Villa Bird of Paradise (villa code: AXA BOP) is a striking cliffside 4-bedroom villa overlooking Anguilla’s serene Sandy Hill Bay, designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Wilson & Associates—known for their work on world-renowned resorts such as Amandari in Bali, Las Ventanas in Cabo San Lucas, and The Peninsula in Beverly Hills. Drawing influence from the tropics of Southeast Asia, the villa features a unique layout of four interconnected pavilions surrounded by lagoon-style pools, creating a sense of serene immersion in nature.
Set high above the Caribbean Sea, Bird of Paradise captures sweeping views of nearby islands including St. Barts and St. Martin. Its design embraces the concept of open-air living, with retractable walls that blur the boundary between indoors and out, inviting in the island’s warm breezes and fragrant tropical air. The effect is a seamless and tranquil retreat designed for both privacy and sociability.
The villa offers multiple gathering spaces, including a grand indoor living room and several outdoor lounging areas. One of these features a fireplace, offering a cozy ambiance under the stars. Three separate dining spaces include a sophisticated veranda set against a backdrop of manicured gardens, rolling ocean waves, and distant islands. Throughout the property, guests can retreat to peaceful terraces or relax on an oversized Indonesian daybed nestled among the palms with a panoramic ocean view.
Accommodations include four beautifully appointed suites and a convertible office space that serves as a fifth bedroom. Each suite is equipped with an ensuite bathroom, private balcony, air conditioning, television, refrigerator, and coffee service—offering guests a high level of privacy and personal comfort.
