Ridgemont House

RIDGEMONT HOUSE – Spacious, elegant and private. A gated modern compound perched above Long Bay Beach with some of the best views of any home in the BVI. Overview: Sitting high on the ridge overlooking Long Bay Beach and the Atlantic on one side, and the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the Caribbean Sea on the other, the 1.8 acre gated compound has total privacy and truly spectacular views that are second to none. Designed by a renowned architect, Ridgemont House is made up of two separate pavilions that incorporate traditional Caribbean cues with contrasting modern, elegant interiors. It is the definition of today’s sophisticated Caribbean luxury. The prestigious location and the expansive, amenity-packed property might keep you wanting to stay at home, but just down the hill is the stunning white-sand beach of Long Bay & its beachfront bars, restaurants and spa, as well as the Long Bay Beach Resort that provides available daily passes to access to their pool area, tennis and pickleball courts and fitness center. Our team at Villas of Tortola would love to welcome you! Space LIVING AREAS: The first floors of the main house and guest house, the shaded veranda, the large pool, the guest bathroom and parking are all set on the same level, unusual on our mountainous island and perfect for socializing with a larger group. The main house contains the ballroom-sized Great Room and separate office. Enjoy the game on the big screen or your music on the Sonos sound system from the ample supply of comfortable seating. Packed with light and air, the living and dining areas feature six sets of 9ft high French doors that open to the terrace running along three sides allowing indoor/outdoor living. The view from here is simply stunning. The Caribbean-tiled Great Room opens into the kitchen, appointed with stone countertops, high quality Viking cooking appliances, and both a prep sink and separate cleanup sink next to the dishwasher. No need to shoo guests away. It is enormous and allows everyone to gather around the center island/breakfast bar for meal prep and cocktails. You'll find everything you need here for self-catering and more than enough workspace. Or choose our available chef for a fully catered affair. The glass and teak Balinese dining table offers a sophisticated indoor dining option, although we think you're going to want to go outside for that... STEP OUTSIDE:
Outside there is more than 2000 square ft of coral-tiled living space. Pull up a lounger and catch some rays on the expansive deck alongside the large infinity edge pool, or lounge in the shade of the veranda's spacious al fresco seating area. The convenient guest bathroom, changing room and shower is also just off the deck. You'll find a large propane BBQ poolside, which is perfect for grilling up a local Anegada lobster and enjoying it from the covered outdoor dining area. The views from here are just breathtaking - looking out along the coastline and across to Jost Van Dyke and its surrounding isles with a gentle ocean breeze is just blissful. It's a really magical spot to sit with friends & family and enjoy a meal together or listen to some music through the Sonos sound system. To get above it all, head to the gazebo high atop the ridge for a yoga session or cocktail with friends, or some downtime. Another incredible viewpoint, this is where we'd be going at sunset to watch those famous fiery BVI skies.
