Atlantis

The living space has two areas: the formal lounge looks onto the villa’s capacious wrap-around verandah and pool deck through tall, wide French windows which echo the arched style of the entrance. The interior walls are a beautiful, textural mixture of coral and natural local stone; its silvery grey tones contrasting with the high vaulted, dark-stained ceiling, an original feature which was hand-crafted from beautifully finished natural wood. A casual-style TV den complete with a 50-inch smart TV and pool/air hockey table lies to the right off the main living space and the kitchen and formal dining room open up to the left.

From crisp, white cabinetry and modern fixtures to granite countertops and state-of-the-art appliances, the family kitchen at Atlantis is spacious enough for casual dining, and impressively appointed for entertaining. It leads to the formal dining room, with its solid wood, refectory-style table and seating room for eight to 12.

Through every arched window of Atlantis there is a breathtaking panorama, and a step through any one of the French windows reveals some of the villa’s extensive views. The outdoor living area is a seamless extension of indoors, with comfortable areas for relaxing and dining, and access to the 60-foot infinity pool with its bird’s eye vantage of the hills and golf course below. To the west, the panorama extends from Mount Pimard and Rodney Bay to Pigeon Island, with Martinique sometimes visible on the horizon. To the east, the wraparound verandah peeks towards the Atlantic off Cas En Bas Bay: all around the property, balmy breezes and shady corners keep the indoor and outdoor spaces cool all day long.

Several guest bedrooms are laid out in an interlocking floor plan off the beautiful indoor/outdoor atrium off the courtyard. Cathedral ceilings and lots of arched windows ensure every bedroom is bright and airy. There are five bedrooms in total: Bedroom one is to the left of the courtyard and has a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The other four queen bedrooms are functionally laid out, of which three feature an en-suite bathroom. Within easy reach of these bedrooms is a cozy TV room, complete with DVD and a small movie selection.

Atlantis is a unique and impressive property, sprawling and spacious, but with a warm and welcoming family ambiance, and a layout designed for entertaining. Perched on top of its hilltop vantage point, secluded yet private Atlantis boasts a 10-minute drive to most amenities and attractions of Rodney Bay.
