Anguilla's waterfront gems redefine island living

Conceived to be the perfect combination of contemporary architecture and luxury living, the Altamer retreat is home to three breath-taking waterfront villas, known as the International Gems of Altamer. Three more villas are scheduled to be built for purchase and subsequent use as a vacation rental or exquisite holiday home.

Completed in 2004, the three villas have attracted an elite crop of guests representing the highest levels of accomplishment. Perfect for use as a romantic getaway, family gathering or exotic conference centre, the International Gems of Altamer exude an atmosphere of rare, sumptuous luxury.

Each villa is named for a particular cultural gem and reflects the styles and artwork of each chosen country. Russian Amethyst, Brazilian Emerald and African Sapphire are filled with antiques, sculptures, art works and acclaimed designs from their respective nations.

Other features of these premier villas include wine cellars, private spas, shower gardens, home entertainment theatres, aquariums, roof and beach terraces as well as expertly trained full-time staff.

An adjacent marine is currently being built to accomodate every kind of vessel, including mega yachts, and its serene bird sanctuary border to the North as well as the vast exapanse of the Caribbean to the South means that the International Gems of Altamer are impeccable beach residences that double as sanctuaries of privacy and excelsior luxury.
