Villa Description

Villa Ohana ( the Hawaiian word for family rest-house) is a unique tropical 4 bedroom villa in Tobago, built in 2002, and has to be seen to be believed. It is perched high on the hillside, in over an acre of land, at end of a small sandy cove. Although not strictly a private beach, access is very limited, but Villa Ohana guests have exclusive use of the steps through the garden. The extensive and dramatic views of the Atlantic can be enjoyed from all areas of this special peaceful haven, an ideal place to escape to with family and friends.

The vast living room is open to the bay, allowing ocean breezes to work their relaxing charms, but simply wind down the cream canvas shutters to provide restful shade for a snooze on the over-sized teak day beds, filled with plump cushions and bolsters. Four teak upright armchairs also recline fully to allow you to relax completely and the house is stocked with board games, videos and a selection of cds for times when the view alone is not enough.

The kitchen is delightful, open and breezy, with two large ceiling fans and Demerara windows on sticks which open to give a view of the perfect little beach below. It is fully equipped with a double-door stainless steel fridge with filtered water and ice making facility; a large stainless steel gas cooker – and of course a dishwasher. To one side is an open-air barbecue area and on the other a pantry and a utility room with large washing and drying machines.

The master bedroom and its huge en-suite bathroom have shuttered windows which open out so that you can shower, take a bath or lounge in the teak four-poster bed whilst watching pelicans fishing in the turquoise Atlantic.

Bedroom 2 has its own veranda, which seems to float over a fish-filled lily pond. It opens out to the gazebo, Jacuzzi and two infinity pools – one deep and the other shallow.

Bedroom 3 has a small private terrace overlooking the pond and gazebo.

Bedroom 4 has twin teak four poster beds (converting to a double four-poster if preferred) and opens out onto a courtyard, a delightful and private tranquil oasis surrounding by clumps of rustling bamboo.

2 housekeepers (live-out) look after the running of the house and will do as much or as little shopping and cooking as you require. Cooking of breakfast inclusive other meals on request can be prepared in a similar way and are charged at approx 20 US dollars per meal.

Villa Ohana can be rented for 2 people or up to 8 - lower occupancy prices available on request
