Katitche Point Greathouse, completed at the turn of the millennium, is already among the most beautiful holiday homes in the British Virgin Islands.

Situated on the west side of Virgin Gorda on a rocky outcrop directly above the sea between Mahoe Bay and Pond Bay, the villa offers breathtaking ocean views over Sir Francis Drake Channel where you can see the Caribbean and the Atlantic.

Accommodation
Katitche Point Greathouse is a small, secluded holiday village in its own right and includes the main house in pyramid shape, four large suites, and an additional, even more spacious master bedroom, each with a veranda commanding breathtaking sea views. The main house, its distinctive shape visible from far offshore, is 11 metres (34 ft) high and offers space for social gatherings as well as private seclusion.
All four suites are identical in size and furnishings. Each has a private, shaded veranda with lounge chairs and dazzling sea views. Two overlook Savannah Bay and Virgin Gorda's Valley, while the others face Mango Bay and the Dog Islands.
Each suite has a ceiling fan, air-conditioning, CD player, coral sandstone floors and a spacious bathroom.
Dining
The kitchen, equipped to a professional standard, reveals the owners’ passion for cooking. It is also visually stunning: the enormous gas cooker, the refrigerator with its thick glass doors and the ice-making machines make you want to start cooking straight away. But if you prefer not to cook while on vacation, you can simply hire your own chef, sit back and let yourself be enchanted by the resulting Caribbean or international dishes.
