Villa Equinox Saint Lucia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Sea Breeze Hills is about as far north as you can go on Saint Lucia and the prestigious Cap Estate and this incredible villa boasts uninterrupted views of the of the Caribbean Sea. More of an estate than just a home, sprawling lawned gardens surround the villa – as do exotic flowering plants – which roll downwards towards the sea. The sloping nature of the location means Villa Equinox’s delightful outside space is terraced, with the pool set below the house.
Villa Equinox consists of three distinct areas, with the centre of the villa being connected by glazed corridors to a left and right wing. The fabulous airy living-dining room is open plan and reminiscent of a plantation house. Several arched windows and French doors allow light to flood in, brightening the white walls and high timbered ceiling, natural stone floor and masterfully chosen furnishings. A modern, well-appointed kitchen leads off the dining area and shaded outdoor terrace, so you can choose to dine indoors or al fresco. Beyond the terrace, sun loungers are waiting for you and your well-earnt siesta.
The master suite occupies the right wing, featuring a king size bed, reception area, en-suite bathroom and direct access out to your very own sun deck and the plunge pool. The left wing is home to three en-suite bedrooms, each luxuriously decorated and boasting mouth-watering views of the sea or lush greenery.
From the bedrooms and terrace, follow the delightful garden path as it winds around and down to your simply stunning pool terrace. Unique in every way, this amazing pool is decorated with a bridge, pretty tiles, graceful steps and, wait for it, a swim-up bar. Wow. With a broad terrace and sumptuous sun loungers, this space was designed for pleasure. Enjoy!
From your pool and terrace, your eye can travel as far as it likes across the big, blue expanse of the Caribbean Sea. Listen to the waves and look out for wildlife, including, rare glimpses of migrating whales. A trail leads down from the edge of the garden to the waterfront, where rock pools and tropical waters await.
Beyond the exclusive amenities at Cap Estate, Villa Equinox is just a short distance to a choice of beaches and Castries, Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island are all within a fifteen-minute drive.Villa Equinox enjoys a commanding position overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This northern tip of the island offers spectacular views of the coastline, sea and the beautiful Cap Estate and golf course. Beyond this tranquil corner, the island’s upbeat tropical vibe is not far away. Head for Reduit Beach at Rodney Bay for palm trees, music, bars, inflatable rides and water sports. You’ll also find a delicious choice of Creole dishes and international foods at the restaurants and cafes lining the beach and marina.
For a night out with the locals, look out for ‘Jump Up’ at Gros Islet. Friday nights see this small village turn into one big street party, where music and food stalls pull locals and visitors together for a fun-filled night of fried chicken, barbecued fish, rum and dancing!
For exploring the island’s delights beneath the waves, Dive Saint Lucia is a state-of-the-art diving school, with training pool, classrooms and two thirty-passenger boats. If you’re already qualified, book a trip and head offshore to see shipwrecks, barracudas, eagle rays and coral reef. If you just fancy a bit of snorkelling, it’s worth donning a mask and snorkel and dipping your head below the surface at most beaches. With Marine Reserve areas further along the coast near The Pitons, all surrounding waters are wonderfully rich with life.
Villa Equinox belongs to Cap Estate, which boasts the island’s only golf course, as well as tennis courts and restaurants. It’s also served by the Dollar Bus service. This chilled-out, fun and cost-effective mode of transport is a great way to travel to Rodney Bay and Castries. Apart from the colourful Saturday morning market, Castries, the capital of Saint Lucia’s island nation, is a wonderful day out. Visit the Cathedral for vibrant murals, Derek Walcott Square, Brazil Street’s ornate buildings and the port, where enormous cruise liners drop anchor.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
