Virgin Gorda is celebrated as the showcase isle of the British Virgin Islands with its affluent yacht clubs, excellent marinas, luxury resorts and exquisite restaurants. Pristine beaches and the natural wonders of Virgin Gorda’s National Parks, complement the eminence of the island, encouraging its shining perfection when brought into comparison with sister isles.
Possessing this magnificent reputation, Virgin Gorda is also home to one of most astounding architectural accomplishments in Caribbean property development, revealed in the prestigious private home of The Villa Estate at Casey Bay.
Presented by British Virgin Islands Sotheby’s International Realty broker Maritha Keil, this is a property that stands as the personification of expert craftsmanship and an intriguing blend of nature and nurture, found with tangible unity in every room.
Situated in the beautiful Little Dix Estate, the famous Caribbean resort’s area indiscernibly surrounds the remarkable Casey Bay villa, inviting homeowners into a community bathed in luxury.

On admission to the fully-furnished property, the canopied entrance extends into a spacious living room that fully exploits the majestic view via elegant, towering sliding doors with grand window panes. The neutral colours—consistent with the gentle sea-colour concept—and well-crafted stone and woodwork, sing of the extraordinary proficiency invested in the property’s design. The intricate architecture of the walls and floors of the property aid its appreciation of nature, complementing the encompassing stone, vegetation and sea.
The outdoor area of the property presents the ideal settings for accommodating small to large groups of guests, whether celebrating special occasions with friends or extended family.
The discerning interior design presents four incredible en suite bedrooms breathing fresh meaning into the definitions of comfort and relaxation. The Master Bedroom’s presence is amplified by contemporary art, fine fabrics and custom-designed woodwork – evidence of expert craftsmanship and talent.
A large glass-walled shower on the interior and a double shower on the exterior of the bathroom, combined with a marble whirlpool, “tea-for-two” bathtub against a window, bestow serene views of the seascape. A double, marble-topped vanity unit, a separate water closet and two walk-in wardrobes complete the room’s facilities for unadulterated ease and wellness.
A spacious hallway meanders from the Master Bedroom to the adjoining guest bedroom, study and main living areas.
The additional guest bedroom in the main house harbours en suite facilities and a dressing area with a grand terrace beyond.
The gourmet kitchen and dining areas are to the East of the living room and have black, honed granite surfaces, a large central breakfast bar/prep area and high-end appliances. The kitchen itself affords passionate chefs with ample, social space for displaying their culinary arts and simultaneously provides inspiration to inquisitive amateur cooks with its stunning layout.
There are three powder rooms – one neighbouring the poolside, one near the laundry and one near the main living area.
The infinity edge curved swimming pool with inset steps to one side and magnificent panoramic views of the Channel Islands and Atlantic Ocean, capture the glorious view from the property at its best.
Accessed from a path leading upward and westward from the swimming pool terrace are the two guest casitas. Each house has king or twin beds, indoor and outdoor seating areas with kitchenette, an en suite bathroom, a dressing room and is complemented with indoor and outdoor showers and a private terrace overlooking the sea.
The gardens are planted to contribute to the calm, natural property setting. Also accessed from the swimming pool terrace, is the winding path leading down to the charming, white sandy beach below, known as Casey Bay.
Engineered with professional foresight, there are catacombs throughout the underground of the property with a vast amount of skill invested in the fortifications, supporting the elevated bearing of the property.
