GESTALT – Luxurious 4 bedroom villa with pool & dock at exclusive Steele Point Estate
Just. Wow.
Dramatically perched on a headland in the exclusive Steele Point Estate, Gestalt’s panoramic views of the glimmering Caribbean ocean & islands Little Thatch & St John are second to none
Tucked away in a tropical secret garden with all the luxury amenities you could ever hope for, it may be hard to leave. However, the stores, bars, restaurants & spas of Soper’s Hole are just a mile away. It really is paradise.

🛋️ LIVING AREAS:
Gestalt really is one of a kind. The luxurious but understated materials & decor, and use of gently sweeping curves create an elegant flow. It feels as if you are floating around this property, with each room seamlessly blending into the next.
Gestalt is the embodiment of open-air living, and the 2 ‘indoor’ generous and comfortable lounge areas are covered, but the sides are open to the azure views and soundscapes of tree frogs & tropical birds.
The kitchen also allows the ocean breezes in through its glassless windows & is fully equipped with top-end appliances (including BBQ Grill) for making slap-up dinners. You can enjoy the meals from a variety of places: the sociable breakfast bar which separates the lounge room from the kitchen, the picture-perfect dining area just outside the kitchen (again, covered but open on the sides, the views are particularly incredible up here), or the ridiculously romantic stone entrance courtyard.
🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
The bedroom wing offers 3 king bedrooms and 1 queen, each with its own en suite bathroom and private outdoor shower for the ultimate Caribbean experience. Brushing your teeth whilst gazing at the ocean never get old.
All bedrooms are air-conditioned and decorated elegantly but simply in fresh light colours with exotic woods and pops of colourful artwork and soft furnishings.
☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
A true paradise, Gestalt is set within a beautifully tended garden of lush tropical flowers and fruit trees. Spending your days surrounded by such beauty is a gift for the soul.
Gestalt’s fabulous (and spacious) pool and BBQ deck overlook the glistening channel towards Little Thatch and St John beyond. It’s a fabulous boat-watching spot as they drift in and out of Soper’s Hole Marina below. A private path leads the inquisitive explorer to a private dock (shared with neighbouring Blackbeard’s Hideaway) where you can snorkel and swim along the craggy coast. Like we said, it’s one of a kind.
Guests have sole access to the entire property.

⛵ SOPER’S HOLE MARINA, LIGHTHOUSE MARINA & NANNY CAY MARINA
Arriving by boat & looking for dock space? Try these marinas nearby.
🚗 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 14 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.
