Outdoor Spaces and Living

The private waterfront patio extends the living space into the Caribbean atmosphere. French doors from the ground floor open directly onto this terrace, where a generous seating area and sun loungers face the water. The marina view from this vantage point showcases hundreds of moored yachts and sailboats—a constantly shifting seascape of white hulls and rigging against sparkling blue water. Morning coffee here becomes a ritual; evening drinks transform into meditation. The terrace accommodates outdoor dining furniture and provides direct access to the development’s waterfront boardwalk.

Shared facilities within the Harbour development include a substantial communal swimming pool positioned at the complex’s heart. The pool features Roman steps for gradual entry, accessible sun terraces surrounding the water, and multiple sun loungers positioned in shifting patterns of shade and sun. Landscaped gardens dense with tropical plants—bougainvillea in fuchsia and purple, palms creating natural screens, flowering shrubs releasing evening fragrance—create intimate spaces throughout the property. The poolside terrace spans generous dimensions, accommodating simultaneous sunbathing for multiple villa occupants.
