Located on a private island — known as Long Island or Jumby Bay — the Allamanda Villa was designed to welcome the Caribbean Sea inward while harkening a slower pace of life on the car-free, only-accessible-by-boat island. Available through luxury villa company Edge Retreats, the centerpiece of the villa is its 900-square-foot Great Room that runs 40 feet long with two sprawling seating areas and room for 10 people to dine. The space also opens to a veranda, which leads to a private pool and deck. Courtesy of Edge Retreats The main outdoor area, which overlooks Pond Bay Beach, is anchored by lush gardens. And one of the best corners of the property? The daybed in the villa's viewing tower, from which you can enjoy the view over the west-facing garden at sunset. Courtesy of Edge Retreats Inside, the four bedrooms continue to draw guests' eyes to the Caribbean Sea, with three of the bedrooms facing the water. Two of them are full master suites with king-size beds and the others have queen beds, and each en-suite bathroom features indoor and outdoor showers as well as soaking tubs. This Tiny Caribbean Island You've Never Heard Of Is a Diver's Paradise — and It Just Opene Of course, the stay comes with upscale services, including housekeeping, a butler, and a private chef for daily meals and afternoon tea. Also included are daily children's programs, access to the resort's fitness and tennis facility, and water activities, including waterskiing, paddle boarding, kayaking, sunfish sailing, snorkeling, and windsurfing. Use of two six-seat golf carts is included, as well as bikes to take around the island's many pathways. Despite its remote feel, getting to the island is easy from Antigua and Barbuda's V.C. Bird International Airport; it takes a three-minute drive followed by a seven-minute boat ride. Villa pricing begins at $12,288 a night, with a three-night deposit required at the time of booking.
