Sunset Vista is a unique villa located at the summit of Reeds Point in Jolly Harbour. The villa offers a panoramic view of Pearns Point, the turquoise Caribbean Sea and tranquil surrounding area. The concept of Sunset Vista was inspired by Entrepreneur, Richard Branson’s asian influenced developments in the British Virgin Islands. Sunset Vista’s architecture is intimately tied to place and time keenly responsive to the needs of an expansive lifestyle, offering multiple possibilities for enjoying life in the tropics.

Giuseppe Tulumello, architect and contractor, executed an exceptional project resulting in the villa offering distinct Balinese architectural designs and interior decor. The authenticity of the villa is seen through the traditional thatched roofs constructed by carpenters from Bali, artfully hand-carved columns, and custom furniture imported from the Philippines. The serene tropical garden of Sunset Vista is unique where the sunlight, heat, scent and vibrant colours create a captivating sensory experience.

In structure, the villa resembles a "settlement" with buildings of varying heights where canopies link the main buildings, while the secondary ones stand independently. The main area of the Villa is designed with a pavilion, kitchen/informal dining room, and ensuite master bedroom all connected by a covered pathway.

The pavilion is centrally located, designed for a variety of activities, and can be reached on opposite sides, from the ensuite master bedroom and from the kitchen-dining room. The pavilion, with a glorious hendecagon Asian roof and curved infinity pool embraces the sea, air and sky, an open-plan living space, and organic materials such as exotic Asian woods and cultured stones.

The pavilion is designed as the main lounge area with a barbecue grill and reveals a magnificent backdrop. The detailed woven rattan furniture, ornate ceiling fans, mahogany colored palette décor and Sonos system adds to the authentic charm of the villa. The pavilion can be enclosed with beautiful wooden, folding louvre doors.

The kitchen-dining room is modern with sleek custom cabinetry, a wine chiller, six burner stove top, refrigerator, and microwave. The stately kitchen offers additional countertops with a second Kholer pull down faucet. The dining table seats a party of six. The deck overlooks the western oceanview.

The infinity pool, directly accessible from the living area, overlooks the Caribbean Sea and merges with its lustrous waters. The pool and deck are furnished with comfortable sunbeds to always enjoy the sun. On the ground floor is a media room and ensuite bathroom. On this level, there is direct access to the laundry facilities, garage, pool room and access road.

The ensuite master bedroom offers a 180-degree view from its balcony. The airconditioned room is separated with its intimate bathroom with walk-in shower, and his and hers vanity. Adjacent is a daybed with outdoor shower.

The independent buildings, know as the guest cottages, house two additional ensuite bedrooms. The units have a strong material constitution and "terrestrial" presence, as though anchored to the living basement of the land itself. The fundamental idea is to integrate two opposite concepts: material solidity and upward ascent. This aim is to make the structures simultaneously appear substantial and light – underpining the design of the buildings. Their steeply inclined roofs spring toward the sky and open up to the landscape.

The stonewalls throughout the property are a collection of rocks and stones collected during construction. The outcome is a graceful villa that respects the land and sea as it aspires towards ethereal beauty as seen with its hidden gazebo in the gardens.

In addition to Sunset Vista, there is a 0.5 acre plot of land inclusive. This plot overlooks the entire Jolly Harbour community. This property is an exquisite gem of real estate.
