Villa Helianthus
Bequia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

4 Bedrooms / 4 Bathroom

Villa Helianthus is located in the pristine seclusion of Mt.Pleasant, Bequia with the village not far away. Designed by the renowned Italian architect Luigi Vietti of Costa Smeralda fame, its interior was decorated by French and Italian designers in a Caribbean ambience. Helianthus is the Latin term for sunflower.

Nestled luxuriously in 33 acres of mature cedars, fruit trees and pastures, the villa enjoys a unique privacy graced with the delicate sounds of local birds. The wide rerraces besides the swimming pool provide breathtaking views of the moon and stars. Mahogany trees line the long driveway as it winds its way towards a flowery entrance.

Villa Helianthus Estates is one of the residences of the former Prime Minister who pioneered much of the development of the Grenadines . It includes seven acres of orchards and adjoins the coastal forests below and overlooking the ocean toward the other islands. The orchard contains varieties of every fruit that flourishes in Bequia: orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit, mango, guava, bananas, plums, cherries, golden apple, sugar apple, Indian apple, wax apple, tamarind and carombola. Fruit vary in season, and some kind of fresh fruit juice can be blended anytime of the year. The ingredients of salads are produced in the villa's greenhouse including fresh lettuce, arugula (rocket), mint, dill, parsley, rosemary, basil and lemon grass. Fresh mint or bay leaf tea is always available. The estate includes two lily ponds and a cleared path suitable for hiking to the palm fringed Hope Beach on the Atlantic coast.

The new gazebo in the garden overlooking the Helianthus plantation toward the ocean and Mustique provides a wonderful setting for relaxation and reading or to enjoy a moonlight barbeque in the evenings.
