Description

Alumbrera is located on Mustique, which is a privately owned island in the Grenadines, West Indies. The 1,800-acre (728-hectare) island has been developed as one of the world's most exclusive resorts, and when fully developed will have no more than 100 villas and a small hotel.

Alumbrera itself is a five-bedroom complex covering a 10,000 square feet (929 square metres) site with spectacular sea views. It is organised as a series of small pavilions and recreational facilities, linked by landscaped gardens and terraces, arranged to take advantage of the views and prevailing winds on the large hilltop site. Separate components include the living pavilion with large areas for dining and entertaining, bedroom pavilion, guest suite pavilion, and kitchen pavilion, all arranged around a central terrace. Other facilities on-site include a carport, a staff cottage, a swimming pool, beach access stairs, and tennis courts.

The residence takes full advantage of its beautiful site, allowing for an open-air lifestyle while providing luxurious seclusion and privacy.
