This is just a selection of some of the villas
we represent.
We are constantly on the lookout for new properties
to add to our portfolio and are always delighted to look for that
very special house if you haven’t found what you are looking
for.
Properties are available throughout the year by arrangement.
We have a wealth of wonderful houses dotted
around the islands of the Caribbean sea. The pleasure of these islands
is in their diversity, their different personalities and changing
landscapes. From the plunging tropical volcanoes of St Lucia to
laid back Antigua and its 365 beaches; the chic Frenchness of St
Barth’s to the sophistication and exclusivity of Mustique;
from Jamaica, in all its verdant glory, to Bequia, small, discrete
jewel of the Grenadine Islands.
Our Caribbean pages show only a sample of
some of the wonderful houses available. We would be delighted to
help guide you in your choice of island and holiday home.
Anguilla
If beaches are your thing, Anguilla is close to paradise. There are miles and miles of them, perhaps the most beautiful in the Caribbean. Edged by an electric blue sea, blindingly white and thick and soft. Anguilla (the ‘eel’) a tiny sliver of an island, 16 miles by 3, is the most northerly of the British Leewards and is 5 miles from the French part of St Martin, where you can go by ferry for a day of duty free shopping. The Island has purposefully kept itself in the top end of the travel business, refusing cruise ships and package holidays whilst cultivating five star hotels and luxury villas. It is fast gaining a reputation for some of the best food in the Caribbean and remains a safe and friendly island, laid back but top spec.
Antigua
Antigua remains an SJ Villas favourite. The island retains much of its old world Caribbean charm and has not developed as fast as some of its neighbours. The legendary 365 beaches remain pristine and unspoilt with white sand and crystal clear water. A ‘yachties’ paradise, there are plenty of water sports, although jet skis are only permitted on a few beaches. As in much of the rest of the Caribbean, this is not a gourmet’s paradise but the choice of restaurants is improving and good provisions can be purchased. So if you are looking for traditional and pretty authentic laid back Caribbean living, head for Antigua. Direct flights make it a good destination for short breaks. We are hoping to list two or three new houses exclusive to us during the course of 2010, so call for details.
Barbados
Prosperous, genteel and proud, Barbados has some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean and offers multiple activities including golf and even horse racing. Some of the best known hotels in the Caribbean are to be found on this island and the Christmas season sees a star-studded guest list. Although expensive during the winter, the Island offers great value during the summer months when the weather is still lovely, beaches are quiet and beautiful houses with a full contingent of staff, are available at great rates.
Bequia
The largest of the Grenadines, Bequia is stunningly beautiful. One
of the lesser known islands of the Caribbean, it offers peace and
tranquillity along with a spectacular coastline. Immensely popular
with yachties, Bequia offers all sorts of sailing and water sports.
Virgin Gorda
One of nature’s little secrets, Virgin Gorda may be off the mainstream travel trail but is well worth the extra flight and ferry ride. With World renowned white beaches and some of the best diving and snorkelling to be found anywhere, the island is a yachties paradise but is also quiet, safe and very friendly.
Jamaica
A fantastically beautiful tropical garden, Jamaica is charismatic
and lively. One of the biggest islands in the Caribbean, it is roughly
half the size of Wales with the dramatic Blue Mountains providing
a stunning backdrop to the coast.
Mustique
Unquestionably, one of the most exclusive private islands in the world.
Sophisticated and chic, Mustique boasts some of the most fabulous houses to be found in the Caribbean. Holiday home to the rich and famous, it is nonetheless laid back, sedate and discreet.
The island offers pristine beaches, sport and leisure activities and a wonderful sense of exclusivity, peace and security.
There are 71 residences in the Mustique collection. Ranging from 2 to 9 bedrooms and with a range of architectural styles and interior designs. Each villa offers a dedicated staff and the opportunity to enjoy your family and friends or a romantic retreat for two.
Our Caribbean pages show only a sample of some of the wonderful houses available. We would be delighted to help guide you in your choice of holiday home.
St
Barths
Exclusive, chic, sexy and French speaking St Barth’s is a tiny corner of France. Great beaches and every water activity imaginable combined with high fashion and fine dining create a Caribbean experience all of its own. Individual and more French than Caribbean, there is less on tap service per house than the other islands. Everything from chefs to babysitters can be arranged, but pre-planning is a must.
St
Lucia
Lying between Martinique and St Vincent, this is a lush, mountainous
island with steep slopes covered in tropical vegetation. Pretty
beaches and hidden coves with sand varying from golden to volcanic
black dot the Island and there is an abundance of water sports available.
Turks
and Caicos
The Turks and Caicos consist of 40 different islands, only 8 of
which are still inhabited. Providenciales, or more commonly known
as “Provo”, is an area of 38 sq.m, surrounded by beautiful
white sand beaches and coral reefs ideal for underwater activities.
The most developed of the islands with all modern facilities, including
a casino and golf club where there is still a strong feeling of
the Caribbean to be found in the villages dotted around the island.
