About this property

Luxury Villa (Private sea access, pool, spacious, modern) - Dian Bay

Property certified by Health and Tourism Department for rental during the pandemic.

Please note that during Christmas/New Year and Easter we require minimum 7 night stay.

Please note that Antigua has recently imposed a nightly guest charge of US$5 per person per night, except for children under 6 years old. This must be paid cash upon arrival.

Villa H is located on the unspoiled east coast of the island of Antigua, one of the most exclusive destinations in the Caribbean. Standing atop a slightly elevated headland on the edge of (and with private access to) a tranquil coral reef-protected turquoise bay, the Villa has a commanding panoramic view of the Indian Town National Park promontory, a protected area of exceptional natural beauty, and the infinite horizon of the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

Villa H is a spacious and stunning contemporary 2 bedroom property with a fresh, chic and modern look. With large open and light-filled spaces, high ceilings, floor to ceiling glass windows and doors, the Villa cleverly embraces the beauty of its unique outdoor environment while providing total comfort.

Villa H offers a 10-seating outdoor dining verandah which includes a two-meter custom-made barbecue and direct access to a sunken al fresco daybed-lounge. The Villa also offers an 8-seating indoor dining area which is conveniently located near the kitchen and serves as a link between the principal wings of the Villa.

Villa H's spectacular gourmet kitchen is a key feature of the Villa, with clean lines, smooth surfaces and simplistic quality which create a truly modern feel in its design. The kitchen boasts a gorgeous concrete-poured countertop and state-of-the-art appliances. With large glass windows covering the two external walls, it fully embraces the sunlight and garden views.

The tranquil turquoise bay at the foot of the Villa is accessed through a private path which winds its way from the Villa to two large private sea platforms. The lower platform hosts a generous shaded outdoor lounge and leads into the sea, while the upper platform is a sundeck with sun loungers.

Villa H comes staffed with a villa manager, maid and gardener. Additional services may also be arranged upon request (such as a chef and house provisioning).

One of the best beaches in Antigua, Long Bay beach, and three beach restaurants are only a short walk or a 2 minute drive away. The village of Willikies (for local provisioning) is a 5 minute drive away, while the airport and the capital, St. John's, are a 25 minute drive away.

Thank You, Christiane – A Stay We'll Never Forget

It’s almost impossible to put into words how incredible our stay was at Christiane’s stunning villa. No matter what I write, it won’t do justice to the house, the views, or to Christiane herself.If you’re debating whether to book this place—don’t. Just do it. You won’t regret it.Waking up with the reef and bay right at your feet, and spending golden hours in the sun-drenched living room with loved ones, are memories I’ll hold onto for years. It’s the kind of place that stays with you.From the moment we arrived, Christiane made us feel completely at home. She arranged for cleaning every other day, gave us top-notch restaurant recommendations, and shared insider tips that led us to hidden beaches and unforgettable local spots. Without her guidance, we wouldn’t have discovered so many of the things that made our trip truly special.Honestly, I could write a whole separate review just about Christiane—she was that incredible. Thoughtful, responsive, and full of great advice, she gave us everything we needed to fully relax and enjoy ourselves.All I can say is: book this villa. Take care of it. It’s one of a kind, and easily a 12 out of 10 across the board.

Wonderful

I cannot say enough about Christiane and her beautiful house. We were able to snorkel every day, right from the house. We walked to the beach every morning for a swim. Christiane looked after us so well. She gave suggestions for restaurants and day trips. We have stayed in many villas over the years and this one beats them all.

Relaxation in modern comfort

Stunning sea views below blue skies from Villa H were much enjoyed by us for a whole three weeks. The modern concrete surfaces, well equipped large kitchen and many comfortable seating areas made for a relaxing stay. With its carefully chosen art, ornaments and books, Villa H feels more like a home from home than a holiday villa.Access to the sea from the villa’s jetty can be treacherous for the young and the old with high waves and strong currents but there is a calm, quiet beach at a walking distance plus a public beach at Long Bay. The Trade Winds can be strong on this side of the island, although pleasantly warm.

Amazing place to relax and unwind!

Our stay here was incredible! The property was tucked away in a very quiet and beautiful part of the island with a perfect little beach just a short walk down the road. The house itself is a work of art and very much exceeded expectations. We spent hours swimming and snorkeling right off the back of the house, paddle boarding around the bay, and taking in the most amazing views and sounds of the ocean. Christiane was the most gracious host that was there for anything we needed. She is so knowledgable about the island and helped us navigate so we could get the most out of our vacation. I can't wait to go back as it was truly a very special place to stay.

Great Villa, Views and Snorkeling

The Villa was great, views of the bay and ocean amazing. Always a strong o ran breeze to keep the temperature down while outside on the numerous decks. Snorkeling in the bay outside the Villa was terrific and we spent hours everyday in the water. The only thing missing in the house is a microwave (popcorn lovers that we are). The recommended chef to cook meals in the Villa was disappointing. Expensive and not that creative. Better meals at the local restaurants such as Mama Pasta for pizza and fish burgers (both excellent with great views of Long Bay Beach) and Reggae Village for fried fish and jerk chicken.

A Dream Vacation

This was by far the best vacation we have taken over the last 15 years of using VRBO. Christiane is the best host we have ever encountered. She was easy to communicate with, answered any questions, and just the sweetest to check on us throughout. The residence is impeccable, modern design, with everything needed. The plunge pool and ease to access the ocean, a snorkeling paradise from beginners to experts. She also has the best staff. From Charles greeting us at the airport and providing taxi service throughout our stay when needed - his smile and friendliness is contagious! To Kristin our chef who took time before our arrival to learn what type of meals, likes, dislikes, allergens, she provided Michelin class meals, taking our senses and tastes to new levels, highlighting locally sourced foods, fruits, and vegetables. To Glenny who came multiple times during our stay for housecleaning and laundry services - all three were 5 Star, going far and above to ensure our vacation was a perfect as it could be. I wish I cloud say more, but the pictures provide a true representation of your view - breathtaking! You need to come experience this amazing property, the perfect host and her team, and this beautiful island.

INCREDIBLE

Words can’t describe how amazing Christiane and her home are! We had such an unbelievable long weekend escape and are already planning our next trip back! Christiane and all of the staff are incredible, very responsive and very helpful. I 100% suggest that you do at least one dinner with her chef, Kristina. Not only is she an incredible cook but she’s also just a wonderful human being and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her each evening. You definitely don’t want to skip on staying in this beautiful home with these beautiful people. Counting down the seconds till we get back!

Paradise in Antigua

The home is exactly as presented in the photos and descriptions. We spent three days there and the home is beautiful. Christiane also helped us with transportation arrangements and also a chef that came into the home and prepared two wonderful dinners for my family. As others have said, it is away from the main tourist areas, so be prepared to rent a car or get a taxi to go places, but this is no problem to take care of. It is a very relaxing location and everything worked well while we were there. I would definitely stay here again.

Absorbing Sea and Sun

As we entered the villa for the first time, we had great difficulty turning our Midwestern eyes away from the magnificent view through the floor-to-ceiling, ocean-facing windows long enough to chat with Christiane, the owner, who was there to greet us! The villa is perched on a cliff about 40 feet above the shimmering crystal, turquoise waters of the bay with 3 platform levels from which to take in the beauty of the Caribbean creation. We had come hoping for just a warm, restful place to soak in sunshine before returning to our busy season back home - and that was exactly what we did. There was no need to go anywhere else. We simply stayed there trying to absorb as much as possible the soothing sounds of the sea and the warmth of the sun. Floating in the personal, infinity pool a short way down the cliff with the Caribbean on the horizon provided the illusion of bobbing in the sea but within the safety of the overflowing containment. The creative use of concrete in the construction of the interiors of the villa is unique and merits attention and admiration as well. Christiane was an intriguing and excellent hostess who helped to personalize our visit to Antigua and to her villa. You will love her and your stay at Villa Hansen.

House, host and view makes this a fantastic choice.

My wife and I chose this house for our first visit to Antigua. We were not disappointed. As most reviewers have noted, this house is away from any area for nightlife but that wasn't an issue for us. We rented a car for the week and could drive +/- 30 minutes to anywhere on the island. Just be careful the island roads are narrow and have lots of potholes. We used Google Maps and got everywhere we wanted but it will take you on some "goat path" roads. We chose to turn around on one road it took us on the rest we made it through. Go and enjoy this home. You will enjoy yourself.

Christiane, our host was very easy to work with. She was engaging before and during our stay. The property is a great place for a quiet time away. It is off the 'beaten path', which was exactly what we were looking for in a rental. English Harbor has all the activity needed to meet our needs. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home, very remote

My husband and I stayed as a part of our honeymoon trip. We wanted some quiet for a few days away from the busier resort towns, which this home very much accomplished for us. There are actually two resorts nearby, one of which allowed us to get a dinner pass for $75 USD for some ok food, if you can get passed security to the concierge desk. Other than that, you pretty much have to drive 30 minutes to anything else. We struggled with this a little. Since we weren't staying very long, we didn't buy a ton of supplies, and ended up without toilet paper, bug spray, and coffee and some other essentials at the home. Rent a car, go to the store on your way out there, and get plenty of cash (there are no ATMs nearby and the one in English Harbor was broken during our stay) before driving out to this home. Christiane was very responsive and kind, however, her home manager was difficult for us to communicate with since we don't speak Spanish. We didn't go out in the ocean as there are no water sports equipment at this home, however, there are a ton of kitchen utensils and tools, so you could make pretty much anything. Ask Christiane about a private chef, it is 100% worth it. The house is very beautiful and the pool is great for a couple of adults who want to relax for the weekend.

Stunning home

An island treasure: architecturally unique, very well-appointed, wonderfully laid-out open-air home with sweeping floor-to-ceiling views and amazing tropical breezes. Tons of privacy and multiple outdoor decks to take in the sun, sky and sea. Great plunge pool, plus super-easy access to the water for swimming and snorkeling. Bonus points for the awesome concrete floors, outdoor showers and cactuses. Not an area for nightlife, which was 1000% fine with us. An utter gem.

Quiet and Gorgeous

Christiane is an attentive host. The villa is absolutely beautiful, with big windows and beautiful views, comfortable lounge areas indoors and out, and easy access to the sea for swimming and snorkelling. Located in a quiet area, with a short walk to Long Bay Beach, this villa requires a rental car, but the drive is worth it. Shop for groceries in St John’s first because the nearest convenience store has a modest selection. Suggest packing bug spray for the mosquitos if sitting out in the evening. 10/10 would stay again and recommend to friends.

Amazing House - Great Snorkeling

A wonderful house that was so hard to leave. Beautiful views. Quiet area. We were two couples and the house worked perfectly for us. Two roomy bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen where we prepared meals most nights. While we toured Antigua, we were anxious to get back to the house where we found the shore snorkeling better than any place else. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Really lovely property with beautiful waterfront

We had a wonderful 6 night stay. We love snorkeling and most days we had good visibility swimming from the steps. It can be a little tricky getting in so I wouldn’t recommend for the elderly, but we had so much fun. There are plenty of Pelicans to see and lobsters under rocks. Also pencil fishes and others. The house itself is gorgeous too. I’d recommend taking some basic provisions like stock cubes and herbs, but there was cooking oil and a few starter items. We shopped at the epicurean supermarket. Not a place for people who want nightlife as a bit secluded, although Long Bay is very near and Mama Pasta is ok for lunch. Christiane is a gem. Hoping to stay again soon. Such good memories!
