Mapou Hill Villa, Carriacou
Mapou Hill Villa, Carriacou
“Mapou Villa” is a newly constructed two bedroom vacation villa, high on the Eastern face of Carriacou’s highest hill, known as High North. The villa boasts unparalleled views of the village below, the blue- green lagoon behind the white fringed reef, and the islands of Petite Martinique, Petit St. Vincent, Palm Island and the rest of the Grenadines stretching all the way to St. Vincent. On a moonlight night, when the moon rises above Petit Martinique and turns the sea golden, one can only marvel at the spectacular scene below. Plan your vacation for the full moon to enjoy this unimaginable experience.
This home is perfectly positioned to enjoy the constant, cooling, trade-winds, which makes air-conditioning completely unnecessary. With its expansive, hammock-equipped verandah, fully equipped modern kitchen, and thrice-weekly housekeeper/cook service, “Mapou Villa” is a perfect place to which to escape, but comes with WiFi, TV, local cell phone, CD player and stereo…. and to enjoy all the tranquility that Carriacou has to offer.
Carriacou (pronounced ‘Carry-a-Cou’ and meaning Land of Reefs) is an undiscovered paradise, offering the perfect hideaway for those who want to escape the beaten tourist track and are looking for a different holiday experience. It has a natural beauty which adds to its appeal and has often been described by travel writers as an ‘uncut diamond’… Visitors to this island gem tend to be well traveled and looking for a different world… and Carriacou does not disappoint.
At just 13 square miles and with a population of approximately 6,000 people, Carriacou is the largest and most Southern island in the Grenadines– the small island chain between St Vincent and Grenada where some of the most exclusive … and expensive.. island resort destinations in the world, including Mustique, Palm Island, Canouan and Petit St Vincent, the playgrounds of the rich and famous are scattered.
Mapou Villa shares over one acre of fully fenced, gated and landscaped grounds with a one bedroom cottage– Mapou Cottage….which is also available for holiday rental. This unit is much smaller but shares the same glorious views and cooling breezes. It is ideal for a couple only. It is fully equipped also. Inquire if you are interested.
Although some visitors may seek to stay in or near the main town or a beach, islanders know that the town or beach is only 10 minutes away by bus, taxi or rental car for virtually anywhere, and that the view and cooling breezes on the hillsides are overwhelmingly more important and enjoyable.
We hope that you will choose us for your discovery of Carriacou… we promise to do everything possible to give you an amazing holiday experience.
