Estate of the Day: Virgin Gorda

Baraka Point is a 9500 sq.ft. luxury oceanfront estate at Nail Bay, on the west coast of Virgin Gorda, offering guests their own corner of paradise with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea & the neighboring islands. Designed around the concepts of privacy & relaxed elegance, Baraka Point consists of a series of copper-peaked pavilions set apart in 2 acres of tropically landscaped gardens, and decorated with silks & furnishings from India, Morocco & Indonesia.

The main pavilion encompasses the living, lounging & dining areas, with satellite TV, wide-screen digital TV, Playstation 2, a collection of board games, CDs, DVDs & books in Baraka Point’s library. For guests wishing to stay in touch with the outside world, there’s a laptop & WiFi throughout the property. The main pavilion also has a sweeping sun terrace leading onto an infinity-edge pool with unparalleled views, and a 2nd terrace for alfresco dining or relaxation in the villa’s giant teak hammock. A large wooden sun deck, set in the boulders by the water’s edge, provides guests with an idyllic spot to watch spectacular sunsets!

Baraka Point has 3 additional pavilions housing 5 oceanview suites, plus 4 small bedrooms for children, thus accommodating up to 14 guests (with a maximum of 10 adults).
