Villa Navillus Sur, Las Quintas #3, lies atop Punta Melones with 300 degree views of the big island of Puerto Rico, Luis Pena, Vieques, St Thomas and, on a clear day, St Croix, more than 55 miles distant.
The property, meticulously landscaped, with more than 25 varieties of palms from all over the world, boasts a spectacular open plan vaulted ceiling great room with wrap around porch, double oven kitchen, guitar cabinet and space to dance. This place is a musician’s paradise. Step outside to the astro-turfed yoga deck and self watering herb and vegetable garden and you can watch the spectacular sunsets that only Culebra knows. Walk to the east and lie on the star deck, a teak and futon platform and watch the planets and moon rise, amidst the clearly visible milky way - sleep there during meteor showers and wake to sunrise over Ensenada Harbor.
There are 4 bedrooms: a master suite by the pool, with jacuzzi, skylight shower and panoramic views - the sun rises to the left of the bed and sets to the right; a full en suite bedroom below the master suite with private deck; two side by side en suite bedrooms overlooking the gardens and Luis Pena nature preserve, are down one flight of stairs for maximum privacy - the kids can go to sleep while the music plays above.
