Las Tortugas
Beach villa with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and private pool in Carriacou, Grenada
From £3,325 per week
Las Tortugas (The Turtles) is a comfortable seafront villa with twin master bedrooms on the island of Carriacou one of the islands of Grenada, West Indies.
Overview
Las Tortugas (The Turtles) is a comfortable seafront home featuring twin master bedrooms. The villa is perched on a small, breezy hill overlooking Paradise beach and the Carriacou Marine Park . It is built around a magnificent view, which includes Paradise beach, a network of coral reefs, and the islands of the southern Grenadines.
Set on almost an acre of hillside, its location affords privacy, while providing easy access to the mile-long white sands of Paradise Beach. This spacious Grenadines Villa is furnished in Southwestern American style, accented with hand painted murals and accessories, and is perfect for couples, families, and friends looking for privacy, comfort and relaxation.
At Las Tortugas you can relax with a good rum punch and look out at a truly breathtaking view. You can arrange to Scuba dive with one of the diving establishments on the island, or snorkel the reef directly below the house, having examined it from the veranda to make sure it looks interesting. You can arrange to visit the Tobago Keys, lovely Palm Island or the famous PSV (Petit St. Vincent). Our man, Godfrey, who is in attendance daily can arrange these excursions for you.
If fishing is your thing, you can arrange a trip with one of the fishermen on the beach. Once more, Godfrey will be there to guide you! You can also arrange a visit to Sandy Island, a famous beauty spot across the bay.
It’s nice to have wheels to explore the island and a 4WD rental car is included with the Villa.
You can enjoy sophisticated dining at the Roundhouse or Slipway restaurants, and for more casual dining there is pizza at the Lazy Turtle, or local fare and culture at the Lambi Queen in Harveyvale. The main town of Hillsborough is home to a tiny but interesting museum, which is well worth a visit, and Hillsborough itself is one of the few remaining authentic old West Indian towns – just like they used to be in the other islands (about 70 years ago!).
Windward on the East coast of the island, is the center of the local boat building industry, and has to be one of the last places in the world where you can actually see sailing vessels being careened in the old way. Talk to the locals. They are pleasant people, eager to share their knowledge.

We arrived to the most breathtaking view of paradise bay! Beautiful bougainvillea everywhere in full bloom. As we entered the spotlessly clean and impeccably maintained villa, we were blown away by the layout and the very huge wrap around balcony making that special view accessible from every room! So relaxing!. We were met by Godfrey, a very charming fellow who takes care of your needs!. His wife makes the best coconut bakes and fresh bread! Mmmm. All amenities were great, including wifi . The beach access requires both legs ( a little climb) however you can drive as well in a minute. Loved hanging out in the infinity pool after a day at the beach watching yachts come and leave Sandy island in the distance. We will definitely go back!
Perched on a hillside over looking Paradise Beach and Sandy Island, this custom home stands out from below but integrates well with the hillside behind. Great layout for multiple people travelling together. Well equipped galley with a separate icemaker ! Spacious rooms and several shaded & sun filled sitting areas. Pool area has a grill, loungers , dining table under cover. Recreation area/ library in lower area. Flowering potted plants on the veranda add a nice warmth. The views to Union and Mayreau are spectacular. Short path to "Off the Hook" beach bar which we found to be the best along the beach; Colleen and Curtis the Owners were most welcoming and the food delicious ! Godfrey, Las Tortugas Caretaker was most helpful and enthusiastic, answering all questions. His wife prepared a first night welcome meal, chicken, vegetables and dumplings, just right after a day of travel. Thank you all for renting us your home. Very Special !
This property is absolutely outstanding. The locations and views will be hard to match anywhere else, with your own private steps to the beach you couldn't ask for more!! We traveled with two babies so having our own infinity pool was priceless, splashing around after the beach tired them right out. You really feel at home and we have never stayed anywhere so warm with such an amazing backdrop! Also some really cool local food places on the Island to go try. Really is a place that dreams are made of.

Hello! I'm Brendan and I've spent almost every summer of my life at the lovely villa of Las Tortugas from the age of 3. My family built Las Tortugas in 2000 and it is easily my favourite place in the world to unwind, relax and forget the stresses of modern life. I'm currently working as a trainee solicitor in Manchester, UK so you can imagine I jump at any opportunity to forget stress in the warm sunshine on the veranda of a Caribbean villa. I hope you enjoy Las Tortugas as much I do and don't hesitate to contact me if you want more information.
