My wife and I visited Harbour Villa for the 1st time in November of 2016. As opposed to the stereotypical “on the beach resort” we were looking for a secluded, relaxing laid back island environment. I was a little apprehensive going on vacation without having all the amenities of a “beach resort” environment. After getting settled in our concerns were put at ease. Everything you could need is readily available within a few minute drive. We purchased food, snacks and drinks at the IGA market, conveniently located about a mile down the road. The kitchen in the Vila’s have everything you could need to make your stay very enjoyable. Since we took a lot of day trips, we actually found it to be much more convenient.

It was the most desolate area of pristine, unoccupied beach we have had the pleasure of visiting. The miles of prime bonefish flats is only seen by most of us on television. We were able to make a full day of this secluded area by utilizing beach chairs, and portable cooler that are in your room. While out there, I suggest you take the time to wade out to the hidden pirates cave and climb the ladder. It allows you to get to their vantage point after their shipwreck.
Since my wife enjoys fishing as much as I do, we both fished each day. It was common to see the husband head out early to get in some
