The Rock Villa, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
This eight-suite residence on the island of Bequia pairs the seclusion of a large, private villa with the full-blown amenities of an adjacent beach resort. Set on a promontory overlooking Friendship Bay, this is the island’s largest rental property and features an infinity pool, gym, media room and dedicated staff. With a nod to its Swedish owners, the interiors are relaxed and airy, mixing furnishings from Danish brands Gubi and BoConcept with handmade mirrors and rugs by British designers Simpsons and William Yeoward.
