Bird of Paradise Villa
The owners at Bird of Paradise, named a top Bird of Paradisein the world by Island and Ocean Home magazines, stress that Anguilla is not steamy like the U.S. during the summer, with its island breezes and temperatures up just a degree or two. Owner Jon Dill remembers Long Island summers. “You never need to worry about stifling hot days for your summer picnic on Anguilla, No jelly fish or horseshoe crabs to worry about and always the beautiful, turquoise water.”
Seas are calmer, with water remarkably clear, making summer perfect for sailing to the barrier islands. Exploring deserted islands is great family fun. “Our concierge will recommend our favorite boatman to take you to Dead Man’s Cove on the backside of Scrub Island,” Dill says. “This is the last beach between the islands of the Caribbean and Africa. A great spot to find shells, sea glass and messages in a bottle. Also, all winter long the waves fill the holes in the coral cliffs with water, which, then, evaporate in the summer months, leaving sea salt for collection. My wife, Melody, uses it for bathing and cooking.” Snorkelers or scuba divers will see big fish closer to the shore during summer. And turtle encounters are great family fun.
Summers are the Dills’ favorite time on Anguilla, but “it’s a tough sell for Americans who can only think of how hot and steamy the southern USA is and, of course, have hurricanes on their minds.” With fewer summer visits, rates drop; visitors can save $1,000/night over high-season rates. Should a hurricane pass through, the Bird of Paradise will fully refund any days lost. The luxury property is ideal for gatherings. There are two pools, multiple living and dining areas and each bedroom is a master suite, with outstanding Caribbean views.
The “Bird” will fit packages within a client’s budget-from just the villa, to a villa with continental breakfast and daily housekeeping, or all-inclusive rates that include villa, chef and cost of meals. Their comprehensive website includes a video tour, floor plan and photos of every room as well as the hidden hideaways of this expansive property.
