Location

The villa is located in the exclusive region of Glacis where Ian Fleming got the inspiration for his book For Your Eyes Only. The area is known for its abundant sandy beaches, coral reefs and tropical vegetation.

Situated less than a five minute walk from the beach, Villa 139 looks out over all it surveys from the tip of a small, rocky peninsula. The unobstructed 180-degree views take in two distant islands, a pair of bays situated on either side of the villa, a front landscape of ancient granite boulders descending to the azure waters and a small, secluded cove a short swim away.

In front of the villa and framing the view of the sea is Villa 139's dramatic centrepiece and focal point: a 60 square metre infinity pool. Surrounded by loungers and giving onto multiple levels of wooden decking, it’s one of those rare places where time can stand still as you lie back and listen to the waves lapping on the rocks.

The villa is surrounded by 1600 square metres of lush, well-maintained tropical gardens. The perimeters are fringed with attractive floral margins and, in places, by fruit-bearing tropical trees such as avocado, bananas, chillies, patole, paw paw, red coconuts, citronelle and lime – all of which of course, make their way to the dining table.

From the gardens there’s direct access down to the sea via a gentle flight of steps, where you can swim, go kayaking or snorkelling, or even lazily cast a line out to try to catch a fish or two. If even that sounds too much like hard work, you can just sit and watch the fishermen hauling in the catch of the day on their colourful boats or our resident dolphin pod playing in the waves.

In terms of parking at Villa 139, there’s space in the drive for up to four cars.

Vibrant Beau Vallon bay with its many restaurants, bars and local markets, is a stone’s throw away. The capital Victoria and the airport can be reached within 20 minutes.
