Keywords: luxury, villa, sea, bay, stunning, views,swimming pool
The Villa is a luxurious four bedroom property on the East coast of Antigua. Sleeping eight people comfortably, the house is in a unique setting at the entrance to Dian Bay and is exposed to constant cooling trade-winds.
The property is very private, sitting at the end of a promontory known as Dumm’s Point. Long Bay, one of the best of Antigua’s 365 beaches, is only a short walk away.
The house sits above a 40 foot cliff and has spectacular views South across Dian Bay. The view encompasses a national park with Devil’s Bridge as well as a small beach which can be accessed either by boat or four-wheel drive vehicle. There is private access to the sea from the property.
The villa has been designed as a series of interconnected buildings linked by paths and gardens planted with a wide variety of tropical plants. Throughout there is a Balinese theme, whether picked up by the columns specially hand-carved in Bali, the colour scheme, or the Indonesian furniture.
The living and dining areas have been designed to be as open as possible and to take advantage of the breeze. The sitting room leads onto a large pergola-covered terrace with a view across the bay on one side and an inner courtyard with a Balinese style garden on the other.
The swimming pool has an infinity edge which melts into the bay beyond.
There are four bedrooms: bedrooms one and two have king-size four poster beds from Bali, bedroom three has twin beds and bedroom four a king-size double bed. Each bedroom is cooled by ceiling fans (the sea breeze means no need for air conditioning) and has an en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom has a rain shower and bathtub. All the other bedrooms have walk-through changing rooms with hanging space and a shower. Each bathroom has a different set of hand carved stone washbasins. Please note that there are no interconnecting bedrooms, therefore the villa might not be suitable for younger children.
The kitchen is very well equipped and includes a Viking gas range cooker, dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer and Chalon worktable and storage cupboard.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
James and Amanda live in London, but spend as much time as they can in Antigua. One of these days they hope to be able to spend weeks at a time, especially in winter, enjoying island life.
Why the Owner Chose Indian Town Point
We always wanted to build a house in the sun, and when we saw the land at Dumm's Point we knew we had found the perfect location to do just that. The villa has been designed to take advantage of the cooling Trade Winds and the wonderful views, you can see the sea from every room in the house.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Everytime we arrive at the villa we are entranced by the views. Looking out at Dian Bay with its fantastic colours, sitting on the terrace with a drink in hand watching the pelicans swoop in front of us, the Trade Winds keeping us cool and the sound of the waves below us, we cannot believe how lucky we are to own this little piece of paradise If you are looking for peace and quiet then this is the place for you.

We just returned from a fantastic 10-day holiday at Villa Kulala and can't wait for our next visit. The photos do not give the full scope of how large and well appointed the Villa is. We were 3 couples and we all had ample space to relax, read (the gazebo at top of infinity pool with view of Devil's Bridge my favorite) and enjoy meals from the lovely kitchen on our outdoor dining room. We swam in the Bay down the stone steps of the Villa, but our favorite was to walk (10 minutes) down the hill/road to Long Bay Beach. The guys enjoyed a drink at the bar as we lounged on the sandy beach and swam in the warm sea. We loved Kristina, the chef, cooking us two fresh fish dinners - what a treat as she shops, cooks, serves and cleans up! The house was spotless, Tanya the housekeeper lovely and not at all intrusive, and every question answered promptly by the owners. My only complaint is that "Trivial Pursuit" was the English version, and unfair for this lone American! The roads around Antigua are narrow and full of pot-holes, so we did most of our sight-seeing during the day and kicked back at night enjoying the clear sky and bright stars. We are all world travelers and have enjoyed 5-star accomadations in the past but this is a magical spot. It was so peaceful and serene with the sound of the waves and winds and rain showers at night. Admiral's Inn in Nelson's Dockyard, Catherine's Cafe also in English Harbor (especially if you're having a birthday!) and OJ's at Jolly Harbor had fantastic food. One of the best vacations in years!
Owner response:I am so glad that Kulala exceeded your expectations, just what I like to hear!! We look forward to welcoming you all again on another visit.

Villa Kulala is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. It rests on a point overlooking Devil's Bridge and the Atlantic. With it's private pool and snorkleing platform you really don't even need to leave this piece of paradise. The compound itself is spacious and open providing breathtaking views wherever you look. My only suggestions would be to hire a cook as much as possible because shopping on the island can be a bit of a headache and cooking and cleaning can get a bit redundant. Also if you are a snorkling enthusiast, I don't recommend gioing in December because the "December Winds" can be quite strong and the water is often cloudy. However the natural beauty of the location will quickly sooth any stress caused by these minor inconviences.

This has been a magical and memorable week. I will never forget the chorus of wows as Christiane showed us around your beautiful home in which it has been such a privilege to stay.We have all adored every minute of the week, which just seemed to disappear. We've laughed, we've celebrated, and we have enjoyed; who could ask for more? I even got a smile out of Mama, whose pizzas and pasta were excellent! If you will have us we will be back, but not for an anniversary which clearly falls at the wrong time in Antigua's meterological calendar. But nothing could interfere with these stunning views!

We had a wonderful fortnight of perfect weather. The reef at the bottom of the garden offered plenty of pretty little fish to introduce nine year old Ana to snorkelling, and just enough big ones with large teeth and spines to stop me from getting complacent

My mother and I just returned from an 11 day stay at Villa Kulala and were just in awe of everything! So much thought and detail have gone into the construction and decoration that even days after we arrived we would still find things that truly delighted us. There wasn't one thing there that I wouldn't love to have in my home. The kitchen is completely stocked with every gadget you could ever need. Great TV reception and WiFi. We were able to watch Survivor and keep up with e-mail. The beds so comfortable that my bad back never bothered me once upon awakening. The showers were so exotic & adored the L'Occtane shower products. The infinity pool so refreshing in that hot weather - day & night. There was no odor to the pool water because of a salt-chlorine system. The gardens and landscaping were absolutely beautiful. Hummingbirds and Bananaquits would constantly flit from flower to flower adding to the tropical atmosphere. The villa is situated on probably one of the best pieces of land in Antigua. The views across to Devil's Bridge where there were often donkeys and goats grazing never failed to delight. Pelicans would soar overhead and hawks would land on the Century tree at the property's edge. We snorkeled Dian Bay frequently when we weren't out at one of the many beautiful beaches. Long Bay beach in front of the Beach House restaurant and Dian Bay were really only the two areas that the snorkeling was fairly decent from shore. We didn't do any boat excursions so I can't attest to how that would be. And finally, Christiane, a neighbor and Kulala's property manager was the most gracious and helpful woman we have met. We can't say enough good things about her; she's truly an exceptional person. We loved Villa Kulala and hope to be back some day soon!

The villa is absolutely great and the view is amazing. The attention in every single detail of the house makes you feel so confy and "at home".We spent a lot of time snorkeling in the bay which is full of lobsters,octopus and sting ray. A plus is the game room where you can play pool watching the sea.The cliff is always breezy and you won't suffer for the humidity. The manager and the staff were very kind.

Had an absolutely fabulous time, the quality of the villa was exceptional, and probably had the best location on the island. Will definately be looking to go back - what better recommendation could there be?

Our first visit to Antigua was wonderful due to the friendliness of the people and the stunning Villa Kulala. We have been to many of the islands in the Carribbean and have stayed in many villas, however Villa Kulala truly stands out. Our family really enjoyed all the ameneties that Kulala had to offer and we highly reccommend this Villa for your next visit to Antigua. Thank you to Christiane (house manager) for her excellent reccomendations on restaurants and general info getting around Antigua

Our family spent a week at Villa Kulala during our Spring Break and it was probably the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. Villa Kulala was absolutely stunning! The architecture, furnishings and attention to details were superb. The view from the property was amazing. Situated on a penisula overlooking Devils Bridge National Park. It was a very private setting and truly a "one of a kind" place. We spent most days exploring the different beaches around Antigua. Half Moon Beach was probably the nicest beach we found on the island. It was about a 15-20 minute drive from the Villa. We also spent many days hanging around Long Bay Beach (also highly ranked among Antigua beaches) It conveniently located just a few minutes down the road from the Villa. There were three different restaurants at Long Bay Beach so we had plenty of choices when we didn't feel like cooking. Mama's Pasta, Long Bay Beach Resort and a local beach bar that served lunch daily. The Villa manager and staff were very professinal and attentive to anything we needed. I would highly recommend the Villa to anyone looking for a great getaway. If you are considering staying at Villa Kulala and have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me. David Parmley
