Overview

Set aside a 5-star golf course and blessed with spectacular ocean views and sunset vistas, The Retreat offers unrivaled island luxury and provides an ideal escape for the discerning Caribbean traveler.

The Retreat was designed to make the most of its idyllic island location, and provide guests with a choice of uniquely furnished spaces to sit and chill, read, chat, or work. Whether you’re planning a vacation with friends, or are looking to book a family escape with your children, The Retreat’s spacious yet intuitive layout enables everyone to take advantage of a relaxed island lifestyle while enjoying the opportunity to retire to a quiet corner for a moment of reflection.

The Retreat’s contemporary design and 21st century technologies ensure complete relaxation. Outdoors, each guest can recline on their own sun lounger, or relax in the pool atop a selection of pool inflatables (with floating cup holders!). The large poolside gazebo offers respite if the heat of the sun becomes a little too much or a sudden tropical shower appears overhead, and its fitted drinks fridge is always on hand to offer a cooling refreshment.

When you’re in the mood for a little R&R, hop from the 30 foot pool into the eight person spa and turn on the jets for a relaxing full body massage; lose yourself in the sound of the cascading waterfall or listen to your own playlists via the pool deck music system.

The Retreat is also equipped with a Mitsubishi air conditioning system, specified by architects for the best hotels & houses worldwide. Not only does it allow each room to be set to an independent temperature, it is barely discernible - both visually and audibly.

To ensure complete privacy and reduce the impact of any noise pollution from elsewhere on the property, each of the three bedroom suites are located at extreme ends of the villa and split over its two levels. Furnished with plush king beds and exceptional quality mattresses, high thread count Frette Percale Egyptian cotton bed linens, and throws for those that need them, each bedroom boasts triple glazed windows providing expansive bedroom views to palm trees, pool, or ocean as well as offering the most effective exterior sound and thermal insulation between inside and out. Your sleep cycle will also benefit from bedside remote controlled shades reversed with a blackout material to maintain a nighttime ambience, even when the Nevis sun has long risen.

For those that prefer an opportunity to connect with nature, the exterior bathroom courtyard and drench shower offer the chance to refresh your aching limbs in the full glory of a sunny Nevis morning. Where else can you shower and see a hummingbird within touching distance?

Whether indulging in a title clinching football or soccer game, the latest TV series finale, or even a sneaky Wi-Fi call with work colleagues from the pool deck (perhaps switch the video off), guests at The Retreat can choose exactly when to reconnect! The Retreat’s internet & media services are the best available on Nevis - better than at any hotel. Each bedroom, the upper living area, and the media room are all equipped with a large HD TV and a choice of content from both Amazon and Netflix, a pre-purchased iTunes library of over 500 blockbuster & kids films for Apple TV, and free-to-access streamed film and TV content (including sport and news) from a global IPTV service.

Each area of the house has high quality speakers connected to a Sonos music system on which guests can listen to music from Spotify and Amazon playlists or log-in and connect their own music library or subscription. This can all be controlled from anywhere on the property via mobile device. The house gym has its own Sonos zone so that you can isolate your choice of music from other guests for the time you are using it.

The gym itself is equipped with a Schwinn spin bike, rowing machine, Everlast punch bag and gloves, and a selection of dumbbells, medicine balls and slam balls. Feel free to take the weights and boxercise kits outside onto the lower verandah and driveway to run your own sunset bootcamp along with a calorie busting playlist blasting from the outdoor speakers.

Directly outside the villa are a range of early morning and evening walking, running, and cycle routes suited to all. Sessions with both a personal trainer and yoga instructor can be arranged to suit your schedule.

The Retreat’s Gaggenhau & Liebherr equipped kitchen comes complete with dual sink and preparation areas, a bar table, regular and steam ovens, a gas cooktop with a wok ring, a fridge-freezer, and separate beverage and wine fridges. We also have an all important Bosch dishwasher, although if you’d prefer not to get involved in the catering private chef dining options are available at your request. The outdoor Viking BBQ Grill is a ‘beast’ and can make light work of catering for a ravenous group.

The large upper veranda dining table and BBQ dining terrace, complete with an umbrella that goes up in seconds to cover all diners in the event of an unpredictable shower, provides guests with two options for group dining.

The wine fridge maintains separate temperatures for multiple bottles of white and red and the beverage fridge holds up to 30 bottles of beer or soft drinks. We also took the ‘cold drinks at all times’ philosophy down to the pool where guests will find a beverage fridge in the gazebo.

A large juicer and smaller multi-use Nutri Bullet provide guests with the chance to make their own fresh fruit smoothies and even use mangoes and bananas growing in the garden if they are lucky enough to be there in peak season, and can beat the monkeys to them! For coffee addicts the Cuisinart and Gaggenhau coffee machines can accommodate your favorite whole beans or the local selection of ground coffee.
