Villa Lidija

With 12,000 square feet of spacious, modern architecture interspersed with decks, lagoons, and gardens that seem to breathe with the trade winds, Villa Lidija leans into the turquoise silence of Long Bay Beach with the confidence of a true oceanfront icon.

The sea on this south shore, sun-kissed section of Providenciales glows like liquid glass during the day and turns to molten silver at sunset because the Caicos Banks are shallow and warm. A 600-foot front deck separated by a graceful 16-foot bridge, twin infinity edges shimmering next to a Jacuzzi and a kid’s wading pool, and a private boardwalk that winds through palm shade to stone beach platforms furnished with designer daybeds and a canopy bed for stargazing to your favorite playlist are just a few of the ways Villa Lidija perfectly captures that theater.

Here, the days have their own cadence. The 700-square-foot great room, where wall-to-ceiling sliders dissolve into sea light and breeze, is where morning coffee drifts from the chef’s kitchen, which is fully furnished with Sub-Zero style refrigeration, an ice maker, an oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, wine coolers, Nespresso, and all the little comforts.

With a pool bar, alfresco dining for six, umbrellas, and sun loungers angled toward the horizon, the marble-clad pool pavilion is a natural gathering spot where afternoons linger. As appetites increase, a Japanese teppanyaki station and barbecue transform evenings into outdoor theaters, with the sound system by the beach blending music with the aroma of lime and flame. While adults float between conversation and the warm pool edge, children wade the shallows or slip between the swings, seesaws, and climbers of the play set.

Villa Lidija delivers on its promise of carefree luxury inside. With air conditioning, ceiling fans, 55-inch screens, Apple TV, Netflix, safes, and in-room refrigerators, the eight light-filled, en suite bedrooms—centered by the main suite with a private oceanfront balcony and walk-in dressing—are set up for restful sleep. The distinctive Long Bay blues are framed by sliding glass, making napping an art form and waking a ritual. A private chef can be hired to transform the dining area into a nightly tasting of island flavors, such as freshly caught mahi, grilled lobster, and garden herbs, without anyone having to leave the view. Housekeeping is also included.

There is humor as well as seriousness in entertainment. After sunset, families congregate in a ten-seat movie theater with a 95-inch HD screen, Apple TV, Blu-ray, cable, a chilled drink nearby, and a humming popcorn maker. A shared tennis and basketball court adds a friendly bit of competition to golden-hour light, and free kite-surfing and snorkeling gear invites you straight to the water when the breeze is right. Routines travel with you thanks to the 900-square-foot, air-conditioned gym, which has a treadmill, StairMaster, dumbbell rack, and over a dozen other pieces for strength and cardio. After that, the shared spa enclave with Turkish steam, sauna, outdoor shower, and treatment space resets the day to island tempo.

Lighting and landscaping are just as important as the architecture. Well-kept gardens soften glass and stone; decks and lagoons combine outdoor spaces into a single, walkable canvas; and concealed speakers create a cozy soundscape for late-night talks and night swimming.

Villa Lidija transforms into a private constellation as night falls, with bridge lights following the water, palm trees casting gentle shadows across the terrace, and the sea acting as a silent metronome outside the dune. This Pearls of Long Bay Estate address was designed to handle significant events with elegance, whether they are a wedding that needs a stage worthy of its vows, a romantic getaway, a multi-family vacation, or a milestone celebration.

The practicalities are subtly imperceptible. Beach days are made easier with laundry rooms that have washers and dryers. A wine cooler awaits toasts at sunset. Although the villa’s location maintains tranquility, seclusion, and that noticeably warmer Long Bay water, Provo Golf Club, Grace Bay’s stores and eateries, and the island’s marinas are all easily accessible by car. Time well spent with those you love is the most basic form of luxury, and Villa Lidija makes it seem inevitable from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Nearby activities include kayaking and snorkeling the luminous blues of Chalk Sound National Park, stopping at small cays for a picnic; exploring Grace Bay for boutique shopping and a beachside lunch before a sunset round at Provo Golf Club; and gliding the glassy shallows of Long Bay by kite or e-foil with a certified instructor.
