Winter is in full, snowy effect across most of the U.S., which means it’s time to flee the country…and head to the Caribbean.
On Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos, there is a palatial, seven-acre compound that is the perfect retreat. With two separate villas on the property, there’s plenty of space for your friends and family to soak up the sun during the holiday season.
This property is associated with The Sanctuary, fashion designer Donna Karan’s private estate.
The inside of the house was designed by Cheong Yew Kuan, who used teak furniture for much of the decor.
Each villa has four bedrooms, with the master bedroom located on the second floor overlooking the property.
Ahh, the very picture of paradise.
An entire wall of this living room is retractable, allowing you to go from indoor to outdoor with just the click of a button.
This outdoor pavilion is the perfect spot for a scenic dinner party.
With a wooden ceiling, floors, and furniture, this candle-lit sanctuary is full of rustic charm.
The villa has an infinity pool, of course, but it’s also just steps from the beach and bright blue sea.
The house is the utmost in luxury, but with wooden decor and wide windows, it also fits in seamlessly with the real star of the property: the lush nature just steps away.
While it would be impossible not to relax in this setting, the villa also features a yoga studio to help guests get their zen on.
Designer Cheong Yew Kuan gave the house a global flavor, with works of art from around the world decorating the home’s walls.
There’s nothing more romantic than a relaxing, candle-lit evening on an island in the Caribbean.
…or more relaxing than a bath at sunset in this giant tub.
The property is a nature-lovers paradise, surrounded by lush vegetation and the ocean.
While this villa is the perfect spot for a winter respite, we can’t gaurantee our return to the real world when the spring thaw sets in…there’s just no reason to leave paradise.
