Sundowner Villa stands as the epitome of romance on Virgin Gorda, making it the island’s most sought-after honeymoon destination. Nestled at 1 Paradise Lane within the prestigious Nail Bay Estate, this one-bedroom beachfront cottage enchants guests with its regal and inviting decor. Sliding glass doors lead from the private patio to the spacious dining and living areas, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outside world. The open-plan gourmet kitchen is a perfect blend of form and function, setting the stage for culinary delights.
The bedroom, elevated above the living room, features a king-sized bed that serves as a throne, inviting you to sink into plush linens and pillows. From this royal perch, you can gaze out over the turquoise sea and the endless azure sky, painted with vibrant hues unique to the Caribbean. Sundowner is the quintessential villa for couples, offering an idyllic escape like no other.
For larger groups, Sundowner can be rented alongside Sunset Watch and 1 Paradise Lane, creating a 4-bedroom villa with two pools, accommodating up to 10 guests.
The name Sundowner pays homage to the owners’ travels in South Africa and Botswana, where they enjoyed a sundowner drink after each exhilarating day on safari. The experience of watching the sunset over the African bush inspired the creation of this beautiful villa, which was built in 2001 and updated in 2018. The villa is adorned with unique treasures collected by the owners from their travels across Africa and beyond, adding a worldly charm to the space.
The fully equipped modern kitchen at Sundowner is a haven for chefs of all levels, whether you’re preparing a casual meal or indulging your inner gourmet. Kitchen amenities include:
For dining, the indoor area offers seating for four, while the spacious covered patio outside, overlooking the Sir Francis Drake Channel, provides a second dining area with four swivel chairs and a gas BBQ grill. Relax on the comfortable planter chairs and watch the sunset, or sunbathe on the recliners on the open deck, enjoying the stunning views.
The open floor plan of the villa allows for a seamless flow between spaces, with the bedroom offering an uninterrupted view of the pool, beach, and palm trees. From the comfort of your bed, you can gaze out at the ocean and the lush surroundings, creating a perfect start to each day.
The bedroom is a step up from the living room, featuring a king-sized bed, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, ceiling fan, and sweeping ocean views. Directly off the bedroom is the master bath, which is a true hidden gem at Sundowner. A large dressing room with separate closets leads to the bathroom, which features a double-sink vanity and a unique indoor/outdoor shower with privacy glass. This spacious shower blends the indoors with nature, offering an unforgettable experience.
Additional amenities in the bathroom include an iron, ironing board, wall safe, and hairdryer for your convenience.
Step outside to your private infinity plunge pool, just steps away from the secluded Nail Bay Beach. The pool was resurfaced with mosaic tiles in the fall of 2021, and state-of-the-art LED lighting was added soon after, enhancing the villa’s evening ambiance. Sip your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a refreshing cocktail on your private oceanfront deck, enjoying the serenity and stunning vistas.
Guests can follow a native stone pathway down to the pristine Nail Bay Beach, where you’ll find 1,600 sq. ft. of private white sandy beach with 125 feet of beachfront. Relax in a hammock, enjoy a picnic in comfort at the outdoor seating next to a picnic table, or take a swim in the crystal-clear waters. The beach is teeming with marine life, including small fish darting between swaying corals and natural rock pools. A pile of boulders at one end of the beach offers the perfect spot to climb, play, or share a meal with a bottle of champagne while watching the waves.
For those seeking adventure, the snorkeling below Sundowner is some of the best on Virgin Gorda. Beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, and fins are available at no extra cost. Guests can also explore the waterfront or venture to the nearby Dog Islands using one of the property’s kayaks.
Whether you’re seeking romance, adventure, or relaxation, Sundowner offers a luxurious and unforgettable experience, making it the ideal destination for a dream honeymoon or romantic getaway.
