EvangelineAntigua, Long Island, Jumby Bay Island

Villa Evangeline is a luxurious getaway for up to twelve people that combines the bespoke service of the luxury Jumby Bay estate with the seclusion of a private retreat. Located in an exclusive island resort two miles from Antigua that is only accessible by boat, Villa Evangeline is set in lush green gardens on the waterfront of Harbour Bay. It offers sumptuous sea views and generous swaths of outdoor space for wining and dining. One of the most secluded places in the world, V.C. Bird International Airport is nevertheless just a three-minute drive and then a seven-minute boat ride away from Jumby Bay.

This boutique bolthole is home to a nautically-inspired design concept, with fresh whites and neutral hues complementing its light and airy layout. Five opulent bedrooms channel a relaxed ambience, with rooms on the upper floor of the property opening onto a sunny and spacious veranda. Red tiling on the roof and pretty open gables on the ground-floor terrace conjure up the feel of Spanish colonial architecture. A delightful dining gazebo and fully equipped barbecue area create gorgeous outlets for long, leisurely group meals. Villa Evangeline's inviting pool reaches out to the aquamarine waters of the bay, and is lined by an enormous deck peppered with daybeds and sofas.

At Villa Evangeline, you and your visitors can unwind exactly as you wish. Stroll along the warm white sands of the bay amid the scurrying hermit crabs, snorkel on the coral reef or simply sit back under the dappled shade of a palm tree and watch the world pass you by. With access to Jumby Bay Resort’s fitness and tennis facilities, there are plenty of opportunities for an invigorating workout, and more intrepid types can try their hand at water skiing, paddle boarding or sunfish sailing.
