sea views and their own outside area. Like all well designed properties of its calibre, there is full laundry and staff accommodation on the lower level.

The white sands of Galley Bay beach are only a short walk, and the airport with direct flights to many destinations, is reachable in under 30 minutes.
