Villa Shambhala 5 BR, Long Bay

Shambhala is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘place of peace,’ That is precisely what you find at this gorgeous villa nestled amongst untouched natural beauty and just steps from glittering sands and endless ocean. Designed by renowned architect Rafael Amuchastegui, this beachfront hideaway balances tranquillity and privacy with decadence and connection. Situated at the very edge of Long Bay Beach (voted one of the top ten beaches in the world by Conde Nast), Villa Shambhala sits on over two acres of luscious, tranquil grounds and yet is still only 10 minutes from central Grace Bay. This 5-bedroom main house is 7,300 sq ft of classic Barbadian design. It comprises pockets of privacy, all linked together by gorgeous open-air Tuscan galleries. The heart of the villa is the magnificent great room with gleaming alabaster walls, vintage furniture, and gorgeous arched French doors with plantation shutters, all crowned by a hand-painted cathedral-like ceiling. A formal dining area seats ten around a handsome table that looks across ocean views. A cozy alcove is filled with deeply cushioned loveseats, a TV, and a selection of media to enjoy. A separate kitchen is a chef’s dream, with state-of-the-art appliances, granite countertops, tumbled marble backsplashes, and custom Guatambu hardwood cabinets from Argentina. The property also has a floodlit tennis court, a viewing pavilion, and an outdoor squash court. The Property is available for rental as an 8-bedroom entire estate or separately as a 5-bedroom Beach Front Villa and 3-bedroom Beach View Villa. When sold separately, the property maintains privacy for both parties and private beach space, the only shared amenity being the tennis courts
