Prospect villa, Tobago

This villa provides excellent value for larger groups with 7 rooms that can sleep 14 comfortably.

We are situated in one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. The plantation-style villa is nestled in the lush mountains of Prospect, on Tobago's sheltered leeward coast, caressed by cool breezes and serenaded by tropical birds. It is set in two acres of beautiful gardens, with fruit and shade trees and a profusion of brilliant bougainvillea.

Absolutely secluded, it has magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea and the Arnos Vale Hills. There is a very large tiled swimming pool (saline not chlorine) - 22 metres long - that may well keep you away from the ocean on lazy days.

Our villa was designed by Brian Lewis, one of the islands leading architects. The villa evokes a bygone era of grandeur, and yet provides all the amenities of modern living. It has 7 bedrooms (one of which is in a separate cottage) comfortably sleeping 17 people and six bathrooms. Each bedroom has wonderful, sweeping views of the ocean and hills.

The villa is built to make maximum use of the breezes with the added benefit of keeping insects at bay and the temperature cooler. In the evenings, you can first watch the sunset and then later, the fireflies.


This is a paradise for the keen birdwatcher. It has its own bird sanctuary and there is a profusion of humming birds and other tropical birds. It also has its own orchard and vegetable garden, allowing guests to enjoy fresh grown local fruit and vegetables.

The beauty of the environment, the generous proportions of rooms and verandas are designed for complete relaxation, its large living and dining areas and its two study areas, for times when privacy and solitude are needed. There is a TV, full office facilities and a state of the art music system.

Though the secluded villa is five minutes' drive from the ocean, the famous Mt. Irvine Golf Course and fine restaurants, are a mere 15 minutes from the capital, Scarborough. Other activities such as horse riding, snorkelling or scuba diving are also within easy access. Our villa combines the best of both worlds: immediate access to entertainment and activity with total relaxation. Tobago is the original Robinson Crusoe island. It has the oldest rainforest in the world and beautiful deserted beaches. Englishman's Bay is one of the most famous which was where Swiss Family Robinson was filmed. There are also giant leatherback turtles that lay there eggs on the beaches and some fantastic scuba diving amongst some old ship wrecks. Many species of fish are present in Tobago's warm waters.
