Romantic getaways for groups of friends don't have to mean jostling for time in the loo or longing for a private moment! Just right for adult retreats, all of our villas lend themselves quite well to the proper atmosphere for love.  

Far from ordinary are these 3 BR villas:  Grenada villa Caribella  comes complete with a cook + maid and laundry services:  a total respite from everyday cares, so that you can concentrate on each other!  Enjoy a special Military Discount at  Villa Des Great Chefs on St. Croix, which offers both privacy and a lush setting.  St. John's Palm Vista is a visual joy on 2 levels!  Bliss and Carefree are located on St. Thomas within the famed Mahogany Run Golf estate.  St. Thomas' Peterborg neighborhood is the home of Stargate with its dramatic views, while Villa Gardenia overlooks Mandahl Bay.  Also on St. Thomas, Maison Veldkamp is easily accessible, yet gated for privacy.  The Ritz-Carlton Club St. Thomas offers both 2 and 3 BR Residences and Suites.   

Asian flavor greets you at Tortola's Arundel near Cane Garden Bay;  on the opposite shore sits Seven Peaks, where you can walk from the villa into cool waters and a reef for snorkeling. For more on Tortola, enjoy classic style at Canefield House, Refuge and Emerald Crest to the north, or make your way westward for the charms of Sunny Side Up, Tara and Long Bay's Murray House.  Take in the horizon at Full Circle, an eclectic beachside property on Virgin Gorda's Nail Bay... or kick up your heels in the cool waters just a quick stroll from Open Deck at Mahoe Bay. 

Experience unforgettable luxury in these 4 BR homes:  Old world charm rules at Mango Hill Great House on St. Croix.  Grenada's Swallow Villa comes with cook + maid & laundry services.  Beachfront 2B at Peter Bay on St. John sets a unique standard. Also on St. John, Great Turtle Villa boasts 4 equal-sized bedrooms.  St. Thomas' East End is within easy reach from Azula Vista, but the island is your oyster, as you will also find Casa Lupa and Pallina in Peterborg, Ventana on Flag Hill, High View in Mafolie, Indochine in Estate Harmony, and Infinity presiding over a sweeping view of the Charlotte Amalie waterfront, eastwards.    

The beautiful flora and peace of Tortola's Allamanda will soothe your soul;  Gestalt (part of the Steele Point Estate) is an oasis of calm, and Toa-Toa House will add �lan to your getaway.  At Virgin Gorda's Leverick Bay, Anniversary House will captivate you.  Very near to each other, the incredible Sol y Sombra sits right on a beach at Little Trunk Bay, and modern On the Rocks is a quick walk away (these two villas are often rented together by large parties).  Stroll to Mahoe Bay Virgin Gorda from Villa Valmarc, or place yourself right at the water's edge in Villa on the Beach or Sea Fans! 

Serene grandeur is yours in 5 BRs:  Historic Clairmont Mill on St. Croix will delight and charm you.  In exclusive Peter Bay St. John, you'll find Bel Horizon, Delfina, Seacove, and Villa Carlota.  St. John villa Kismet is a fantasy made real.  On St. Thomas, Banana is a pristine work of art on the north side - Star Garden captures the splendor of ocean vistas, and L'Esperance overlooks Charlotte Amalie;  and Blue Serenity and Cabrita Cliff Haus provide elegant East End respites from the world.  

Excellent attention + chef services enhance your stay at Asian-influenced Golden Pavilion on Tortola. On Tortola's very West End sits magnificent Steele Point, which was cited by Architectural Digest.  Walk to the beautiful waters of Smugglers Cove from Sade, or enjoy the Cove via a shaded path or from the private dock at Gun Point.  On sister British Virgin Island Virgin Gorda, Sandcastle is right on a beach that is perfect for moonlit strolls. 

These 6 BR properties will thrill you:   On St. Croix, Estate Belvedere offers seclusion and room to explore.  Overlooking Rendezvous Bay on St. John, Mare Blu incorporates the brilliance of nature.  Stately VI Friendship Villa (also on St. John) offers convenience to the nearby Westin Resort.  Convenient to the activities and night life on the East End of St. Thomas, Great View provides easy comforts.  On Tortola, relish the pleasures and the views of Summer Heights!  Virgin Gorda's Loblolly is a wonderful beachfront property on Mahoe Bay.   

Villas like none other - 9 and 10 BRs:   St. John's � la Mer (9 BRs) is a waterfront jewel, within a walk of the Westin Resort.  With the Charlotte Amalie harbor at its feet, Bellagio Estate offers 10 bedrooms on 2 levels + its own tennis court!

Our guests do not only marry here, but they continue to visit and celebrate many milestones, including birthdays, anniversaries, and vow renewals.  Many of our relationships span decades!  We are happy to share our online guide to island weddings on our web site, and here, we share a few tips! 

1. Get in touch with us as part of the planning process.  We can help you to explore as many options as possible to create the wedding you desire
2. Find out about any legal requirements such as minimum length of stay before the ceremony and any paperwork needed
3. Decide on the type of ceremony you want and whether you would like to get married in your villa.  *See below for villas in our portfolio at which weddings and other gatherings are permitted
4. Consider a wedding planner to help iron out all the details needed before, during and after.  Your planner should be licensed and be of good reputation
5. Keep us informed of any vendors that you may hire and provide us with all names and contacts so that we are fully aware of who will be providing services inside the properties that we manage;  it is part of our responsibility to the owner, and also to you, our honored guest
6. Let your vendors know the rules by providing them with our Wedding Policy, as the villa guest is ultimately responsible for the villa - this will avoid any misunderstandings or confusion
