| On 220 private
acres of former banana and coconut plantation stretching from mountain to sea,
Wild Orchid is a glamorous and luxurious hideaway in the tropics. The Georgian
design of the new mansion captures the ambiance and grace of the original plantation
... enhanced by modern amenities of air-conditioned bedrooms, state-of-the-art
kitchen and baths, satellite dish and lighted tennis court. Interiors are adorned
by Oriental rugs, unique hand-laid tiles and custom cedar accents. The comfortable
covered verandah is furnished with large bamboo sofas and chairs covered in white
canvas. Five acres of manicured lawns and gardens surround the villa and open to the greater property ... where guests can stroll, jog and be close to nature. In past centuries, men loaded bananas onto ships 300 yards downhill from the house. In
true Colonial style, Wild Orchid is meticulously staffed so that guests are pampered
through sunny days and relaxed evenings ... with memorable home-cooked meals served
in the spacious indoor dining area or on the large open verandah under the almond
trees ... cooled by the tradewinds. The night view from Wild Orchid is breathtaking
... especially from the al fresco dining terrace. ACCOMMODATIONS
