Discover Tingalayo Villa: A Holiday That Truly Feels Like Paradise
Every once in a while, you find yourself in a place so extraordinary that you pause, take a deep breath, and think… This is as good as it gets. Tingalayo Villa is that place.
Perched atop a private mountaintop at the end of a secluded road, Tingalayo is more than just a villa—it’s a private hamlet of seven interconnected buildings, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces with lush gardens and panoramic views. Inspired by Balinese design, the over 9,000 square feet of understated elegance welcomes cool cross-breezes and offers a perfect balance of large communal gathering spaces and quiet, tucked-away nooks for moments of solitude.
Unmatched 270-Degree Views
Prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking 270-degree views that stretch across the nearby beaches of Smugglers Cove, Long Bay, and Apple Bay. Gaze out over the British Virgin Islands, including Little Thatch, Big Thatch, and Jost Van Dyke, while the vibrant West End of Tortola and Soper’s Hole Marina add to the stunning panorama. On a clear day, you can even see all the way to Puerto Rico.
The heart of Tingalayo, the Great House, offers a cozy living room with plush seating, a television, and a library for reading and relaxation. The indoor dining area opens to expansive covered porches with comfortable seating that invite you to soak in the endless sea, sky, and island views.
The fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a commercial gas range, two full-sized refrigerator/freezers, two dishwashers, and imported granite countertops. Whether you prefer to cook yourself or hire a private chef, the space is designed to handle large gatherings with ease. Additional amenities include an outdoor grill, a separate pantry, and an impressive selection of kitchen essentials.
Adjacent to the Great House is the Dining Pavilion, which seats 12 comfortably around custom-built mahogany tables. Perfectly positioned to capture the breeze and the views, this space is a favorite gathering spot. A built-in sideboard makes serving easy, and two under-counter wine refrigerators ensure that your favorite drinks are always at hand.
At the center of the property, just steps from the Great House, the 45-foot infinity-edge pool cantilevers over the mountainside, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding islands and the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Its unique cloud-shaped design blends seamlessly with the horizon, while the large pool deck, furnished with comfortable loungers, is the perfect spot to watch the morning rainbows, passing sailboats, and unforgettable sunsets.
The Main Bedroom Block includes three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. Two feature king-sized beds, while the third offers the option of a king bed or two twins. Open the windows to welcome the cooling breezes or opt for air conditioning for added comfort.
For the ultimate privacy, the Coqui Suite is just steps away from the Great House along a garden-lined walkway. This serene retreat features a king canopy bed, private ensuite bathroom, ceiling fans, and air conditioning. As night falls, let the soothing sounds of frogs and distant surf lull you to sleep.
Adjacent to the Coqui Suite, the Spa Deck offers a tranquil oasis with an inground spa nestled into the rock hillside. The multi-level deck provides seating and sunning cushions, making it an ideal spot for relaxation.
Tucked between the Great House and the Coqui Suite, the Games Room is a favorite gathering space. Enjoy indoor entertainment in the air-conditioned space, complete with music, television, and games, or head outside to the courtyard for a round of pool. The expansive deck offers breathtaking views of Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Cay, while a half bath and dry bar add to the convenience.
Connected by a paved, lighted pathway, the Guest House is a fully self-contained villa with its own kitchen, living area, plunge pool, and private patio spaces. The ground floor features a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Italian granite countertops, and bar seating for four. A cozy living room with a television and bookshelves opens to an alfresco dining area with seating for six.
Upstairs, the Guest House has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a private balcony. One bedroom features a king bed, while the other offers the flexibility of a king bed or two twins. Both rooms are equipped with ceiling fans and air conditioning for maximum comfort.
Perched above the covered parking area, the air-conditioned gym boasts stunning views of St. John and is the perfect place to keep up with your fitness routine.
Meaning “Little Sky,” Cielito is a charming gazebo that overlooks the entire property. This serene space, located near the Buddha statue, is ideal for meditation, yoga, or even intimate wedding ceremonies. Nearby, a sand sport court offers a fun setting for bocce, cornhole, and other family games.
