Virgin Gorda XX completed at the turn of the millennium, is already among the most beautiful and spectacular holiday domiciles in the British Virgin Islands. Built by the renown British architect Michael Helm, whose buildings are often featured in Architectural Digest magazine, this property is yet another masterpiece of superb design.
Situated on the west side of Virgin Gorda on a rocky outcrop directly above the sea between Mahoe Bay and Pond Bay, the villa offers breathtaking ocean views over Sir Francis Drake Channel where you can see the Caribbean as well as the Atlantic. From the villa's own infinity swimming pool, you can look across turquoise blue, shimmering water to Tortola and the neighboring Dog Islands.
Virgin Gorda XX includes the main house in pyramid shape, four large suites, and an additional, even more spacious master bedroom, each with an en-suite bath and private verandah with breathtaking sea views. The pyramid-shaped main house, visible from far offshore, is eleven meters (34') high and offers space for social gatherings as well as reclusion on three levels.
The lowest level features a superbly decorated living area with comfortable English couches, teak dining table seating up to 14 people, BOSE stereo system with an extensive CD collection, and a professional kitchen meeting the most exacting standards. Outdoor living and dining verandahs surround these Greathouse interior areas.
A staircase takes you to the Gallery on the second floor with a library, wide-screen TV, and four comfortable loungers which can be made into additional beds. Part of the room overlooks the dining and living area while the other side has large windows for viewing the sea and Virgin Gorda. Guests will find the Gallery a special place to relax, play games, and watch videos.
A steep steel ladder allows access to the very highest point of the villa and you will find the "Crow's Nest" at the top of the pyramid on the third level, an ideal vantage point to observe the star-studded night sky. Big pillows are scattered here and there on the Persian carpet; a hammock allows for private and peaceful escape.
Wide verandahs surround the main house and provide clusters of gathering areas. A breakfast corner overlooks Mango Bay beach and sea; hammocks allow for peaceful relaxing, and a pair of hanging swings face "sky seats". One verandah features an outdoor bar overlooking the pool deck.
Each suite has a ceiling fan, air-conditioning, AIWA CD player, coral sandstone floors, and a spacious bathroom featuring a shower with fitted bench, toilet, and bidet. The hand-crafted teak bed has a king-sized mattress of hygienic, anti-allergic, and ergonomically beneficial latex foam.
Paths to the private coral sand beach of Mahoe Bay or to the adjacent Savannah Bay can be reached easily on foot or by rental car. A pier and the Italian restaurant "Giorgio's Table" are found at the base of the rock on which Katitche Point Greathouse is situated.
The villa has comprehensive guest services, a full-day housekeeper, and a gardener who looks after the pool, the garden, and the area surrounding the house. A chef can be hired on request; a hire car is recommended. Baby-sitters can be arranged.
Guests have three nearby beaches to enjoy. Mahoe Bay Beach is a five minute walk down the hill, or you might prefer to drive there. Snorkeling gear, beach volleyball set, badminton, and beach toys are available at the villa; hours can be spent playing on the beaches or snorkeling the protected reefs in calm waters. Beautiful Pond and Savannah Bay beaches are only a five minute ride away.
