Villa Las Brisas rides atop a prominent ridge and commands a sweeping panorama of the World's second largest reef system and long coastal views. Your arrival at the entry breezeway opens on to the mangroves that shelter Politilly Bight. A flowering, vine covered pergola shades the breezeway that separates the main house from the two, large, en suite bedrooms.
Flanking the columned breezeway are two fountained pools on each side with their gentle sound of falling water. Low punctuated walls surround the entry and enclose tropical gardens. Designed in a modern Mediterranean style by highly regarded Carmel architect John Thodos, Las Brisas is truly a signature island property.
Amenity rich throughout, Las Brisas Master Suite occupies the second floor of the main house and features a lounge area, queen bed, double sink, tile vanity, glass block shower cabinet, 46" flat screen HDTV, wireless Internet and Gabbeh carpets. Tile flooring is open to the first floor below on three sides. Large oil paintings grace the walls and a viewing deck with eleven foot market umbrella and two padded chaise lounges provide relaxation by day and star studded skies at night. The two, queen bedded suites across the breezeway are large, individually decorated with tiled showers, skylights, and bathrooms with dramatic mirrors and marble backsplash. Art abounds in every suite and throughout the Villa.
The main floor houses a fully appointed kitchen, living room with a nine foot picture window framing the view and a dining room extension opening on to the tiled patio and large lounge pool. The pool is surrounded on three sides by dramatic tropical folliage with the remaining side open to the sea and coastal views. Two chaise lounges under two eleven foot market umbrellas offer poolside comfort.
Ceiling fans throughout the property augment the prevailing and cooling breezes. The main floor convenience bathroom evokes Hollywood of the 40's and 50's. Furnishings are tastefully tropical with striking fabric. Alcoves on either side of the Living room window display spotlit, seven foot carved statuary. A dramatic, lipstick red spiral staircase leads one up to the Master Suite and the rooftop. In all, a luxurious, restful setting to relax or to entertain around the kitchen island with its four comfortable bar stools, the open living room and dining room and lounge pool patio; spaces that invite exploration and enjoyment.
Other Amenities: Our watchman/gardener, Tino Rivas, attends to the pool and fountains each morning and Tuesday our housekeeper, Naomi, tidies interiors and can make arrangements for washing personal items. Our 4WD Nissan Pathfinder is available as outlined in the rate section. A generator provides power if the power supply should falter. Kevin and Claire Bloor, our property managers, meet guests at the airport and introduce them to the Villa with a welcoming libation. And, if you like, make arrangements for catered meals or a massage.
