The most Luxurious Villa in St Lucia

Akasha is 'The Villa' where the A list stay. Stunning views and sunsets are present from the moment you step thru the door. This is a state of the art villa.

All bedrooms are en-suite, gourmet kitchen, spacious living area, 4000sqft of terracing, infinity pool, games room, TV in every room in the villa, wireless internet to stay in touch, nine seat cinema. Relax on the entertainment level or by infinity pool, catch a film in the private cinema, listen to music anywhere, sip your champagne while sitting on the bar stool in the pool, play the piano, cook a BBQ and entertain your friends, gaze at the stars from the lookout, or just lie in bed and watch the ships sail by. Please note 2 of the bedrooms are in the apartment which is attached to the villa and entrance is possible both from within the villa and separately. The apartment also has its own kitchen and lounge.

Base rate is for 2 guests (1 bedroom). Additional fees apply for extra bedrooms, based on double occupancy. For single room occupancy please ask for a quote.

Our Team Leader can organize and book your trips, recommend where to snorkel, dive, make restaurant or golf bookings and more. Julietta is a locally renowned cook who can prepare those local dishes. The ultra modern design is set in lush gardens from which Richard, our gardener, produces his organic vegetables for your table.

Akasha sits on a hillside in the exclusive Cap Estate looking over the Caribbean sea with views down to the world heritage site of the Pitons and the national park – Pigeon Island. From this unrivalled location you can watch the sail boats and mega yachts as they head into Rodney Bay marina and in the evening with a glass of wine watch the stunning sunsets.

A contemporary villa designed for Caribbean living, Akasha combines the best of modern living with the relaxed and content lifestyle of the Caribbean. Every room boasts spectacular views, with huge floor to ceiling windows and minimum distractions from the stunning vistas. From the lookout you can see both the Atlantic and the Caribbean.

Enjoy the music and light up the atmosphere: Each bedroom has a flat-panel TV allowing you to choose a movie 'on demand' from Netflix or Apple TV. Control4 is available on Apple iPads panels located on each floor allow you to manage all the music, lighting, entertainment systems, security, fans and security gates. Alternatively you could just enjoy the peace and tranquility offered by this location. At night time choose a scene from the Lutron lighting system – there are blue LED lights to create a tranquil environment.

Featuring a state of the art Lutron lighting system, Sonos and Control4 system means you can relax by the pool with your favorite sounds delivered right from your own smartphone - we suggest you bring it with you, alternatively music from Apple which has thousands of tracks of different genres or internet radio. Listen to the same music in any of the rooms inside the house, the terraces by the pool while enjoying the spectacular view.

Spread your wings in the Great room: The Great Room includes the Lounge, Dining space and the Kitchen. The Lounge is equipped with 50” plasma and surround sound speakers and Meridan front speaker and additional sub-woofer. Natuzzi leather seating helps to add to the experience. If you fold the 10ft high glass doors then you can fully appreciate the views or just walk onto the main terrace where further seating allows you to relax in the gentle breeze which blows across the location.

In the Kitchen you will find a blue Italian – Scavolini kitchen which matches the colour of the Caribbean sea and generates a cool ambiance. This gourmet kitchen is equipped with two ovens, microwave, fridge and freezer, dishwasher. In the island unit there is wine cooler, an additional sink and seating for six. The Laundry room houses a further fridge and freezer for storing those extra items when you entertain your guests. Julietta, our house manager, will undertake any light washing required.

Dining is possible inside or outside on the terracing. You can serve those special dishes either inside on the large glass dining table which has seating for 12, outside on the Dining terrace or in the intimate outdoor Nook area. If cooking outside is your thing then why not try the oversize Viking BBQ located by the swim up pool while your friends enjoy their champagne in the pool.

A 2 bedroom guest apartment is attached to the villa. Access is possible via either from inside the villa and or externally. The apartment has its own kitchen, living area and balcony. The queen size sofa can be set up to take extra guests. Both bedrooms have a queen bed and shower room. These bedrooms have views of the garden. Please note the apartment is on two levels.

Akasha – living your dream: Defined in Sanskrit text as 'Ether', the most subtle of the five elements, and in Homeric Greek as 'pure, fresh air' or 'clear sky', Akasha is a positive substance, filled with unseen energies and intelligence.

Akasha Villa in January
Fred, Julietta and team did a wonderful job with catering to us the entire 9 days. We caught a large Wahoo and Jullietta made delicious fried and grilled fish lunches for us. She also makes wonderful homemade sauces and fresh passion fruit! Surrinder was wonderful in the booking process and provided clear information and suggestions on restaurants, beaches and fishing charters. The property is extremely clean and have some of the best views on the entire island. The view from pool and deck are breathtaking. Highly recommend booking this property!

Outstanding family vacation!
The Akasha was every bit as beautiful in person as it is in the videos. The house staff and cooks went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. The concierge could not have been more helpful, stopping by each morning, returning if needed and always available by phone. The pool and grounds were maintained daily, the gardener even gave me a personal tour discussing each plant/tree as I am decreed in horticulture. The kids made full use of the game room, home theater and, of course, the pool and spa. I can only give the Akasha the highest recommendations.

Words cannot accurately articulate the experience
I have been fortunate to travel all over the world and experience some of the most beautiful places from coast to coast; Akasha is at the top of the list. The island itself is extraordinary and the mountain views combined with the perfect Caribbean beaches are the ideal combination. Surrinder, the owner of the villa, was incredibly accommodating and helpful during the planning stages and his staff, led by Fred, brought everything from concept to fruition. All the recommendations they made were spot on. The people on the island were amazing and the simplicity of everything truly allowed us to relax. The house was designed and built to perfection and brings the levels of luxury and comfort to peak performance. Given the proximity to home; I will be back much sooner than I expected.

Best. Trip. Of. My. Life.
I am speechless. This was by far the best week of my life. Our family was there to celebrate my Mother's 70th birthday. We arrived via helicopter and were greeted by Barbara with a huge smile and the greatest life ever. On the drive up the hill to the property the car was full of gasps and screams of excitement. It sits on a hill overlooking Pigeon Island, the deep blue caribbean ocean and the sunset. We arrived with food and drink already in the kitchen and were blown away by the space and decor on the initial tour. The Villa is spectacular. Julietta and her sister were fantastic, preparing breakfast and lunch for us as well as keeping the place spotless. Fred, the house manager, was as responsive and helpful as possible, not mention just a great guy. Richard does an amazing job with the landscaping and pool maintenance. We opted for a personal chef for 6 of our 7 meals, and Chef Didier and his assistant Junior received applause at every meal. Being a foodie from Chicago, this is high praise, and I strongly recommend his services! Finally Surrinder Chali orchestrated the entire trip with the ease of someone who still has the art of good personal customer service. He is the anchor to the whole villa, and I only wish there were more properties around the world he would manage! The home is gorgeous, the rooms clean, the movie room and game room were well used, and the pool, spa and the view - well there are just not words in the English language to describe it - just a gut, raw emotion of happiness. We did a day of deep sea fishing as well as a day of snorkeling and trip down the coast to the Pitons with Captain Tom, both were fantastic. Thank you, for sharing the villa with us, it truly was a magical week. Between myself and my family members we have travelled all over the world, and stay routinely in 5 star properties or hotels. This was exceptional. I wish I every vacation could be like this one. Bravo.

Absolutely Stunning Property!!!!
This house is a "must see". The view is 180 degrees of both open ocean plus Rodney Bay City. GORGEOUS. Fred and Julietta did an amazing job of taking care of our every need. The owner was so helpful pre arrival with all of our questions. I highly recommend this property.

Simply Stunning!
We stayed for a week in March at Akasha and the entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Throughout the booking process, we were kept updated, and everything we needed was taken care of before we arrived. At Akasha you can do as much or as little as you like, we had some days of activities planned, and spent the rest of the time enjoying the infinity pool and sun terraces. The manager Fred was available to book excursions and transfers for us whenever we needed. Julietta was also on hand to take care of breakfast and lunch, meaning we could relax as much as possible. If you're thinking about booking, DO IT! You won't regret it.

Holiday of a lifetime!
Oh my goodness!!! 5 stars does not say enough to justify this place! Just spent a glorious week in Akasha, soaking up the sunshine, cooling off in the pool and being looked after by, what I can only describe as, the friendliest and most fantastic staff ever, in the most amazing place ever! Our driver took us round the island, picked up anytime from any location and was an absolute blast to hang out with. The team recommended the best spots for local dinners, tours, and events (highly recommend the Friday night local markets!)... Akasha had everything and more that we needed! Beautiful rooms, room service, dine-in chef’s, pianists if we wanted and views to die for. We woke up with fresh coconut juice and were absolutely pampered during our stay. We can’t recommend this place enough, and will be certainly be heading back soon for another holiday. (also highly recommend the helicopter transfer if you fancy a thrill to kick off the holiday!) Thank you Surrinder and Team for a week in paradise!

Rarely are expectations exceeded....Akasha does.
The property was extraordinary for a family trip. The island offered us all the activities we wanted, the combo beauty of the island and the property is truly one of a kind, and the service provided by the owner of the house and his staff was utter perfection. An indelible memory that my family will always have....all aspects of the trip, helicopters, boats, scuba, etc were done with no hassle and unmatched service in my experience. Thank you to all involved that made Akasha an amazing family holiday vacation.

Paradise! From the moment we arrived we were treated like kings and queens! The house is gorgeous and has an incredible view from every area. Perfect for entertaining friends and family. The staff took care of everything our entire stay. Cooking, cleaning and even made fresh juice each morning for us to enjoy. The drivers were always on point no matter what time or where we needed to go. Great people! The walk down to the beach is charming and very nice once your there. We had a wonderful vacation there and look forward to experiencing again!

Absolutely stunning! I did not want to leave.
I did not want to leave. This place is so unreal. My boyfriend booked this amazing villa as a surprise vacation. I felt like we were in the A list world. As we drove into the villa the flowers in the garden were in full bloom and made this place look like a piece of paradise. As the Manager opened the door my jaw hit the floor. We then walked to the balcony and to say the view was something like a movie set would be an understatement. It was stunning. The master suite did not disappoint either. Every time we walked around the Great Room I felt like a celebrity at her private island retreat. We ate some of the local restaurants as recommended by Fred, the Manager, and they were pretty good. Juliette prepared some interesting local dishes and juices (and cocktails) for us, such a lovely lady. For our final night we had a chef prepare and cook a romantic dinner by the pool, super dishes better than a 5 star restaurant. This is clearly my special place forever. When it was time to leave I have to admit I did not want to, we will definitely be back.

Pictures do not do justice
The website cannot fully capture just how amazing this property is. The views are unparalleled. From the top floor, you can see the Caribbean and the Atlantic with a swivel of your head. Sunsets are unbelievable. Every detail is impeccable and overall quality is first-class. Don't miss out on asking Julietta to prepare a true St. Lucian breakfast. The salt fish cakes are to die for!

Vacation in Paradise
What can I say to summarize our visit to Akasha other than “beyond incredible.” This was our second time to St. Lucia, but the first time bringing our children. Many of the hotels are adult only, so we opted to go the route of looking for a private villa that would accommodate our family. Akasha certainly accomplished that. We had opted to try something different and take a helicopter transfer from the southern international airport to the northern airport only a few minutes from the house. When dealing with the booking for Akasha, the owner was very helpful in liasoning the transfer for us, and had ground transportation waiting for us on the other side. The villa itself is beyond compare. Facing West on the northern tip of the island, you are able to watch unobstructed views of the sunset each night, which never got old. Even our kids stayed quiet as they watched in “aww”. The amenities in the home were fantastic, and everything you can think of needing is available. We made a big dinner one night to take advantage of the great kitchen, and had everything we needed from martini glasses to serving plates. The kids were kept entertained between the media room and the pool, and the home is large enough to accommodate everyone for a vacation without feeling like you’re on top of one another by any stretch. The staff were always very friendly and helpful, and were great with the kids. Far enough away to feel private and secluded, yet close enough to visit restaurants or shopping, the home is located in an ideal location. This villa made for a vacation that we aren’t soon to forget, and for that I highly recommend the property.

Amazing villa, with spectacular views!
Akasha Villa was amazing. Me and my Husband got married in St Lucia and we had seen this villa online and had to book it for our honeymoon. We have been planning this for over a year and could not wait to stay there. When we arrived we were amazed by how beautiful the villa was and it was more then we expected. The views in every room just blew us away, they were spotless with the latest mod cons which was such a treat. There is everything you need in the villa, from a luxury home cinema to a games room and swimming pool to yourself. Juliet was our chef, she cooked us some delicious food and if you do stay there you have to try her local juices, you will not be disappointed. The owner was so helpful and professional with all our correspondence during the time of our booking and entering the villa, we could not thank him more. We are so glad we stayed in Akasha, as this is a memorable honeymoon for us. We wish to visit again in the future.

Amazing and beautiful villa with everything you could possibly imagine on a gorgeous island! It is a must stay! It has an amazing kitchen to cook in, breath taking views, pool and hot tub that can't be beat, gorgeous modern and clean finishes, it's own elevator, a comfy and great theater to watch movies in, drivers to take you to the beach and dinner, a BBQ right next to the pool, great areas to lounge or have meals while gazing at an absolutely gorgeous view! Overall we had an amazing experience and can't wait for another excuse to make a trip to st. Lucia!!!!

Words cannot describe!
This is my first ever review of a property, but I felf compelled to write something after our recent stay in Akasha. This property surpassed even my wildest expectations. The pictures (which already look insane) do not do it justice. It is without a doubt the most insanely beautiful villa I've ever seen in my life. No expense was spared in its construction, and it was built on a hilltop overlooking some ridiculously amazing scenary. There was very little incentive to leave the villa during our time there. It was better than any other conceivable activity on the island. I miss it already and definitely plan to return imminently. Thanks very much Surrinder. We had a blast!

Truly Breathtaking
From the beginning to the end our stay at Akasha was truly breathtaking. We were collected from the Airport by a taxi which was organised by the Owner before we arrived, although our flight had been delayed by 4 hours our driver Barbara was still waiting on our arrival. When we arrived at Akasha we were taken aback by the extraordinary beauty of the Villa, we were greeted by Fred, the onsite manager who showed us around the Villa and he had also arranged for some refreshments for us. The main bedroom suite which I stayed in had its own private balcony with amazing views, which was a great place to sit first thing in the mornings and also to watch the sunset in the evening. We stayed in a group of 8 people, there was always something to do as there are so many different amenities. The cinema room was a big hit with all of us, watching Gladiator was brilliant. The games room was a popular getaway for the boys whilst us girls enjoyed staying poolside with our cocktails. Other facilities including wifi throughout, a control system which is of a very high standard, it allows you to play your own music (or choose from the extensive library of music), in any area in the house which means not everyone has to listen to the same music at the same time or at the same volume. The control system also allows you to control the lightly throughout the house, the remote gates, the alarm and also the CCTV for the house. As the organiser of this holiday for our group, I found the Owner very helpful and he was always prompt at responding to my questions. The package was designed for our individual stay at Akasha. The Owner also gave some good guidance of what to do whilst we were in St Lucia. Fred was always on hand if we needed anything and helped organise any activities we wanted to do. The other staff members were also very friendly and accommodating. This is an amazing Villa where all your needs are catered for, whether you are going for a romantic getaway, a group of friends or a family getaway. We will definitely return to Akasha very soon and next time we will take our children.

A little bit of Paradise at Akasha villa
On our arrival from London, we were picked up from the airport by a lovely lady called Barbara - the taxi had been pre-arranged through Akasha which was really convenient. The moment our taxi pulled up to the Akasha villa my breath was taken away. Perched on the top of a hillside mountain, the pristine white villa stood out amongst the green backdrop. We were greeted by Fred (the villa manager) who had kindly arranged for some well needed refreshments for us, before giving us a grand tour of our accommodation for the week. The villa was incredibly spacious; there was plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out. All bedrooms were large with fantastic views of the island and the bright blue Caribbean Sea. My bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, the bathroom was huge (the shower could have fitted in 3 people), and a balcony overlooking the pool. The infinity pool and hot tub were great; the water was warm with a stunning backdrop of the nearby beach and Pigeon Island. Watching the sunset in the evening from the hot tub was very impressive! Having a home cinema and games room in the villa was fantastic. It provided entertainment indoors for the times the sun got too hot outside. Other home comforts were WiFi, a sound system in each room, and a large sunken lounge area for relaxing time. Akasha villa is close to the harbour and nearby town Rodney Bay. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable. Though we never felt the need to leave our peaceful haven, we did enjoy a day trip round the island, lunch by the stunning Piton Mountains, and also visited the Body Holiday resort which was within walking distance of the villa (albeit a very hilly walk!). We will definitely be returning to St Lucia one day, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Akasha villa again - the ultimate in relaxation. It was the perfect week away, a very big thanks to all the staff at the villa for making our stay so memorable! Nikki and Bally Brar

Stunning Villa, Stunning view, stunning location!
I can truly recommend this place as a stunning getaway, where you are cocooned in quiet luxury, yet are only a short drive from Rodney Bay, with a wonderful array of restaurants (from fine dining to Domino's Pizza!), shopping and nightlife. The villa itself is perched on a hillside, high above the BodyHoliday resort's beach on the Cap Estate. The stunning views from the villa are memorable; a vista from dawn till dusk from the stunning Infinity pool of the North of the Island, taking in the Caribbean sea, Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island and the mountains beyond. And at night, with a glass of wine, up on the 'lookout' level, the twinkling lights of Rodney Bay and the stars! The villa is built up the hillside over 5 levels, with aircon throughout and glass frontage. There is an entertainment system throughout with speakers in all rooms. Features include a cinema and games room, a lounge with sumptuous sofas and stunning views, an Italian designed kitchen, 3 double bedrooms and then the master bedroom suite/lookout on upper floors. This does mean a lot of stairs (but keeps you fit!) but there is an elevator also. Bear in mind that locally it’s steep too; it may take only 10 mins to get down to the beach but it’s a near vertical ascent back up! The staff are wonderful - the housekeepers (fred and Gloria) live in a small annex to the villa, and will help with literally anything - booking restaurants, activities, getting groceries in etc. Julietta the cleaner, will also cook (her food is wonderful!), depending on what package you choose with the owner, and Richard cleans the pool/tends the gardens every day. The owner was very helpful beforehand, exchanging many emails/phone calls with me to tailor our holiday (we are quite an independent bunch and largely self catered/grocery shopped and ate out, but there are other options available). A stunning villa, superb location, I would highly recommend such a memorable place. Contact me if you want more details!

10/10 Excellent

AMAZING!
Where to begin...this was the most incredible home I have ever stayed in. Every detail from the begin to end was what truely made this a trip to remember. Fred, the Concierge, was incredibly helpful with anything we could need. He was there for restaurant recommendations and reservations, anything we needed for the house (groceries, beverages, etc), transfer schedules, excursions, etc. Anything we needed, he was always avaiable to help! Julietta, the daily cook, made some of my favorite meals on the island! I would HIGHLY suggest using her services1 She made delicious King Fish, and local fare. So delicious! AND, Richard, the local gardener, would pick fresh pumpkins, okra, apples, and sweet potatoes that Julietta would cook with! We loved it! Prior to the trip, Surrinder, the owner, was sooo incredibly helpful with any questions I had. He was also so prompt on all emails, which made me feel so comfotable and completely excited for this trip! The house itself is just as amazing as the pictures show! (if not more incredible!) I would HIGHLY suggest watching the sunset form the Villa every night, then venture to a local restaurant that Surrinder or Fred recommend. Overall, it was a very very memorable trip for my family of 8. I could not ask for better service or views! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to stay here!
