Location

At just 150 steps from the white sandy beach of Lower Bay, guests can enjoy a swim or lounge by one of the nearby beach bars or restaurants at any time of the day. However, access to the villa is quite steep; therefore, a rental jeep is recommended.

The Villa

Cassava’s design and construction have been inspired by local and classic English styles, with materials and furniture selected and imported from near and far. The house is equipped with everything you would expect in a modern luxury house, with fans throughout and additional air conditioning in all bedrooms.

Interior

The main entrance leads through an entrance hall straight into an open-plan living room with three sets of large double doors opening out behind the house into a courtyard planted with frangipani and ginger lilies. Here, water flows over the edge of a large stone urn into a pool of lilies beneath. From the courtyard, an external staircase leads up to a sun deck with far-reaching views of the sea, equipped with loungers for sun worshippers who are after some secluded privacy. The fully equipped kitchen is to the left of the living room, and the outdoor annexe to the kitchen houses a barbecue. The spacious living room seats nine comfortably and has a 32-inch wall-mounted television and DVD player that supplies local and American cable channels.

Outdoors

14ft doors slide into the walls to lead from the living area to the house’s expansive ocean-facing terrace, which spans the full width of the house. To the left, at one end, a carved wooden entrance leads into the dining room with seating for up to 12 guests at a circular table under a gazebo-style roof. A private path takes guests directly from the beach through the property’s private hillside garden. Crowned by trees, its parking bay has room for four cars and a turning circle.

Sleeping

The villa comprises four double en-suite bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a private ocean-facing terrace, a large dressing room, a shower, and a bathroom. A coral stone spiral staircase leads to a hall at a lower level on the hillside with a small fridge for drinks the two double ensuite bedrooms. The beds in these two bedrooms can be made up of twin or king-size beds. Both rooms lead out onto their private terraces with views of the ocean.

Staff

Our friendly housekeeper provides a thoughtful and discreet daily service to ensure your stay is comfortable and carefree.

Each morning, she sweeps the terrace and offers a daily bedroom and bathroom service — timed to suit you, either before or after your first swim. She can also prepare breakfast each day if you wish.

Maid service is included five days per week (Monday to Friday). Linen is changed midweek and again at the end of your stay, approximately every 3–4 days. If you would prefer the service less frequently, please let us know in advance so we can advise her.

A personal laundry service is available at US$10 per load, payable locally.

The pool is quietly cleaned and the surrounding area tidied early each morning, while the gardens are attended to three times per week.

A private chef can be arranged upon request; chef services are not included in the rental rate.
