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.

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.

Great Quiet Location
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.

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!

Week away with family
This property is absolutely gorgeous. It is exactly as described in the listing. We have stayed several places in antigua before and this was our absolute favorite. It’s unfortunate though that I didn’t realize Christiane was the owner of this beautiful property. We had a nice long chat the day we were leaving, and I wish we had chatted sooner. Since Christiane has lived in Antigua so long, consider her a great reference and guide to the island. She’s a lovely hostess! She has bread, eggs, butter and water all ready for us when we arrived. She linked us up with the car rental man, JahT, and that was a seamless process as well. She is available if you need her but otherwise you are free to just enjoy her beautiful property. The access to the water is amazing. We saw giant tortoises and sting rays and many other fish right in the bay. I will definitely be renting her gorgeous property again. Thank you so much Christiane!

Hey so you know how sometimes you have the most amazing stay at a property so you decide to go back in a couple of years and it just isn't quite the same the second time? That absolutely was not the case at Villa H. We had an even more amazing stay this time!! This villa is was just as we remembered. Clean, beautiful, welcoming and just outstanding! We were so happy to meet Christiane. An amazing host and it is very evident that she takes great pride in making sure your stay is relaxing and hassle free. Kendra did a superb job of keeping the place clean and tidy during our stay and as always, Glenny was there before and after our stay to prepare the villa for the next guests. So kind and welcoming! Honestly if you're thinking about booking, just do it. You will not be disappointed! We cannot wait to return for a third time! Thanks to you all!!

Gorgeous Villa with Incredible Views
Our stay here was incredible. Christiane was great to work with. The villa, grounds and views were all amazing. The pictures are all very accurate. We would not hesitate to book this property again! We spent a lot of time exploring the island which is incredibly beautiful. We ate at Indian Summer, Cloggy's, Shirley Heights, Catherines Cafe and Colibri. We would go back to all of them, but listed them in the order of our preference. Shirley Heights on Sunday was so fun. We got there at 5:15 which was perfect. The band was amazing. I would recommend buying your food tickets right away even though you may eat later. The food tickets are sold in the same line as drinks and that line gets really long as time passes. You will need reservations at all except Shirley Heights. Antigua has some incredible beaches. We explored many of them. We did an amazing hike that took our breath away. The hike was Jones Valley Trail to Carpenter Trail (total distance 4km). We booked a 3 1/2 hour snorkeling excursion with Sea Cat Discoveries. We snorkeled Cades Reef and would definitely recommend their company. The snorkel tour also included lunch. We also did another snorkel excursion with another company from Long Bay Beach. We booked that at the first booth. They took us to Green Island. That was excellent too. Even though many places may only be short distances in terms of miles, plan for longer. Again, Christiane was so wonderful! We already miss being in Antigua showered with her warm hospitality.

Ideal house for 1 or 2 couples
The villa is an outstanding property in terms of location, the beautiful architecture, and the stunning views of the multi-colored ocean below. The open floor plan is extensive with two master suites and a lovely outdoor dining area adjacent to the pool. Easily sharable with family or another couple. Photos on VRBO are accurate but cannot adequately convey the scale or pleasing aspects of the villa. One of the hallmarks of a good rental is communication with the owner, and Christiane is exemplary in her rapid response and provision of helpful information. It was such a pleasure to become acquainted with her as we settled into the house and the area. When small problems arose, she was very quick to intervene. Lovely Long Bay is a two minute drive away, and other beaches on the island are reachable with a little driving. At the end of each excursion it was always so nice to return to the comforts of the villa and watch the colors change as the day ends. Access to the bay below the house is convenient via the stairs and sunning platform. Steps into the ocean provide opportunites to snorkel in the sheltered bay and spot lobsters in shallow water. This is a one-of-a-kind house, one of the best we have found via VRBO and so enjoyable for our two week stay.
