Welcome to Dropsey Bay, AKA Lover's Cove on the East End of the island. One look at this darling little stretch of sand and it's not hard to see why this beach is nicknamed Lover's Cove. There is so much to love about this beach and its soothing ocean sounds.
One minute away is NEW Anguilla Card partner Tequila Sunrise Villa...
New Anguilla Card Partner: Tequila Sunrise VillaOverlooking the deep Caribbean Sea and majestic mountains of St. Martin, Tequila Sunrise is one of the leading Anguilla luxury villas.
Located at the opposite (Western) end of Long Pond, Tequila Sunrise offers terrific views of the Caribbean, St. Martin and the double crescent of Long Pond Bay. Truly, tranquility wrapped in blue.
A "love at first sight" feeling strikes you as you pull up to the villa. At the end of a long, smooth dirt road, Tequila Sunrise Villa is truly secluded. Stepping out onto the white pebble driveway gives a sense of serenity. Waiting for you inside is Heather. She takes excellent care of you during your stay. She greets you with chilled towels, snacks and of course, the villa's signature drink, a Tequila Sunrise! Snacks and drinks in hand, let's get acquainted with Tequila Sunrise.
The villa is modern meets Caribbean. It has a clean, white, fine-line design, and is accented with warm Caribbean touches. The main floor is made up of the kitchen, living and dining area, and one master bedroom.
The living, dining and kitchen area is open-concept. Breezes blow through, keeping the temperature comfortable and tropical. The tradewinds remind you of your exotic locale. The kitchen is spacious, with state of the art appliances (fridge, wine fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, stove). For anyone who enjoys cooking, you have plenty of space. The dining area sits by large sliding doors. It can feel like indoor or outdoor living, depending on how wide you leave the doors open, allowing for the breeze to blow through.
The kitchen flows into the living room, which has two-story high ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views at every turn. Wide and expansive, it's easy to fall in love with the living room. Their flat-screen TV is enormous and features Netflix and Sonos.
Each of the bedrooms have been built to have spectacular St. Martin views, air conditioning, and an ensuite bathroom. Each also has a full bathtub, outdoor shower and his and her sinks. They all have flat-screen TVs with access to Netflix. Comfortable Tequila Sunrise robes and slippers are in every room. There is plenty of storage space, and a safe to store precious belongings. The beds are oh-so comfortable. Complete with down comforters and air conditioning, sleep in the lap of luxury, waking up each morning feeling totally refreshed.
One bedroom is located on the main floor. Two additional bedrooms are on the second floor. Here's where Tequila Sunrise gets interesting! On the second floor there is an eastern bedroom and a western bedroom, separated by a long walk-way, which overlooks the living/dining/pool areas below. The views out to sea from the walk-way are magnificent. The two second floor bathrooms are slightly larger than the first floor bathroom. The Italian tile (in all bathrooms) is nicely offset by pebbled flooring that surrounds the large soak tub.
The outdoor rain shower, with windows looking out to St. Martin and over to the salt pond (in the Western bathroom) washes away the stresses and tensions of "regular life." Tequila Sunrise is exceptionally well designed and laid out. The use of space is smart, without a wasted view. The modern feel and use of whites is nicely offset by unique pieces, such as the large, antique door. How do we make a stay at Tequila Sunrise extra relaxing?
A pool-side massage is always a good idea. Tequila Sunrise Villa's location is so serene, you easily slip back into a state of sleepiness while Body & Soul's incredible masseuses work their magic. The space, amenities, location and service is all five-star. Tequila Sunrise Villa offers one of the best value luxury experiences. Tequila Sunrise Villa truly has the recipe for relaxation!
