Hardly even really a ‘villa’, Tingalayo is situated on 4 private acres of land and spread over 7 interwoven pavilions creating the ultimate feeling of luxury, privacy and freedom.
A truly unique and totally breath-taking property, the villa perches in a privileged position in the West End of Tortola. Sat atop a mountain, you’ll have stunning panoramic views over the nearby beaches, surrounding islands (you can even see Puerto Rico on a clear day) and the azure Caribbean ocean.
With 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 2 pools, 4 dining areas, 2 kitchens, a gym, a pool table, a yoga deck and sooo much more, it doesn’t seem likely that you’ll want to spend much time away from Tingalayo. However, it’s only 10 minutes drive from the various white sand beaches, laid back beach-bars, ocean-front restaurants and world-class surfing spots that Tortola has to offer.
As we said, Tingalayo is not really a ‘villa’, it’s more an experience.
THE PROPERTY (left to right)
Designed with a Balinese style, a feeling of total zen washes over you as you walk around the property and with a 6ft Buddha watching over the pavilions, it’s clear that the space was designed with peace and calm in mind. The description of the villas goes from left to right of the picture above.
1)THE UPPER GARDENS
The upper gardens are home to the buddha, a bocce/cornhole area and a pagoda with spectacular views. This is the perfect zen spot for yoga, meditation or just enjoying a morning coffee.
2) SPA DECKS
Two wooden decks on the very northern edge of the property are idyllic spots for yoga or to relax and watch the boats sailing past. You’ll find a jacuzzi, plenty of comfy and sociable seating and lounging areas and of course, sweeping ocean and Island views.
3) COQUI SUITE: Tingalayo’s most private bedroom, the Coqui Suite is in its own separate pavilion accessed through a garden next to the games room. You’ll find a king-sized canopy bed, a large ensuite bathroom with double sinks and walk-in shower and ocean views. Adjoined to the Coqui suite are the Spa decks.
4) GAMES ROOM
Sandwiched between The Coqui Suite and the Great House is a fun games room, complete with wall-mounted TV with lots of movies to choose from, puzzles, games and a courtyard with outdoor pool table. You’ll find another private deck to relax and enjoy the view on.
5) THE GREAT HOUSE
The great house is the ‘main’ and largest pavilion, making for the perfect spot for gathering your party. The space is sociable and open plan, blending the comfy living room, indoor dining area and spacious kitchen into one. The living room is a cosy area for moment of downtime with squashy sofas, a large TV and lots of books. The kitchen is fully equipped for a large group with 2 full-sized refrigerator/freezers, a commercial gas range, 2 dishwashers, a pantry and a spacious breakfast bar. Whether it’s yourself or a chef doing the catering, you’ll have everything you need for a slap-up meal.
6) THE GREAT HOUSE EXTERIOR
This all leads out onto the large, covered porches of the Great House. You’ll find comfy loungers and chairs, an outdoor grill, sweeping ocean views with your crystal infinity pool is just round the corner. The Great House also has a dining pavilion which is covered but open on the sides to the ocean breezes. Again, fully equipped for anything you might need, there’s room to seat 12 comfortably, 2 wine fridges and spacious sideboards for serving.

7) POOL DECK
The 45ft infinity pool is at the heart of the property, sandwiched between The Great House and Dorado bedroom. With plenty of cushioned loungers, a shaded alfresco dining area and a 180 degree view of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, it’s the perfect place to watch the yachts sail by and the sun sink below the horizon.
8) DORADO & FLAMINGO: The other side of the pool from the Great House is the next pavilion housing 3 of the bedrooms – Dorado, Flamingo and Turtle Suite. Dorado offers a king-sized bed with ocean views and shares a hallway and a choice of 2 bathrooms with Flamingo. Both have showers but one also has a small bathing tub for children and double sinks. Flamingo also offers an ocean view and a king-sized bed although this can also be made up as two twins. It also has access to a sheltered garden area.
9) TURTLE SUITE: The Turtle Suite is its own private oasis and is accessed by a wraparound deck from the infinity pool. The seating area is a lovely space for reading a book and savouring the views. Inside the suite, you’ll find a king-sized canopy bed, a separate dressing area, and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and both indoor and outdoor showers.
10) PARKING/THE GYM
Working out is a lot better when you have a view of the Caribbean ocean. Just next to the Turtle Suite, you’ll find a building with yoga equipment, an elliptical, a rowing machine and free weights. Under and adjacent to the building is covered parking for 2 vehicles and there’s additional parking in the forecourt.
11) THE GUEST HOUSE
The guest house is accessed a sunlight-filled stroll down a flight of steps and is located just past the gym. The ground floor has its own living areas, with a light and airy living room with TV and plenty of books and games flowing into a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar. There’s also a full bathroom which one of the bedrooms can choose to make their own. All of these sociable and stylish areas open out to a wonderful outdoor area, described below.
12) GECKO & PELICAN
On the first floor of the Guest House you’ll find two tropical bedrooms. Gecko has a king-sized bed and stunning ocean views. Pelican’s bed can be made up as either a king-size or two twins and also enjoys wonderful views. There is a breezy balcony that can be accessed from the upstairs foyer for both of these bedrooms to enjoy. There is also one full bathroom on the second floor with double sinks and walk-in shower. The other is on the ground floor.
13) THE GUEST HOUSE EXTERIOR
The Guest House has its very own outdoor dining and lounging areas with the added bonus of a crystal plunge pool! There’s a covered patio living room with ample comfy seating and an outdoor grill. Try throwing some local Anegada lobster on the grill and enjoy it from the alfresco dining area. And if you need some cooling off, the small but deep plunge pool is calling your name.
ON YOUR DOORSTEP
The very handy Soper’s Hole Marina is 10mins drive away and here you’ll find West End Ferry Terminal (where you can catch boats to fellow British Virgin Island Jost Van Dyke and US Virgin Islands St John and St Thomas) and a great selection of restaurants, a well-stocked grocery store, boat charter companies, shops and more.
Apple Bay, a little village with world-class surf and a handful of bars and restaurants (Sebastian’s Seaside Grille, Sugar Mill, Tramonti) for all occasions is also just 10 mins by car.
Long Bay is a 12min drive and there you’ll find a mile-long stretch of white sand and turquoise waters and a selection of beachfront refreshment options – 1748 Restaurant, Tropical Fusion, Johnny’s Beach Bar and 1748 Coffee Shop. If you’re feeling energetic there’s Long Bay Beach Resort’s Tennis and Pickleball courts. A day pass will buy you hours of fun!
Smuggler’s Cove (17min drive) is an idyllic beach, perfectly sheltered by its vibrant reef which provides sensational snorkeling and is home to Patricia’s laid-back beach bar.
