The Bird of Paradise villa, located on Sandy Hill Bay beach, Anguilla, offers a unique blend of exquisite detail, spacious comfort, luxury, and quiet ambiance. It was designed by Wilson Associates, award-winning architects of luxury villas and resorts, including the Armani in Dubai, Four Seasons in Hong Kong. and the Atlantis Palm Resort. Bird of Paradise is designed in an Asian Tropical style with meandering, lagoon-style pools that weave between the four buildings to create an extremely private compound that is lush with vegetation.
Multiple buildings have allowed the owners to create four master suites, each with their own entrance, private veranda and an equal, panoramic view of the Caribbean and the mountains of St. Barths and St. Maarten. All suites are air conditioned. For added privacy and comfort, each suite is equipped with a hidden refrigerator and coffee service. Bathrooms vary, but may include an indoor-out door shower, whirlpool tub, desk, dressing table or walk-in closet. Bvlgari Amenities and Italian linens and bathrobes are included.
One suite has an attached office, which also has a second private, enclosed patio. The office can be set up as a 5th bedroom for children 12 and under. This two-room suite can be configured with four twin beds, which is ideal for a nanny and three children.
The Bird of Paradise offers four living/dining areas, including an interior living area with a wet bar, an exterior living room with fireplace, sun deck, and a large covered veranda with seating, dining and day bed.
