Enjoy breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, spectacular sunsets; relax, leave your cares behind….let the sound of the surf romance you….swim in the moonlight, shower under the stars. Welcome to Zandoli, your private villa, a 5 minute walk to the beach, water sports and Pigeon Island - a historic National Park and home of St. Lucia’s internationally famous Jazz Festival. Championship golf, tennis, spas, restaurants, clubs, banks and marinas await, a 5-7 minute ride by car.

This exotic house with its sensuous style of easy luxury and separate cottage (Ti Zan) on an acre of hillside above the sea, combines the best of West Indian architecture with a hint of the east, to create a home of exceptional tropical flair, character and ambiance. With its typical West Indian woodwork, vaulted Indonesian style wooden shingled roofs, organic mix of natural stone, marble, wood and glass, burnt orange exterior, outdoor showers, stone and boulder enclosed pool in lush gardens, and beautiful art collection, this stylish house provides a great location for an exceptional Caribbean villa experience.

The main house is designed around three separate pavilions on different levels, linked by enclosed bridges framing dramatic views. The handmade wooden door of the main pavilion opens into a 700 square foot, marble tiled sitting and dining area, capturing breathtaking 370 degree panoramas of the Caribbean Sea and Pigeon Island. This opens directly onto spacious covered decks overlooking the ocean, perfect for dining, listening to the surf, or simply absorbing the beauty of the surrounding landscape. A modern kitchen with a rustic ambiance opens directly onto the main deck.

The second and third pavilions, flanking the main pavilion on either side, accommodate two equally appointed spacious Master Bedroom Suites with unique, king sized, four poster Balinese bamboo beds, and large, specialty stone tiled bath areas with outdoor showers featuring 12” wide shower “rain heads”, as well as bath tubs. The third bedroom, located at garden level, accommodates a queen size bed with oriental bed-head, unique Mexican furnishings and bathroom en-suite. Each bedroom opens onto exquisite views, and is appointed with ceiling fans and a private patio leading directly to the pool and tropical gardens.

A large, sunny room capturing spectacular views with TV (and cablevision) and overstuffed Indonesian bamboo sofas is located at garden level in the main pavilion, and opens onto a rustic stone-tiled pool patio featuring a wet bar and swimming pool surrounded by a sun deck framed by large boulders, colorful gardens and dramatic ocean vistas - a wonderful place - as one guest put it: “to sip Francesca’s (the housekeeper) wonderful rum punch and watch the spectacular sunset!”

Ti Zan, the separate guest cottage is a perfect hideaway for two. Perched on the hillside above the main house, the views from Ti Zan are even more dramatic. The large covered veranda with its rocking chairs and cane chairs around a round, wooded table, is a perfect place for any meal, or any time.

The deck opens onto a spacious open - plan bedroom with queen size bed, TV with cable, and kitchen tiled in earth toned tumbled marble. The floor to ceiling wooden louvers and large doors are designed to ensure that the drama of the view is fully captured within the cottage at all times. The shower area is unique. Tiled with local river and imported stone, the area is suspended outdoors with large traditional wooden windows flung wide open to embrace the view. The cottage may be booked with the main house or separately.

Both Zandoli and Ti Zan were designed with a blend of modern and traditional architectural detailing of their roofs, eaves and windows to capture the most of the prevailing Trade Winds to ensure tropical, yet cool comfort year round.
