The Villa

Mangwana is an extraordinary example of contemporary Caribbean architecture, designed for luxurious living in a stunning hillside location. Situated in Friendship Heights’ exclusive “Cloud 9” area on Bequia, this property combines innovative design with breathtaking panoramic views, offering a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home in the Grenadines.

Mangwana’s layout is perfect for hosting, with connecting areas that can accommodate up to 150 guests. The WiFi-controlled lighting system by London-based ‘Mr Resistor’ enhances the property’s atmosphere, making it come alive at night.

Location

Perched 600 feet above Friendship Bay, Mangwana is located in a serene setting just a 7-minute drive from some of Bequia’s best beaches. The property offers spectacular views over the Southern Grenadines, stretching toward Mustique, Canouan, and Union Island. Nearby attractions include the tranquil waters of Lower Bay Beach and the jewel-like islands of Balliceaux and Petit Nevis.

Interior

Designed by British architect Jake Edgley, Mangwana incorporates durable materials like Brazilian Ipe wood and polished concrete floors for low-maintenance luxury. The property is equipped with 32 solar panels, a 130,000-gallon rainwater collection system, and energy-efficient lighting to minimise environmental impact.

The property includes five spacious bedrooms in the main house and a separate guest wing with its own kitchen, balcony, and terrace. All but one bedroom have en-suite bathrooms with pebble-lined walk-in showers. Pitched ceilings, high fans, and cross breezes keep the spaces refreshingly cool. The three leeward facing bedrooms have a/c.

Outdoor

The property features a wooden treetop sundeck and shaded terraces, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. The landscaped gardens feature a variety of Caribbean plants, including palms, bougainvillaea, and mango trees, designed for low upkeep.

The central infinity pool, inspired by Moorish design principles, serves as the focal point of the home, offering unparalleled views of the ocean and surrounding islands. Most rooms open directly onto the pool, creating a seamless flow between living spaces and the breathtaking landscape.
