Rambutan

Rambutan is located in Nail Bay, Northwest, Virgin Gorda. (more photos)

Built with elegant touches of Asian influence, this sleek and sophisticated beach house is tucked away in its own private cove within gorgeous landscaping and trees - all romantically lighted at night - and enhanced by the relaxing lapping of waves on the property's sandy beach just below. Two pavilions, separated by an entryway courtyard, are distinguished by delicate architecture, smooth bamboo and cool tile floors, state-of-the art halogen lighting (and so rare in the BVI, a wireless internet connection for your laptop), and handcrafted woodwork. This refined villa's layout flows so nicely.

Rambutan's main house features an open-plan gourmet kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and a living area set with plush sofa and chairs around the media center. Glass slider doors along three full sides of this pavilion open to the oval swimming pool right outside; all of this is surrounded by lovely landscaping and a lawn. Stone steps lead gently down to sand, sea, snorkeling, kayaking and private sunbathing. Upstairs, there are two equal-sized air-conditioned king suites, one with a jacuzzi tub and the other with a spacious couple's shower. A continuous covered verandah overlooking the beach and sea is accessed via glass slider doors from either bedroom suite.

The second air-conditioned pavilion is perfect for nanny and children; an L-shaped space accommodates a twin bedroom and a king bedroom; these are joined by a large bath in the center featuring glass mosaic tiling and a large glass-enclosed shower.

Rambutan is just a short 10-15 minute drive to Spanish Town, but its ambience is light-years away from hurry and worry. Private and tranquil in its magnificent natural setting, Rambutan is both a wonderful romantic home, and a great beach vacation setting for families. Highly recommended.
