Tamarind House

Tamarind House means different things to the people who have already experienced its beauty and legendary hospitality. The rare luxury of space and privacy - room to relax, to breathe, rejuvenate and dream. Covering, 8850 sq ft of space, this exceptionally large house is constructed of local stone with high greenheart ceilings and Barbados tile floors throughout.

A staircase, descending from the car park, leads you into a cool, circular courtyard filled with banana plants and flowers. As you pass through the graceful arched doorway, the enormous, 2550 sq ft living room stretches away before you and leads to the terrace where the tamarind tree grows up out of the tiles. This fabulous tree provides shade and coolness to the house all through the day.

The main house has two main bedrooms and one bedroom which is suitable for children under the age of 15 with three bathrooms. The separate Cottage consists of a master bedroom suite with its own living room, kitchenette, dressing area, marble bathroom, king-size four-poster bed, and terrace. The master bedroom is 640 sq ft of the bedroom and private terrace with a beautiful antique king-size four-poster bed, side tables, a hand-carved standing cheval mirror, and a small armoir. There is a walk-in closet with a safe, and an Italian tiled bathroom with a tub/shower and two sinks. The Piton view from the bed is framed by bougainvillea climbing up the stone walls. The second bedroom has 415 sq ft of bedroom and private terrace with a queen four-poster bed, carved standing mirror, two side tables with Chinese blue and white lamps, and a marble-topped antique table beside the walk-in closet. The ensuite marble bathroom with shower has high-quality fixtures and a chrome mirror. The third bedroom is for children and has a double and a single four-poster bed. It also has its own private terrace and Italian tiled bathroom with a shower. (There is no additional charge for use of 4th bedroom when booked at full house rate, but an additional staffing fee may apply).

Steps down from the main house take you to the pool, an edge is open on one side to give uninterrupted views of the Pitons. Jeep rental is recommended.
