Villa de Palmas


"THE ESTATE"
Earth Climate Friendly Net Zero Footprint Estate!


The Estate of Villa de Palmas has been family-owned since its inception. After 3 years of searching, the right beachfront property was purchased in 1989. Initially, the estate took 8 years to develop with a vision for grandness 'island style'.
Today after more than 30 years, Villa de Palmas continues that vision.

Villa de Palmas was designed by an architectural firm specializing in Mediterranean/Caribbean-style homes with the Affluent Client in mind.
This Eco-Friendly Net-Zero Carbon Footprint Solar Powered Estate occupies nearly 3 acres on a very secluded pink sand beach situated on one of the highest points in the area with the main home commanding a 360-degree view of the lush tropical foliage and the azure seascape.

Just a few welcoming steps up from the entrance will afford an enlightening rejuvenation of what island life should be, totally carefree.

Entering the Grand Estate of Villa de Palmas is an enlightening experience as the Main Home is distinctively perched high on a hill that can be seen at a distance. Tasteful entry monuments establish your arrival from the private road followed by low decorative walls as you enter the property's interior circular driveway. Along the way, you're sure to notice our Earth-Friendly Solar Farm conspicuously nestled in a small valley of sorts alongside one of the estate's underground water sources. Compliments to our Sun which provides all the electrical needs for the entire estate. In the center of the driveway is a Pineapple Fountain and pond adding to the tropical elegance.

The estate comprises three very private homes that uniquely adorn the landscape. The Main Home is the Pinnacle the largest and most grand home while the smaller cottage and pool homes add to the estate's distinction. The homes have fully appointed rooms affording magnificent panoramic views and are brilliantly designed to capture the gentle trade winds that bless the island. All are generous and comfortable. The main and cottage homes include great rooms, fully equipped modern kitchens, dining, entertainment areas, and Loggias. Starlink internet wireless networks with streaming Amazon Fire TV. Outdoors is a functional pergola with a stone dining table, bar, and barbecue combination patios for grilling. The oceanfront has outdoor dining tables including the 8/12 place main dining for gathering the entire party and overlooks the pool and ocean from high above. There are 4 separate lounge areas with Luxury High-end chaise lounges. Large covered wrap-around Loggias with stylish furniture including 4 individual couples wine/chair combination seating perfect for that morning cafe or Happy Hour later.

Each fully air-conditioned home has 2 master-bedroom suites. The Main home has a large King suite and a stunning ocean view with a balcony named "Azure" at one end accompanying a Library breezeway perfect for reading or just a quiet space to relax. The other end is "Palms", a Queen suite connected to the loggia adding to another ocean view.

The Cottage has a Queen bedroom suite named "Sunrise" connected to the loggia captures an ocean view through the indigenous palms and is a bit closer to the ocean. The other Queen bedroom suite "Sunset" has a balcony overlooking the fountain and the sunsets.

And yet another home nearest the ocean and beach is our newest addition, the 2 story Pool house with a fabulous naturally warming chemical-free Venetian Pool. The unique design includes a pool-level furnished Loggia. On the large pool deck, are 10 cast aluminum cushioned lounges, and only steps from the refreshing pool.

*Citizens Watch company chose us in February and shot their newest commercial on location.

Around the corner at pool level is a King Bedroom Suite named "Pink Sands". Up the steps on the ocean side is our prized spacious King "Honeymoon bedroom Suite" named "Pink Pearl", affording a generous Loggia overlooking the Venetian pool with spectacular views. The suite offers lots of space for a bride to prepare on her special day. Later, the acrylic tub sits upon a "picture" window overlooking the pink sand beach and sea...a glass of champagne while soaking and gazing is in order here. All 3 homes are conveniently connected by lighted walkways.

The Estate's crown jewel includes a 1-minute walk to our secluded powdery and pearlescent pink-sand beach is just a moment's walk to the sand pathway lined with sea lilies. With its crescent-shaped beach stretching 3 miles of abundant natural dunes with sea oat grass, sea grapes, and coconut palms, you will be immersed in its tranquility. Stroll along the shore at the water's edge and soon discover the hidden coves welcoming you to dip in the warm crystal clear turquoise water. On your way back, pause on the beach’s entrance under either Tiki or our favorite the Elevated Beach Cabana complete with bedding/lounges for a bit more privacy.

Nearby is our larger "West Indies style" cedar shake roof-Tiki with Eight whimsical and colorful designer chairs inviting you to take a siesta after your beach walk - the perfect venue for gazing at the sea while you listen to the songs of the wind through the nearby casuarina and palms. Tune in or tune out this is a perfect setting for mindless relaxation. Careful, you may be there all day, it truly is paradise.

Take in an afternoon tea, enjoy a spectacular view of the sea, feel the ocean breezes, and smell the villa’s flora, fauna, and unspoiled vegetation.

Villa de Palmas is in a class of its own, catering to the affluent client, and is perfect for Families, Couples, Weddings, Romantic Honeymoons, and Business Clients.

Beautiful location. Secluded for sure.
We had a great time at this property. Certainly enough space for 10 people. The house is somewhat dated but beautiful. Maria responded quickly to any needs or concerns we had which were few. Have recommended this to others and will continue to do so.

Villa De Palmas is beautifully located! The property is amazing! Our family of 13, ages 7 to 66, spent 4 nights here and it wasn’t long enough! We had a great time and would love to come back someday. Thank you Bruce and Dianna for sharing your spectacular estate with us and for being so accommodating! Thank you also to Maria for being so helpful in answering our questions and arranging kayak rentals for us!

The estate is just beautiful and laid out wonderfully. Really nice for our group of 7. Kitchen cabinets in the main house could use a little TLC but that is normal for ocean front property. Great location to explore the entire island.

Fantastic Place
We had a great stay and what a wonderful island! We were close enough to stores and restaurants but had peace and quiet as if we were in the middle of nowhere. Maria is wonderful and helped us with a food, booking massages and handful of other things. Just a fantastic overall stay. One recommendation is to stop at the store and get some picaridin insect repellent right away. Nothing we brought down with us worked on the noseeums there.

Perfect for as large family
Clean, relaxing and very well managed. We had 9 adults and 2 children (3 years old) and the property was large enough so if someone wanted to have "quiet time"...not a problem. Only disadvantage is the distance from the airport but we were already aware and rented autos.

Stunning Property!
The location can not be beat and the homes are lovely, especially the pool house. The property grounds are incredible. We took long walks on the pink sand beach everyday. The local people, restaurants, and grocery stores were all wonderful. We had four couples, all family, and a different couple cooked dinner each night. The main house is perfect for entertaining a large group or big family. The owner/host, Bruce, was absolutely terrific to work with.

Week in Paradise
The property is a little slice of heaven - If you want to have a get away with a group of people and all have a little "privacy" this is your place! It has 3 separate structures that allow for everyone to have some space and then utilize the "main house" for getting together for dinners and socializing. The location has a great beach for a walk and really enjoyed getting to hear the waves overnight. The location is away from the main Queens highway and still close enough to run to town for supplies. Great hosts and we really enjoyed are stay!

Brilliant
Stunning, well maintained and well appointed property on gorgeous beach. The perfect place to relax and get away from it all. Beautifully landscaped from the entry gates to the gentle sloping path to the cabana on the beach. Be sure to follow the owners recommendations for restaurants, shopping and other beaches to visit (if you can tear yourself away from the one you are on). Definitely worth a repeat visit.

Perfect for a Group Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed the three buildings for our 5 couples and one single friend’s group retreat. Daily we enjoyed the gorgeous private beach. And in the evenings retreated to the refreshing pool. BBQ’d two nights and made breakfast each morning with only minor resolvable issues such as low propane and nonstick skillet. We all felt like our belongings were safe when we ventured out for dinners and excursions. Beds and pillows were great!! Felt like a resort all to ourselves. Beautiful landscaping and palm trees.
