Grand Harbour is a collection of luxury waterfront residences, which will be situated near Egmont Point on the south coast of Grenada. The two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses are designed to echo the elegant style of homes in St George’s, the island’s picturesque capital. Idyllic beaches are just a short water shuttle ride away, and every residence will offer breath-taking views of the bay and the mountains of Grand Etang. Residences are due for completion in November 2009.
Price: from £250,000 to £400,000

Caribbean hideaway
A luxurious beach retreat in stunning natural surroundings
These stunning beach villas are located on Anguilla’s exclusive Shoal Bay West. The island is renowned for its white beaches, celebrated visitors and has a super-rich, A-list following. This is an opportunity to own one of nine individual, modern residences at The International Gems of Altamer. Designed by the acclaimed architect Myron Goldfinger, this 18-acre retreat is set on a crescent of beachfront land with views of the Caribbean Sea and is backed by a serene bird sanctuary.
Each villa has a unique layout and interior, featuring state-of-the-art technology alongside objets d’art and contemporary furnishings. Landscaped gardens offer tranquil areas for sunbathing and relaxing and rooftop terraces reveal 360° views of the sea and surrounding islands. Anguilla is an exclusive island with an international reputation where residents enjoy a feeling of seclusion from the outside world. Visitors arrive by private jet or yacht and villa orientation means you will never see your neighbour. With the opening of a premier marina (Yacht Haven Grande Anguilla) the island is one of the Caribbean’s most desirable retreats.
