If you are looking for something different from the usual spa retreats and holiday resorts, consider Frenchmans Lookout, a two-storey Carolina house nestled comfortably in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Its commanding presence above the Sir Francis Drake Channel was the reason for its popularity as an infamous pirates’ lookout. Its colorful history, however, does not overshadow its current status as one of the finest luxury estates in the Caribbean.
The Frenchmans Lookout offers a private retreat for 10 people. Beautifully-finished, and with wrap-around porches on each floor, elegance is the key word here. A freshwater lap pool and a six-person hot tub are among the lavish spa-like amenities. Even the surrounding gardens are spotted with specimen trees, providing a tinge of gardenia and jasmine scents in the air.
The estate’s privacy is complemented by its professionally-trained staff, including a private chef for your convenience. Since Frenchmans Lookout only accepts a small group at a time, you are encouraged to customize your itinerary to suit your needs.
