Villa La Mer South

The iron Sapodilla Bay shoreline serves as your compass as soon as you get to Villa La Mer South.

With its European sensibility woven through modern Caribbean lines, the house appears to float above the waterline. Its glass, light stone, and tailored textiles keep the rooms cool and serene while allowing the sea to speak for itself. Every horizon is the color of a postcard: turquoise in the morning, cobalt in the afternoon, and liquid silver after dark. Light streams through three stories and pools on travertine floors, and doors pocket away so completely that the great room reads like one long terrace.

Although it is large, the scale is never impersonal. Villa La Mer South, which has over 9,000 square feet of indoor space and about 14,000 square feet of outdoor space, was designed for families and friends who wish to spend time together without compromising their privacy. On the second floor, you enter a sophisticated great room with a wall of glass framing unobstructed views of the ocean and vaulted ceilings that catch the trade winds.

With Wolf ovens and cooktops, Sub-Zero freezers and refrigerators, a Monogram wine reserve, professional small appliances, and matching serviceware, the kitchen is a true culinary workspace rather than a set piece, allowing the chef and butler to effortlessly transition from mise en place to plated dinner. The palette is a hush of sand, linen, and the gentle blues borrowed from the bay, the sofas are deep and textural, and the fabrics are carefully chosen for salt and sun.

Eight full bathrooms and two half bathrooms make routines easy, and nine bedrooms are arranged to strike a balance between retreat and connection. Blackout shades and excellent mattresses make sleep a luxury in and of itself. Suites open to terraces or windows facing the sea, so you wake up to color and quiet.

Accessibility has been taken into account from the beginning: wide thresholds and ample circulation make the daily flow feel natural, while a gently grading ramp from the ground level and an elevator to the second floor eliminate friction for multigenerational groups. An in-home theater with an 82-inch smart TV, surround sound, and an oversized sectional serves as the focal point for movie nights and game days, while a games lounge with a pool table and casual seating is located on the third-story mezzanine.

Time slows to island pace outside. With the bluff catching the breeze and the pool reflecting the sky, waterfront terraces descend toward Sapodilla Bay. With the bay’s renownedly calm waters glimmering in aquamarine bands, afternoons drift between the shade and the shallows, while mornings effortlessly transition from coffee to swims. With the silence of Chalk Sound to one side and the silhouettes of anchored boats to the other, evenings are for leisurely meals beneath the pergola. On clear nights, the Milky Way frequently makes an appearance. A house that functions flawlessly, an address that values privacy but never feels remote, and a view that eliminates everything but the necessities are all designed to eliminate choices.

Three simple activities close to the villa include a leisurely lunch at Las Brisas on Chalk Sound, followed by a leisurely kayak ride along its neon-blue lagoons; a quick hop to Taylor Bay for powder-soft, kid-friendly shallows; and a quick stroll to Sapodilla Hill for the cliff-top overlook and historic rock carvings at golden hour.

Useful indicators for travel durations and distances: At roughly 21.736° N, 72.292° W, Villa La Mer South is located along Sapodilla Bay in Chalk Sound on Providenciales. The drive to the island’s main gateway, Providenciales International Airport (PLS), takes 12 to 18 minutes on average, depending on traffic and luggage pickup; during peak holiday seasons, it can take up to 25 minutes. The main full-service grocery store, Graceway IGA, is about ten to fifteen minutes away by car along Leeward Highway; other stores and pharmacies are about fifteen to twenty minutes away; Las Brisas on Chalk Sound is about five minutes away, and Bugaloos in Five Cays is about ten minutes away.

Grace Bay’s shopping and dining district is typically 18 to 25 minutes away by car, and the unofficial trail to the Sapodilla Hill viewpoint starts right behind the beach parking lot and takes only a few minutes to walk. The final kilometer to the villa follows peaceful neighborhood lanes that are appropriate for any typical sedan or SUV, and the roads from PLS to Chalk Sound are paved and clearly marked.

A seamless arrival and logistics plan includes flying into PLS, scheduling a private transfer in advance or picking up a rental car at the terminal, making a brief provisioning stop at Graceway IGA on your way in, and anticipating a straightforward paved approach to Chalk Sound with easy on-site parking and level access via the ground-floor ramp before taking the elevator to the main living level.

True oceanfront location on the protected ironshore of Sapodilla Bay, a design that blends European restraint with Caribbean ease, and purpose-built accessibility (ramp and elevator) within a newly constructed, three-story villa of this size—privacy, poise, and practicality in one address—are what make this house unique.

Villa La Mer South is part of the La Mer Estate. Villa La Mer West (5 bedrooms) can be rented along with La Mer South to provide up to 14 bedrooms.
