Your vacation begins with a scenic drive through the spectacular Blue Mountains or along the eastern coast of the island. Shoreham Green Villa is situated in the prestigious San San Estates. As you approach the villa , you sense a strong feeling of peacefulness and tranquility, winding up the narrow road with sun rays bursting through the jungle canopy that envelopes the road. As the gates to your private paradise swing open, you are greeted by awaiting staff members, eager to fulfill your every wish.
Stepping into the Villa, you walk through the large living room, through the entire wall of sliding glass doors onto the terrace to embrace a spectacular unobstructed view of paradise. You have arrived. As you slip into your private pool, the warm Caribbean sun drenches you in warmth and delight. Your daiquiris are served pool side as you relax in the afternoon sun. As the sun begins to set into the evening sky over the Blue mountains, your personal cook is putting the finishing touches on your evening meal.
A bottle of wine or a cocktail served on the terrace after a refreshing shower allows time to relax and reminisce about the wonders of this place. After a three course gourmet dinner, coffee is served on the patio with soft reggae and calypso music. As you retire into your own private accommodations, with fresh orchids and hibiscus placed on your pillow, you are allowed to drift into a dream land as the cool night air flows down from the mountains and washes itself over sleeping eyes. As you drift away, from paradise to slumberland, you realize that you have just arrived, the best is yet to come.
