Teora

Overlooking the peaceful bay just to the west of the lagoon of Grand Cul de Sac, Teora provides a refuge for easy living along with pleasing design. Decorated with furniture by Christian Liaigre, this home is the sister villa to the slightly larger Marigot Bay villa, just up the hill. A hardwood deck runs the length of the main house, with an outdoor dining table, chaises for lying in the sun, and a generous plunge pool for cooling off on hot days. The beach at Teora is just a short walk away, and the calm waters there are perfect for snorkelling or swimming laps to start the morning off right. The interior living room and master bedroom open directly onto the terrace and view, but can also be closed with large sliding glass doors for quiet, air-conditioned comfort.

The kitchen is small but efficient, with a gas range-top, a medium-sized Liebherr fridge, and a Nespresso machine and juicer. Teora may be rented in conjunction with the villa Marigot Bay to create a four-bedroom compound ideal for larger families or groups of friends vacationing together.
