Santosha Villa Estate: At A Glance

santosha villa estate

Santosha.

The name conjures up day dreams of exotic travels to the most far flung locales.

A Hindu term, the name means the discovery of inner "contentment."

Santosha, the Villa Estate in Anguilla, is the embodiment of that precise feeling.

The property is Anguilla's most sophisticated ultra-luxury villa.

A 37,000 square foot West Indian-style estate, Santosha is of a bygone era.

Its design is classic Caribbean, immaculately executed.

A marked sense of relaxed sophistication washes over you as you walk through the nine bedroom property.

From regal crown moldings, to mahogany four poster beds, to antique sconces, louvre doors and double-paned windows, to the grand spiral staircase and wrap around verandas, each and every piece has been carefully designed.

You will not, for example, find two mirrors, armoires or sink-tubs that are alike at Santosha.

Each ornamental touch has been hand-selected for its specific place.

The estate's address? Long Bay, the beach's ultra-private eastern side. Surrounded by tropical gardens, Santosha's exclusive location is her perfect complement.

Sprawling across 4.5 lush acres and able to accommodate 23 guests, Santosha Villa Estate is Anguilla's most grand ultra-luxury villa.

Santosha Villa Estate is Anguilla's most sophisticated ultra-luxury villa.

The estate's Grand Villa, three Guest Houses and dining pavilion all exude distinct West Indian elegance. Nine bedrooms spread out over five buildings set on 4.5 lush, tropical beachfront acres. The property's ultra-private location is its perfect complement.

Nestled among tropical gardens, Santosha Villa Estate opens directly onto pristine, sandy beach. The eastern half of Long Bay, it is one of Anguilla's most private strips of sand. Rocky outcroppings separate this corner of Long Bay from the rest of the beach. Here, you find total privacy, seclusion, and true to the estate's Hindu name, contentment.
