Space
🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
Decorated with high-end minimalist furniture, the villa manages to perfectly create a welcoming & relaxing feeling whilst still being uncluttered and luxurious. The indoor and outside areas flow together seamlessly with huge glass sliding doors - usually left open to welcome the ocean breeze.
Going through the wooden gate signifies leaving the rest of the world behind you and entering your very own tropical paradise. You'll arrive at the open-plan living room and kitchen with views that are a breathtaking backdrop for both cooking and relaxing. The stylish fully-equipped kitchen and its stainless steel appliances mean you're totally covered for self-catering. The kitchen island with high stools is a pretty idyllic spot to be able to prepare your meals as well as an informal dining option in addition to the fabulous alfresco dining area. The indoor seating area completes the villa - kick back and watch the SmartTV or chat over a cool drink as music plays in the background and the waves roll below. Those huge glass sliding doors that we mentioned open this area to the outside although you also have the option to close up and turn on the AC in the summer heat.
🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1, 2 & 3) Three bedrooms are spaced throughout the villa and of similar size making it perfect for 3 couples to share without there being a "primary suite". Each is light, airy and modern and furnished with a queen size bed, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and expansive glass sliding doors for awe-inspiring views any time of day. Each also has a private porch to enjoy a morning coffee, evening cocktail or just a quiet read.
☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
As you follow the path to the villa, you'll peak glimpses of the view through the lush foliage, only to be wowed as you step down to the main deck that wraps across the front of the villa. The beach view really is breath-taking on any day of the year, in any weather...it feels a secret bay far from the real world.
The infinity pool is perfection, whether fully immersed or sitting on the edge to cool off with your feet swinging back and forth. Sun-loungers as well as cushioned bench-style sofas offer relaxing seating options, as well as occasional chairs dotted further along the deck.
A large built-in propane BBQ is the perfect addition to your covered alfresco dining area. Grilling a local lobster whilst the sun sinks over the bay below ... it doesn't get much more blissful than that.

Neighborhood
Ventana nestles into a lower lot closer to sea-level than most villas in this prestigious and well-maintained estate overlooking Trunk Bay on the North side of Tortola. The villas are dotted around on large lots maintaining privacy for all.
🏝️TRUNK BAY (on your doorstep)
One of Tortola's most beautiful and unspoilt beaches, you won't find much here other than white sands, crystal blue waters and the sound of the waves. It's a short but steep/bumpy walk down the hillside track.
🍸🍴🛒🛍️⛴️ ROAD TOWN (3.1 miles away)
Here, you'll have a choice of great restaurants, bars & coffee shops (Capriccio's, Lady Sarah's, Dragonfly, The Dove, Botella and Island Roots are some our faves), the Road Town ferry terminal which you can catch boats to Virgin Gorda & St Thomas, and plenty of shops for souvenirs (try Nutmeg & Co and EC Soap Co for locally made products and gifts). You'll also find our largest grocery stores here (Riteway Pasea Estate and OneMart Superstore) plus specialty food stores like Steakation and The French Deli.
🏄♀️🍺JOSIAH'S BAY (4.4 miles away)
offers amazing surf for both beginners and pros and is home to BVI Surf School where you can rent a board or book a lesson. There's also a couple of low-key beach bars for a cold beer and a snack here too.
🏖️ 🛒💃 🍴CANE GARDEN BAY (5.9 miles away)
The buzziest beach on island, you'll find a whole variety of Restaurants and Bars (Indigo Beach House, Elms, Paradise Bar, Myett's plus many more) lining the water. You'll also find a small grocery store, a white sand beach with calm swimming and options for watersports and Callwood's Rum Distillery. *all these amenities mean that the cruise ship passengers come here, so look online for the "BVI cruise ship schedule" to avoid the busier days.

Transit
✈️ TERRANCE B. LETTSOME (EIS) (6.5 miles away)
is on Beef Island in the East End of Tortola (connected by bridge). It’s the only airport on Tortola and where you'll fly into.
⛴️ROAD TOWN FERRY HARBOUR (3.1 miles away)
The closest place to catch a ferry to connect you to the US Virgin Islands (St Thomas) and other British Virgin Islands (Virgin Gorda & Anegada)
🚗 Although there are ferries to connect you to other islands, the public transport in Tortola is basically non-existent and there’s so much to go and see but taxis add up quickly. Tortola is only 12 miles long by 3 miles at its widest, but it’s a mountainous island and the roads can be quite rugged. We can help you to reserve a 4WD SUV or direct you to recommended local car rental companies who understand that good 4WD vehicles are mandatory to explore with confidence. They can offer delivery to your port of entry or villa (we can help organise you a taxi to take you to the property) & carry a selection of cars & jeeps. Jerry's Car Rental is our favourite and the easiest car rental company to work with online.
