Cerulean Villa opened in 1997 to rave reviews from such magazines as Vogue, Travel and Leisure and Playboy, and it quickly became one of the most popular villas in the Caribbean. Situated directly on the beach at Barnes Bay, Cerulean offers its guests all the amenities of a five star resort within the intimacy of a beautiful private home. This stunning seven bedroom estate was designed by world renowned architect Deborah Berke, and the extensive landscaped grounds include a free form pool overlooking the sea, a Jacuzzi, gym, and tennis court. With a full staff of fourteen to take care of your every need all you have to do is sit back and enjoy.

Cerulean was built to take advantage of its stunning location on Barnes Bay, and the villa is extremely open and airy: with high ceilings, fans throughout, and French doors that open to the sea. The floors are all imported limestone tile, and most of the furniture was made specifically for the house by craftsmen in both Mexico and Morocco. The beauty of the house can be attested to, by the fact that it has been photographed by both House and Garden and Italian Architectural Digest.

All of the seven bedrooms are large (an average of 515 square feet) and overlook the sea. Each room has it’s own private entrance as well as a terrace with a comfortable seating arrangement. Two of the bedrooms have domed ceilings, and they are all air-conditioned with walk in closets. There is a phone in each, as well as a data link for a computer, and cable access for mobile televisions.

All of the bedrooms have en-suite European style bathrooms that are large and luxurious with imported marble, deck tubs, and glass enclosed showers. Two of the bathrooms also have private outdoor shower gardens.

In addition to the seven bedrooms the 13,000 square feet of living space includes: two living rooms separated by a bar, one indoors with a spectacular vaulted ceiling and mosaics imported from Morocco, the other on a covered terrace with views of the pool and sea below, a dining room that seats 16, a television room that can also convert into an eighth bedroom with it’s own private bath, a powder room, and a gourmet kitchen.

The house is equipped with cable TVs (60+channels), DVDs, VCRs, stereo system, and a library of books, movies, CDs and games. We have a computer with high speed internet access for guest use, as well as a fax machine. We can provide secretarial services if needed.

Set within the landscaped exterior is a tennis court with covered viewing pavilion and bar. Adjacent to the tennis court is a fitness center with a treadmill, cross training machine, free weights, Cybex multi station equipment and a television. Cerulean can also provide a personal trainer for guest's enjoyment, as well as a yoga instructor, tennis coach or water aerobic teacher.

The 40x25 foot freshwater pool overlooks the sea and is suitable for swimming laps as well as just floating. There is a shallow edge that runs around the perimeter of the pool, which provides an ideal play space for children. Surrounding the pool is a 3,000 square foot stone deck with plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas and tables for dining al fresco.

On a deck above pool level is a Jaccuzzi situated in the perfect spot to relax with a cocktail and watch the sunset over the sea. Just below the pool level is beautiful Barnes Bay with a wide sandy beach for sunbathing, walking or collecting shells. Right off shore is a coral reef for easy snorkeling, and for the more adventurous there are sea kayaks available at Cerulean.

Cerulean has extensive tropical gardens including a marble meditation court with a waterfall. Our full time gardener ensures that the grounds always look their best and that fresh flowers are available in the rooms at all times.
