The formers official residence of the Governor of the British Virgin Islands. Allamanda estate is very private, situated on six acres of a breezy hilltop amongst lush, flowering gardens within prestigious Little Mountain Estate, commanding expansive wraparound vistas of ocean and green islets.

This sunning property has just been refurbished in a beautiful blend of Indonesian, Chinese and Indian pieces and antiques, with touches of Moroccan style found in the filigreed lighting here and there.

The covered entry foyer leads inside to the tiled gallery strewn with Persian rugs and hung with original art. The gallery leads to the traditional drawing room, elegantly-furnished and a reading library. The is also a the gracious formal dining room which connects to the large, just-remodeled kitchen.

Off the Great Room is the very spacious air-conditioned king master bedroom with a romantic four-poster bed and an ensuite bath; this suite opens out to an L-shaped covered verandah and to a large Balinese daybed. Adjoining is a smaller bedroom/bath with twin beds (or one king, if you wish), dressed in sunny yellow and crowned by an Indonesian carved wooden screen.

The gallery which connects these rooms offers a home office desk complete with a desktop computer with DSL line and a fax machine. The gallery opens to the sunny pool set like a jewel within a flagstone and tile terrace bordered with graceful palms and island flora, and set with cushioned chaise lounges. Allamanda Estate's guest pavilion is adjacent to the pool verandah, ensuring guests' privacy and comfort, and offers two spacious, air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites with a convenient and cozy foyer between them equipped with a cushioned bench, table, sink, mini-fridge, microwave and coffeemaker.

Original artwork and potted plants throughout enhance this villa's gracious charm, and beautiful wood soffits with soft indirect lighting frame every room's ceiling, giving the villa a warm and welcoming feel. Allamanda Estate is the grand dame of villas, offering old-world charm and quiet seclusion.

The lovely tropical gardens on the Estate, defined by stonework walls, feature many species of island trees and plants, such as manjack and cedar trees, hibiscus, ixora, fragrant jasmine and varieties of ferns. You may explore old plantation ruins nearby, or continue down Little Mountain's road to Long Bay Beach below.

Allamanda Estate is also an ideal location for weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries and family get-togethers. Special arrangements may be made in advance for these special occasions, and you may also arrange for your own private chef, nanny, massages and day-spa services. A very special property, and highly recommended.
