Hidden within 4.78 acres (1.93 hectares) of tropical gardens on Jumby Bay Island, White Cove is the private Caribbean retreat of one of the world’s most celebrated fashion designers. While the owner’s identity remains discreet, the estate’s refined interiors and emphasis on privacy reflect a creative figure who has shaped global style for decades.
The seven-bedroom residence unfolds as a collection of connected pavilions rather than a single imposing structure, set just steps from a private crescent of white sand and turquoise Caribbean water.
The sale of White Cove, available at Price Upon Request, is being handled by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate. Founded by Marina Rizzotto in 2010 as Palazzo Estate, the firm is now part of the global Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network and specializes in high-end villas, apartments, and residential properties.
White Cove: Pavilion Architecture Designed for Privacy
The estate is conceived as a series of open living spaces that blend into the tropical landscape, balancing seclusion with a genuine sense of openness.
The Great Room and Seven Private Suites
At the heart of the estate is the Great Room, where living and dining areas open onto large terraces overlooking the sea. The adjacent kitchen completes a layout conceived for entertaining. Spanning approximately 15,799 square feet (1,468 sqm), the residence is arranged so that each space captures natural light, tropical breezes, and open views of either the Caribbean Sea or the surrounding botanical gardens.
The seven bedroom suites and seven bathrooms are distributed across the pavilions to maximize privacy. The owner’s Beachfront Main Suite sits just steps from the sand, while a separate Lagoon Pool Main Suite offers a second principal retreat. Beachfront Guest Suites, Lagoon Pool Guest Suites, and garden accommodations surrounding the pool provide independent quarters for family and guests.
Lagoon Pool and Resort-Caliber Grounds
Beyond the Great Room, a freshwater lagoon-style swimming pool forms the centerpiece of the grounds. Framed by royal palms and tropical gardens, it is complemented by the Lagoon Pool Dining pavilion, creating a setting reminiscent of some of the world’s finest private resorts. The layout lends itself to intimate dinners, sunset receptions overlooking the sea, and relaxed afternoons by the water.
Practical elements are integrated discreetly into the landscape, including a private fitness room, a dedicated cart port, staff areas, service facilities, and golf-cart garages.
Jumby Bay Island: Private Island Living off Antigua
Ownership at White Cove extends well beyond the estate’s boundaries, granting access to an exclusive private island community in the Caribbean.
A Car-Free Island Community
Jumby Bay Island is car-free, with residents traveling by golf cart or bicycle along palm-lined paths. The island lies just minutes by private boat from Antigua’s international airport, offering straightforward access for international owners.
Residents enjoy the island’s full range of services, including fine dining, tennis courts, a fitness center, a spa, a kids’ club, marina facilities, concierge services, private security, and five-star hospitality.
A Protected Beach on the Caribbean Sea
The estate’s defining asset is its setting. A crescent of white sand and protected turquoise waters lie directly in front of the residence, providing calm conditions for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling from the property’s own beach. Further out, the clear waters surrounding Antigua open up opportunities for sailing across the Caribbean Sea.
Daily life here follows a slower rhythm, from morning walks along the private shoreline to breakfast overlooking the shifting shades of the sea, reinforcing the sense of seclusion that sets White Cove apart.
White Cove: A Rare Caribbean Legacy Estate
White Cove brings together architectural pedigree, creative provenance, and privacy on one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive private islands. With seven suites, a lagoon-style pool, and direct access to a protected white-sand beach, the estate will suit buyers seeking a legacy property shaped by one of the world’s great creative visionaries.
