Lime Hill

Villa Lime Hill, Antigua, English Harbour.

Villa Lime Hill is an architectural gem in the English Harbour area of Antigua and is positioned directly above Galleon Beach; a 2019 winner of Conde Nast Traveler magazine recognition as one of the world’s best beaches. Set on a hillside, it is within minutes of some of the most coveted attractions and destinations on the entire island. It gazes out at Freeman’s Bay and Nelson’s Dockyard (two of the most frequently visited spots on the island), but it is not an overcrowded view of the area. Instead, guests can marvel at the white sand beaches and picturesque beauty of the bay that dominates the scene and take in the sight of boats bobbing in and out of the bay.

However, this remarkable island masterpiece is designed in a traditional style with its decorative latticework on the porches and balconies, a furnished pool terrace, and a charming al fresco dining spot in the garden. There are also lounging spaces on different levels. An upper-level terrace offers wooden shades against the afternoon sun, and the living area is furnished as a lounge or dining suite.

Just inside, the shared living spaces manage to erase the lines between interiors and exteriors with the immense doors and windows open to allow the delicious sea breezes and right sunlight to enter. As soon as you step in from the upper story terrace, you enter the great room. Here, high, blonde-wood ceilings are paired with cool terrazzo flooring and a blend of colonial-inspired furniture updated to offer a spin on the classics. There is a lounge area with spindle chairs and overstuffed sofas, a classic dining area, and the full kitchen. Furnished with premium appliances and gear it is designed to allow the cook to enjoy the same scenery as everyone else and never miss a moment of the fun.

The four bedrooms are divided between the floors with the master suite upstairs. All four bedrooms are king-sized suites and they each have air conditioning, a balcony or access to the pool and terrace, and a large, opulently designed bathroom.

Villa Lime Hill is a rare find with its gorgeous style and its show-stopping views. It is an ideal way to experience the very best that Antigua has to offer and it would work well for larger families or groups of highly discerning travelers eager to experience world-class design, décor, and amenities.
