Sol y Sombra (Sun and Shade) is a premium vacation property unlike any other in the Caribbean. Set right on one of the Caribbean's most beautiful and tucked-away beaches, including The Baths, Devil's Bay, Spring Bay, and Valley Trunk Bay.

Sol y Sombra's five private pavilions offer luxury and seclusion in a sublime and unforgettable tropical setting, with over an acre of tropical gardens. The property is completely fenced and gated within an inclusive enclave on Virgin Gorda's scenic leeward coast.

Private Luxury

Sol Y Sombra is an ultra-deluxe private estate located on an incredible white-sand beach, only steps away from the 30-foot vanishing-edge pool. Five pavilions set within a fully-fenced and gated manicured grounds, are well separated for maximum privacy. The grounds are layed with luxurious gardens, vibrant flowers, and tall palm trees. All five bedroom pavilions are air-conditioned and have spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. All of the bedroom pavilions are uniquely decorated and furnished, and all have their own private bath, TV, DVD, ceiling fans, mini-fridges, safes and phones.

The Bedroom Pavilions

Sol y Sombra has four bedroom pavilions in total, with its three beachfront pavilions surrounding the 30-foot vanishing edge swimming pool. All offer spectacular views of the Caribbean and the estate's landscaped gardens. The villa has five separate bedroom suites, each with a private outdoor terrace, bath, air conditioning, flat-screen television, DVD, mini-refrigerator and telephone.

All suites are furnished with custom-crafted solid teak furniture, cushions and luxury cottons. Hand-assembled native stone, honey-colored French limestone and lavender marble give each suite an elegant, timeless aura. French doors allow each pavilion to open completely to the sea breezes.

The master bedroom suite is the closest to the beach, with a private path to Valley Trunk Bay and to Little Trunk Bay. This suite has two private terraces, a stunning shower with ocean vistas, spacious bath with lavender marble vanity, desk alcove, and king British colonial poster bed.

Sugar Mill Pavilion

The Sugar Mill houses two suites, with separate entrances. The lower suite adjoins the 30-foot long vanishing-edge pool, with an oversized bath and walk-in closet and dressing area. Two single beds furnish this suite designed particularly with children or young adults in mind. The single beds can be converted to a king bed upon request. This pavilion is closest to the marble stairs that lead down to the beach.The upper Sugar Mill suite is a dramatic adult retreat, with one of the most spectacular views in the Caribbean. The outdoor terraces rest on a two-story boulder, offering a panorama of neighboring islands and cays.

Tennis Pavillion

The tennis pavilion located behind the main pavilion has its own separate living room, terrace, observation deck and master bedroom suite. It has a bedroom with a king bed, bathroom and a living area with 2 twin day-beds and a small kitchenette. Up top it has a deck with a hammock. The lighted private tennis court allows guests to enjoy a game of tennis, at any time of the day, without reservations. And, the tennis court doubles as a basketball court.

The Main Pavilion

The main pavilion offers a European-style kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and granite counters, an office with facsimile, computer, telephone and internet access, and a formal dining room. The Great Room's formal dining area seats twelve guests inside, and includes an informal dining area on the terrace, a private half-bath. A cook is available upon request. At night, the elegant living room is transformed into a private movie theater so that guests may enjoy their own movies with a professional sound system.

The Pool

Sol y Sombra's vanishing edge swimming pool melts into the Caribbean a few feet from a seaside lawn. Sol y Sombra is a secluded tropical paradise with exotic palms, cactus, sea grape and bougainvillea on its more than an acre of gardens.

The Beach

The villa borders two spectacular beaches, one a broad expanse of coral sand framed by palm trees and the surf, and the second a sheltered cove protected by Virgin Gorda's uniquely dramatic boulders. Sol y Sombra's guests enjoy the mystery and drama of Virgin Gorda's famous "Baths" on their very own secluded beaches. A living reef beckons just beyond the villa's lawn. Valley Trunk Bay has over 1,000 feet of unspoiled beach. The villa's Little Trunk Bay beach extends for approximately 350 feet, protected by its reef and giant boulders.
