Voted amongst the top twenty villas in the Caribbean by Conde Nast Traveller in 2007, this Villa stands apart as one of the most striking places to stay in Tobago and the Caribbean and was designed by one of the Caribbean's foremost architects.

This beautiful villa is a Hawaiian word for family rest-house and the owners’ intention for the house was that the architecture and interior design and even the furnishings would successfully entangle the guests in an organic and spiritual way.

The result is that this villa is indeed ‘a very special place’, a perfect haven of peace and quiet to escape to, with family and friends from the hustle and bustle of city life; the sheer scale of the property, providing just the right amount of privacy with luxury, style and barefoot elegance. This, along with the warm and sincere welcome of Rena, and her staff ensure that as soon as you arrive, you’ll find the stresses of the city slip away as easily as your shoes at the front door, Then the swimsuits and pareos go on and then this spectacular place begins to work its magic . . .

Located on the south east corner of Tobago in Bacolet, the villa enjoys 180 degree views of the Atlantic Ocean. The house is orientated with the prevailing trade winds to keep the house cool. The garden is full of tropical and exotic flowers and fruit, and runs down to a small sandy protected cove, protected by a reef just out in the bay.

The villa was designed with a Balinese tropical influence and resembles a small village of tiny houses perched upon a bluff. Four double bedrooms wrap around a large sun deck of two swimming pools, Jacuzzi and a large koi fish pond. Humming birds, blue birds and cocricos fly around the gardens, and you can watch the ornamental koi fish from your hammock whilst sipping a homemade rum cocktail. Sample our excellent local or European cooking, or try a fusion of the both from our renowned cook, one of the best on the island.

So hard is it to leave this place, that even though the stunningly beautiful little island of Tobago is full of enticing activities and day trips, our guests find it difficult to tear them away from the house. In fact, many guests never leave the house and wonder why they hired a car causing Rena and her staff to wonder ‘why all de guests don’t like to go out!

However those that do, always enjoy the Old Windward road that sweeps up the east coast to the beautiful nature reserves, beaches and waterfalls. Worth leaving home for are Tobago’s beautiful waterfalls; one of the oldest rainforests in the northern hemisphere; and for bird enthusiasts, there are over 210 different bird species; as well there are excellent diving and deep sea fishing. Rena will be happy to arrange for any island activities using our preferred tour operators.

1 house manager (Rena) and 2 housekeepers (Joy & Jennifer) (all live-out) look after the running of the house and will do as much or as little shopping and cooking as you require. Most guests prefer to do their own grocery shopping, however for those of you that don’t, Rena will be happy to do it for an additional fee, saving you those extra hours for topping up that tan!

Our housekeepers will cook, serve, and wash up each morning for breakfast as this is included in the daily rate.

Other meals can be requested and are charged at 10 US dollars per meal per person – all ingredients to be provided by guests.

Excellent and highly recommended aromatherapy massages by Rena can be arranged for $50 USD.

This villa is indeed a very special place, a place that refreshes the mind, as well as the body.
