A Family Holiday in Carriacou Unlike Anything Else
Finding the right villa for a family holiday is never easy. You need space, safety, things for children to do, and somewhere that works as well for the adults as it does for the kids. Las Tortugas Villa in Carriacou, Grenadines, ticks every box.
Three bedrooms sleeping up to 6, a private infinity pool with a latching safety gate, a games room stocked with toys and board games, direct access to a mile-long beach and Godfrey on hand every day to help arrange excursions, fishing trips and whatever else the family needs. Carriacou does the rest.
Space for the Whole Family
Las Tortugas Villa is spread across three levels, giving families the space to spread out comfortably. The two air-conditioned master bedrooms each have a queen-size bed, ceiling fan, mosquito net and private ensuite bathroom. Above the main living area, the mezzanine loft is decorated primarily as a children’s bedroom, with a double bed and wardrobe, a space children love for its character and sense of adventure. Whilst the Villa has a lovely view it also comes with a quite a steep drop behind the balustrade where there is a small gap that may be possible squeezed through by small children. Even though this has never happened, we also ways recommend supervision for precautionary meausures.
The open-plan living and dining area seats six, opens directly onto the covered veranda and has easy access to the fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed for self-catering, including a counter top stove, gas oven, microwave, food processor, blender and coffee maker.
The Pool and the Garden
The private infinity pool sits on the sundeck terrace with panoramic views over Paradise Beach and the Southern Grenadines. The pool deck is fully enclosed and fitted with a latching safety gate, so younger children can play safely while adults relax on the sun loungers. You will also find our elusive pet tortoises which frequent the car park level and can be fed (preferably bananas).
The hillside garden surrounding the villa is a genuine adventure playground for children who enjoy climbing, exploring the terraced grounds, searching for hermit crabs and grasshoppers, and the inevitable encounters with the local goat population, who have a habit of testing the garden gates. Children find Carriacou’s wildlife endlessly entertaining.
The Games Room
On the lower level of the villa, a large recreation room provides a dedicated space for children and teenagers. Equipped with a billiard table, Smart TV with access to WiFi for your favourite shows on Netflix, Hulu etc, a selection of books, movies, toys and board games, and long comfortable couches that can double as beds for additional guests, it is the perfect rainy afternoon retreat. The recreation room has its own bathroom and opens directly onto the pathway leading down to Paradise Beach.
Paradise Beach and ConchCasa
A short walk down the paved path from the villa brings you to Paradise Beach, a mile-long stretch of white sand with calm, clear water ideal for swimming and paddling. Three beach bars along the beach serve cold drinks and casual meals, and Curtis at Off the Hook can arrange boat trips across the bay to Sandy Island.
At the far end of the beach, Las Tortugas Villa guests have exclusive use of ConchCasa, the villa’s own private boathouse. Three minutes on foot from the house, it sits twenty feet from the sea with excellent swimming and snorkelling directly in front. Inside you will find a cold beer fridge, beach loungers, a hammock, and chairs. A rowboat and sailing dinghy are kept on site for guests to enjoy on the water. Being at the quieter end of the beach it sees very few other visitors, giving families a naturally secluded spot to base themselves for the day without going anywhere at all.
Sandy Island, just across the bay, is one of the most popular destinations for families visiting Carriacou. A short boat trip from Paradise Beach, it is a wonderful spot for children to swim and snorkel in calm, clear water. Godfrey can help arrange the boat trip and pack a cooler for the day if requested.
Saline Island to the south is well worth a visit by boat and can be combined with Frigate and Large Island for a full day out on the water. Sea turtles are regularly sighted feeding in the seagrass around Saline’s shallow lagoon.
For families who enjoy diving or snorkelling, Carriacou offers some of the finest underwater experiences in the eastern Caribbean. Dive Carriacou is a five minute drive from the villa and Deefer Diving is in Hillsborough, approximately 15 minutes away. Both operators arrange snorkelling trips and diving for all experience levels including beginners.
Godfrey and Leslieann, Your Family in Carriacou
Godfrey and Leslieann look after every stay at Las Tortugas. Godfrey will meet the family on arrival, help collect the complimentary 4WD and settle everyone in. He will look after the villa throughout the stay helping with making beds, laundering linen and towels, cleaning and washing up so parents can focus on the holiday.
Godfrey can arrange fishing trips with local fishermen from Paradise Beach, boat excursions to Sandy Island and White Island, and can source fresh fish and lobster in season, which he will fillet and prepare at the villa. Leslieann will welcome the family on arrival with a fresh pelau, a traditional local dish of chicken and rice.

Windward on the east coast is the home of Carriacou’s traditional boat-building industry, where wooden sailing vessels are still built and launched by hand and is a remarkable sight for children and adults alike.
