Nestled on a lush green headland on Antigua’s sparkling southwest coast, Ocean 5 is a stunning four-bedroom villa with a private pool and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Part of the Tamarind Hills boutique collection of oceanfront villas and suites, Ocean 5 is designed with laidback Caribbean living in mind. With sun-soaked outdoor spaces and dreamlike vistas, you will be ready to return to this enchanting island paradise time and time again!
The large wraparound terrace provides guests with a fantastic outdoor living space, complete with an infinity-edged swimming pool and a secluded sunbathing area. You will be drawn out to the terrace every morning by the radiant blue skies overhead and the sound of the gently lapping waves below. After a refreshing dip in the pool, guests have a covered outdoor lounge area where they can relax with a good book for the rest of the afternoon. The terrace also features a casual outdoor dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with a barbecue grill, the perfect place to prepare memorable meals with a cocktail in hand.
Inside, the villa continues to exude effortless charm with relaxed, contemporary design touches, echoing the natural colours and textures of the surrounding island. Wide patio doors lead from the terrace into a stylish lounge area, where there is a sumptuous corner sofa and a large flatscreen TV, making this the ideal spot for everyone to unwind after a day spent exploring Antigua’s beaches. The open-plan lounge flows harmoniously into a spacious dining area with more beautiful views. Adjacent to the dining area, the villa’s well-appointed kitchen features a large island and modern appliances, including a coffee machine for your morning coffee on the terrace. A charming double bedroom is also located on the ground floor, complete with an en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in rain shower.
Three more fabulous double bedrooms with king-size beds and smart TVs are available on the first floor of Ocean 5. The master suite features a spacious oceanfront balcony with spectacular views, where guests can enjoy a leisurely breakfast or take in a romantic sunset. This suite features an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and a luxurious bathtub, while every other bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Air-conditioning is featured throughout the villa, with ceiling fans fitted in each of the bedrooms as well as the main living space.
This island oasis is ideally situated between two of Antigua’s dazzling beaches: Darkwood Beach and Ffryes Beach. On Ffryes Beach, the resort’s private sun loungers are laid out on the sand. Guests have exclusive access to Tamarind Hills Beach Club a few steps away, boasting its own bar, restaurant and salt-water swimming pool. For a choice of excellent restaurants, the marina at Jolly Harbour is only a five-minute drive away.
What Oliver loves...
- Breakfast on the villa’s private terrace with the sound of the Caribbean Sea lapping gently below is a heavenly experience
- Antigua is a small island with big personality! We still dream about the bewitching panoramic views from Shirley Heights, where we enjoyed a cocktail in the late evening sun
- Make sure to visit at least one of Antigua’s five national parks for a great day spent in the fresh air, before returning to Ocean 5 for a refreshing swim in your own private pool
- We adored visiting St. John’s, the pretty Antiguan capital, where there is a lively market at the harbour every weekend
