Silversands Villas Grenada

Silversands Villas in Grenada are made for soaking up the sunshine

The mountainous island of Grenada captures many travelers’ hearts with its soft, sandy beaches, lush rain forest, incredible wildlife and gorgeous beaches. The ‘Spice Island,’ nicknamed for its nutmeg and spice crops, is home to the lovely boutique hotel, Silversands Grenada. Found on the island’s most famous beach, Grande Anse, the hotel has unveiled a collection of just eight private homes. Choose from either a three-bedroom Seaview Villa or a four-bedroom Beachfront Villa, each with abundant living and dining spaces, arrival courtyard, private pools (the Beachfront Villa’s master bedroom has its own plunge pool), and direct beach access. Designed by the award-winning architecture firmAW2, each villa is built to soak up the jaw-dropping surroundings with floor-to-ceiling windows. Owners of the villas can also receive Grenadian Citizenship by participating in the Citizenship by Investment Program. A portion of sales from this development is also given back to the community, as Silversands is in partnership with theWest Indies School of Hospitality Foundation. The program offers 6,000 free hospitality courses to Grenadians every year. SeaviewVilla from$7m; Beachfront Villa from$12.7m.

This outstanding home is situated behind the community’s private gates and was built by one of Lake Tahoe’s premier builders, Mark Neave of NSMConstruction. Spanning 6,724 sq ft with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the interiors naturally pay homage to the surroundings: Think cedar siding and basalt masonry, with walls of glass to let those astonishing views take center stage. Speaking of the views, you can expect far-reaching panoramas of the Carson Valley and nearby mountain ranges. The house also has a three-car garage, hot tub, bar and two powder rooms. While the world-glass golf course, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, is almost at your doorstep, the property has a golf simulator so you can practice in the comfort of your own home. $12.5m.
