Located on the east side of the island, the property is part of the historic Park Estate. Just inside the shaded entry gate lie the ruins of a sugar mill, whose impressive remains testify to the area's long history. The many fragments of pre-Columbian pottery found along the beach speak of an even older past, as do the ancient trails that wind through the surrounding woodlands.

Embracing Nature

Park Bay House makes the most of its enchanting environment. The spacious rear courtyard, built from native stone, has a raised dining and barbecue area shaded by a beautiful hardwood arbor. The surrounding garden area is relaxing and sheltered, with a hammock strung under mature trees and the hushed sounds of the ocean waves.

Location

Villa Location

Park Bay

Fresh and Breezy this is a refreshing natural beach set in a palm and fruit trees...Lime & Coconuts.... Mountain footpaths lead over the headlands to Bequia's wild and natural uninhabited northern hills. There is a very special villa here tucked into the headland with a glorious sense of away from it all but still with easy access to Crescent, Spring and the Harbour just around the point and over the ridge. Park Bay is home to the turtle sanctuary - always worth a visit.
