Description of 100 Pond Bay
As of January 3, 2015, 100 Pond Bay will not be available - as it is under a long term rental agreement.
100 Pond Bay's stunning pavilions are linked together like a string of pearls on a bluff overlooking Pond Bay and Savanna Bay Beaches and beyond, a spectacular wide-angle panorama of blue sparkling seas punctuated by the green island of Tortola and the many islets and cays of the British Virgin Islands.
At one end of the property is the grand king Master Suite in Pavilion #1, which boasts a completely private covered terrace overlooking the sea and its own non-chlorine cocktail pool. Fully air-conditioned, this luxurious master suite is the largest bedroom/bath suite at 100 Pond Bay. It includes an Audio Sound system, 36-inch flat-screen HDTV with Blu-Ray DVD player, Wi-Fi, telescope, a safe for valuables, spacious stone indoor and outdoor showers, bathrobes, Egyptian cotton towels, luxury linens, hair dryer, complimentary Molton Brown bath products, washer, dryer, and a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with a Sub-Zero fridge, 6-burner gas range, microwave/convection oven, and a dishwasher. This secluded romantic pavilion may be rented for just two for an enchanting and extravagant five-star lovers' getaway. Situated below the Master Suite is the air-conditioned home gym containing a treadmill, Indoor Cycle, a universal weight machine and yoga mats.
Adjoining the Master Suite Pavilion are four equal-sized bedroom/bath pavilion suites in a row, each with air-conditioning and a fabulously comfortable king-sized bed dressed in luxury linens. Each of these four superior pavilion suites feature a 19-inch flat-screen HDTV with Dish Network, DVD player, Audio sound system, Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge, coffeemaker, wet bar, villa bathrobes, Egyptian cotton towels, a hair dryer, complimentary Molton Brown bath products, and a safe for valuables. All five of these bedroom suites are creatively designed for complete privacy from neighboring Pavilions. Each Pavilion suite has its own private entrance and parking, a sitting area, and a private covered patio for two overlooking landscaped gardens and the grand expanse of sun-spangled views of Pond and Savanna Bays as well as the Atlantic's blue, turquoise and purple ocean laced with white surf.
At the other end of this property is the Main Pavilion which houses dining and sitting areas and the gourmet kitchen. The striking kitchen is beautifully equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Viking Range, a dishwasher, an ice machine, and two mini-wine fridges and a wet bar. A wine price list is provided so you can decide what vintages you'll select and consume. The Main Pavilion also offers a 42-inch flat-screen HDTV with Dish Network, Blu-Ray DVD player, Xbox & DVD movies, a Beats Pill XL sound system, a gas BBQ Grill, and a dramatic gallery off to the side, kissed by cooling island sea breezes, for dining or lounging with a view. The Main Pavilion is meant to be enjoyed open with the tropical breeze and thus does not have A/C. Two fabulous non-chlorine pools with infinity edges, which melt into sublime sea views, front the Main Pavilion's pool grotto. The smaller pool has a soothing waterfall feature which cascades into the larger pool.
100 Pond Bay is an architectural dream, perfectly framing the always-spellbinding drama of light, sea and sky of the British Virgin Islands. Every one of its pavilions looks out to stunning Caribbean Sea vistas. Interiors are a tawny palette of tans and creams enriched by custom-made andiroba wood doors and windows; furnishings are clean and uncluttered. Its straightforward design of sleek contemporary lines clad in cool quartzite stone appears fundamental, but the overall impact of 100 Pond Bay celebrates the owners' detailed vision of a spectacular modern home encompassing a serene and organic balance - its polished tropical perfection, where the interiors flow gracefully into nature's lovely tableau just beyond its doors.
Just below this imposing private home are Pond Bay and Savanna Bay Beaches, two of Virgin Gorda's most spectacular strands of silvery white sands meeting gin-clear water. Guests at 100 Pond Bay may use the deeded walking path to access Pond Bay Beach, or may simply drive down to Savanna Bay Beach in less than a minute. Guests also have the use of the villa's two ocean kayaks and two stand-up paddle boards (SUPs) with a liability waiver signed in advance of arrival. Virgin Gorda's holiday pleasures also include snorkeling, day sails, fishing, parasailing, SCUBA diving - or just relaxing and tanning with a book and cocktail poolside with family and friends.
100 Pond Bay's commanding locale, easy access to superb beaches, and the beautifully-executed custom features in this villa promise luxurious, tranquil relaxation and beauty for the discerning traveler. 100 Pond Bay is a grand oasis of The Good Life, and well deserves its five golden stars!

As of winter 2014, a new home with pavilions is being completed just below 100 Pond Bay. Interior finish work continues inside this home, and the landscaping and pouring the driveway is to be done soon. Some construction noise may be heard up at 100 Pond Bay from time to time, especially if you are outside on the terraces (however, we did find while at this villa that the wind and the sound of the surf on Pond Bay below muffles some of the noise). Construction activity below can vary from day to day. But if you would like further details on the current status of this activity, please inquire, and we'll be happy to obtain the latest progress report for you.
100 Pond Bay’s staff office and quarters are located below the Main Pavilion. The villa manager is frequently available on site in the office, and some night in the staff quarters; however the manager can be reached at any time via the complimentary villa cell phone provided to guests. Your privacy at 100 Pond Bay is, of course, completely assured.
