Welcome to another issue of Virgin Islands Property & Yacht; this month we home in on summer and the bliss of beach lifestyle.

Things We Lovekicks off our July publication, preparing you for summer travels. Perhaps you’re taking a vacation back home? Or to a neighbouring island for a quick getaway? Maybe you’re thinking of a staycation? Things We Love has you covered for essentials from our renowned home retailer House.

Our exclusive cover feature—Villa Ventana—shows all of us how real beach-living should appear. Its fluid, contemporary design with large glass panes, captures all the elements of making the home appear one with the outdoors – true seaside serenity.
