Located on a private beach in the northeastern corner of the Caribbean’s Jumby Bay Island, Tamarind Cove is a haven of peace, privacy and tranquility.
Spread across an immaculately groomed 5 acres of palm-studded tropical gardens and surrounded by the sea and rock outcroppings, it’s the ultimate retreat for those fed up with the hustle, bustle and grime of city life. The seven-bedroom villa is set across 12,300 sq. ft. of space, boasting its own pool cabana, private beach, pier and boat dock, belying the name of its architect Andrew Goodenough.
The main house comprises of a great room with dining and living areas, a study, kitchen and master bedroom, which in itself offers a living area, private terrace and en-suite bathroom with outdoor garden tub. The real treats are the tennis court, courtyard and the infinity pool, which gives the illusion of stretching out to the crystal azure yonder.
There’s also 6 guest rooms, all of which are away from the central dwelling, and have their own terrace, sitting room and bar areas. Trellised walkways give ease of access between all sections of the resort, granting a reprieve from the Caribbean heat should it be desired, although the trade winds will ensure that temperatures remain comfortable regardless.
