About the Home
Arriving at Villa Encore is a journey into tropical serenity. A long, palm-lined drive flanked by exotic flowers, lush trees, and verdant shrubs leads to the villa's grand entrance. The Moorish-inspired soaring arches of the main entrance frame a glimpse of the sapphire-blue Caribbean Sea, drawing you into the cool-expansive interiors. Outside, a turquoise pool, bordered by palms and flamboyant trees, stretches the length of the terrace connecting the villa seamlessly to the breathtaking views. Inside, Villa Encore offers a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort, with expansive spaces for lounging, dining, and cooking. Travertine tile floors flow gracefully throughout the interiors, and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open completely to let in the sea breezes and unobstructed views. The villa's kitchen is one of the largest on the island, equipped for inspired gourmet cooking with light wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and two professional-sized refrigerators. Wraparound counters provide casual dining while allowing chefs to interact with guests and enjoy the vista. The double living room, divided by color palettes, blends contemporary style with exotic touches. One side features soft neutrals, while the other combines white with vibrant accents, creating an inviting and sophisticated environment. Outdoor living at Villa Encore is equally exceptional. Multiple seating areas and dining terraces take full advantage of the lush gardens and panoramic sea views. A builtin barbecue complements the lower dining terrace, while sculpted loungers line the heated pool for sun-soaked relaxation. Covered areas with Singapore-style fans provide refreshing breezes, and a rooftop terrace offers a poetic perch to admire the Caribbean horizon. The villa's five primary bedrooms are of equal size and each opens to the terrace with sweeping sea views. Spa-inspired bathrooms include outdoor showers with private seating, allowing guests to connect with tropical nature in absolute privacy. The decor mixes contemporary lines and textures with exotic accents such as teak poster beds, curated art, and tranquil color palettes. A sixth bedroom, recently added, enjoys garden views and maintains the same contemporary, refined style as the original rooms. Additional amenities include a fully equipped gym with an outdoor shower and sea view, completing the villa's dedication to luxury and wellness. Despite its seclusion, Encore is conveniently located.
