Villa Description

Situated on the sought-after hillside between Anse Chastanet Beach and Soufriere lies Bananaquit with one of the most iconic and beautiful views in the Caribbean. This home looks out over the sea with commanding views across to the island of St. Vincent in the south, with open coastline in front, where whales have been spotted from the main terrace, and a view of Anse Chastanet bay to the north. The house sits in this community of hillside homes in lush surroundings with majestic views of the world famous Pitons from every level. Its extensive living space and open front incorporate the view into the design of the house.

Built in 1965, the house was inhabited from 1974 for many years by the acclaimed Scottish artist  Alan Davie, whose works can be admired in the Tate, Metropolitan Museum of Art and many of the world’s top galleries.  The house was fully renovated in 2003. In 2013 a further 2 bedrooms were built underneath the main structure with a 35ft infinity pool and sun terrace to create an extra level for living and relaxation. 

The villa offers 5,625 internal space and 4,910 external covered space/terrace
