Notes on accommodation
Not suitable for children - the balconies are high up, and the pool and jacuzzi are not fenced off.
Accessibility
The property is accessed via a steep driveway and steps. It is therefore unsuitable for wheelchair users or the infirm.
Outside
Whispers features an 11 foot wide balcony wrapping round three sides of the building, affording spectacular views across to Mustique and down the Grenadines. It also provides a rare view of the Ravine Bay Blowhole. There’s always an area in the shade, and always an area in the sun. Whispers comes with high quality outdoor furniture: loungers, and a dining table and chairs for al fresco dining.
The upper level also boasts a wide tiled terrace, featuring the 25 foot pool (4 feet 6 inches deep throughout) and the large outdoor jacuzzi. The pool has an infinity edge on three sides. Both the pool and the jacuzzi are illuminated for romantic evenings. Shade in this area is provided by the beautiful gazebo, under which sits the large gas barbecue.
Whispers Villa sits at the top of a ¾ acre plot of land. The upper area is landscaped, with the lower two thirds planted with fruit trees. A concrete pathway, illuminated at night, winds through the gardens to the bottom of the plot.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is at Ravine Bay. This is less than 10 minutes’ walk from Whispers Villa - but usually a little more on the way back, as it’s all uphill! The beach is very secluded, and you will often find you are the only people there. But if you’re after a beach with loungers and a bar, you’ll want to check out some of the others - all Bequia's beaches are within 15 minutes' drive. When you’re at Ravine Bay beach, be sure to video the blowhole!
Golf
There are no golf course in Bequia, though there is a famous course at Raffles on nearby Canouan.
Travel
Bequia has its own small airport with direct flights from Barbados daily. This is the quickest way to arrive from the UK. A taxi can be arranged to transfer guests to Whispers. The more romantic (and cheaper!) way to arrive is to fly from Barbados to St Vincent and then take the inter-island ferry to Bequia. Once on Bequia, jeep hire is recommended. The owners can recommend reputable suppliers.
Distances
Bequia is only 5 miles long and 2 miles wide, so nothing is more than a 15 minute drive away.
Further details
Bequia is not for people looking for a rowdy nightlife. However, there are good shops and plenty of decent restaurants with reasonable prices. Dining choices include French and Mexican, as well as more traditional Caribbean styles (including fish and seafood). Bequia also provides two well established diving schools offering diving courses for all levels.
Booking notes
Booking is made via direct contact with the owner. A fifty percent deposit is required to confirm the booking, and the remaining balance is payable eight weeks before travel. Credit and debit cards are accepted.
Guest comments
“Our trip was fantastic, we had a wonderful time. Whispers exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely perfect - we so enjoyed the gorgeous pool and breathtaking views, private with plenty of sun or shade. The villa had every amenity we could want, and was so nicely decorated. Would definitely love to return. Thank you for such a wonderful vacation place!” (Lynn and Carl, USA)
"Wonderful house, wonderful island, wonderful people, wonderful weather. What more could we ask for?” (David and Linda, USA)
"Wow! What an amazing place you have built! Whispers is beyond idyllic - fantastic location and amazing views, with perfect peace and tranquillity. We had a fantastic time, thank you. The pictures on the web site didn't prepare us for how big it is. You have also designed it to be incredibly private." (Matt and Robyn, UK)

Why the owner chose a home in this location
The owners, Alan and Claire, first came to Bequia in 2004. They’d been to some beautiful places in their time, but instantly fell in love with the island and with this spot, overlooking the Grenadines, in particular. As well as the incredible view, they loved how peaceful this area is, with the silence broken only by the whispering of the wind in the trees, and the whispering of the waves on the shore below.
Unique benefits of the property
As well as the incredible view, Alan and Claire love how peaceful this area is, how friendly the locals are, and the old-Caribbean magic that is Bequia.
