About The Villa

Las Tortugas (The Turtles) is a luxury seafront villa sleeping up to 6 guests across three bedrooms, perched on a breezy hillside above Paradise Beach on the island of Carriacou, Grenadines. Built around one of the most extraordinary views in the Eastern Caribbean, the villa looks out over a mile-long sweep of white sand, a network of coral reefs, and the islands of the Southern Grenadines stretching to the horizon.

Set on almost an acre of private hillside, Las Tortugas offers the kind of seclusion that is genuinely rare in the Caribbean, with easy access to Paradise Beach just a short walk down the hillside path below.

A Villa with Character

Las Tortugas is furnished in Southwestern American style, accented throughout with hand-painted murals, colourful hand-woven textiles and original Caribbean artwork. Terracotta tile floors, whitewashed walls and arched doorways give the property an unhurried, timeless quality. This is a villa with genuine warmth and personality, not a generic holiday rental.

The villa is perfect for couples seeking privacy, families wanting space to spread out, and groups of friends looking for somewhere genuinely special to share.

The Island of Carriacou

Carriacou is the largest of the Grenadine islands and one of the most rewarding to explore. At just 13 square miles, it sits 20 miles north of Grenada at the heart of the Eastern Caribbean’s finest sailing waters, surrounded by uninhabited islands, pristine coral reefs and some of the clearest water in the world.

Here, time moves at its own pace. Early mornings bring the songs of mockingbirds and the sight of hand-built fishing skiffs heading out to sea. During the day, yachts arrive and depart from Sandy Island across the bay, and majestic frigate birds wheel in the updraft above the veranda. In the evenings, the sun sets over the Southern Grenadines in colours that never quite look real. 

Godfrey and the Villa Team

Every stay at Las Tortugas is looked after by Godfrey and Leslieann, the villa’s dedicated housekeeping team, who are in attendance daily. Godfrey has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the island and can arrange excursions, fishing trips, boat charters to Sandy Island or the Tobago Cays, restaurant recommendations and anything else that might make your stay more memorable. Consider him your personal guide to Carriacou.

Exploring Carriacou

A 4WD rental vehicle is included with every stay, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace.

Hillsborough, the island’s charming capital, is home to a fascinating small museum and remains one of the few genuinely authentic old West Indian towns left in the Caribbean. The restaurants along the waterfront are well worth an evening.

Windward on the east coast is the centre of the island’s traditional boat-building industry, one of the last places in the world where you can watch wooden sailing vessels being built and careened in the traditional way.

Tyrrel Bay on the west coast is a favourite anchorage for sailing yachts and home to a handful of excellent waterfront bars and restaurants.

For dining, the Roundhouse and Slipway offer sophisticated waterfront dining, while the Lazy Turtle is the local choice for pizza and the Lambi Queen in Harveyvale is the place for authentic Carriacouian cooking and local culture.

Getting to Carriacou

Carriacou is accessible by ferry from Grenada via Osprey Lines (approximately 120 minutes) or by charter flight via Grenadine Alliance. The villa team is happy to advise on the best travel option for your dates.
