Photos and Description of the Cap Estate vacation villa rental
4 Suites, 6.5 Bathrooms, sleeps up to 10, Over 9000sqft, Cinema, Games Room

Akasha is 'The Villa' where the A list stay. Stunning views and sunsets are present from the moment you step thru the door. This is a state of the art villa. All bedrooms are en-suite, gourmet kitchen, spacious living area, 4000sqft of terracing, infinity pool, games room, TV in every room, wireless internet to stay in touch, nine seat cinema. Relax on the entertainment level or by infinity pool, catch a film in the private cinema, listen to music anywhere, sip your champagne while sitting on the bar stool in the pool, play the piano, cook a BBQ and entertain your friends, gaze at the stars from the lookout, or just lie in bed and watch the ships sail by. Our onsite manager can organize and book your trips, recommend where to snorkel, dive, make restaurant or golf bookings and more. Julietta is a locally renowned cook who can prepare those local dishes. The ultra modern design is set in lush gardens from which Richard, our gardener, produces his organic vegetables for your table.

Akasha sits on a hillside in the exclusive Cap Estate looking over the Caribbean sea with views down to the world heritage site of the Pitons and the national park – Pigeon Island. From this unrivaled location you can watch the sail boats and mega yachts as they head into Rodney Bay marina and in the evening with a glass of wine watch the stunning sunsets.

A contemporary villa designed for Caribbean living, Akasha combines the best of modern living with the relaxed and content lifestyle of the Caribbean. Every room boasts spectacular views, with huge floor to ceiling windows and minimum distractions from the stunning vistas. From the lookout you can see both the Atlantic and the Caribbean.

Enjoy the music and light up the atmosphere: Each bedroom has a flat-panel TV allowing you to choose a movie 'on demand' from the extensive movie library or watch cable TV. Crestron panels located on each floor allow you to manage all the music, lighting, entertainment systems, security, air conditioning, fans and security gates. These can also be controlled via the remote controls found in each room. Alternatively you could just enjoy the peace and tranquility offered by this location. At night time choose a scene from the Lutron lighting system – there are blue LED lights to create a tranquil environment.

Featuring a state of the art Lutron lighting system, and whole home Crestron music and video distribution you can relax by the pool with your favorite sounds delivered right from your own iPod - we suggest you bring it with you, alternatively from the music server which has thousands of tracks of different genres or internet radio. Listen to the same music in any of the rooms inside the house, the terraces by the pool or on the Lookout level while enjoying the spectacular view.

Spread your wings in the Great room: The Great Room includes the Lounge, Dining space and the Kitchen. The Lounge is equipped with 50” plasma and surround sound using Orb speakers and Meridan sub-woofer. Natuzzi leather seating helps to add to the experience. If you fold the 10ft high glass doors then you can fully appreciate the views or just walk onto the main terrace where further seating allows you to relax in the gentle breeze which blows across the location.

In the Kitchen you will find a blue Italian – Scavolini kitchen which matches the colour of the Caribbean sea and generates a cool ambiance. This gourmet kitchen is equipped with two ovens, microwave, fridge and freezer, dishwasher. In the island unit there is an ice maker, wine cooler, an additional sink and seating for six. The Laundry room houses a further fridge and freezer for storing those extra items when you entertain your guests. Julietta, our house manager, will undertake any light washing required.

Dining is possible inside or outside on the terracing. You can serve those special dishes either inside on the large glass dining table which has seating for 12, outside on the Dining terrace or in the intimate outdoor Nook area. If cooking outside is your thing then why not try the oversize Viking BBQ located by the swim up pool while your friends enjoy their champagne in the pool.

Akasha – living your dream: Defined in Sanskrit text as 'Ether', the most subtle of the five elements, and in Homeric Greek as 'pure, fresh air' or 'clear sky', Akasha is a positive substance, filled with unseen energies and intelligence.

Truly Breathtaking

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
From the beginning to the end our stay at Akasha was truly breathtaking.

We were collected from the Airport by a taxi which was organised by the Owner before we arrived, although our flight had been delayed by 4 hours our driver Barbara was still waiting on our arrival.

When we arrived at Akasha we were taken aback by the extraordinary beauty of the Villa, we were greeted by Fred, the onsite manager who showed us around the Villa and he had also arranged for some refreshments for us.

The main bedroom suite which I stayed in had its own private balcony with amazing views, which was a great place to sit first thing in the mornings and also to watch the sunset in the evening.

We stayed in a group of 8 people, there was always something to do as there are so many different amenities. The cinema room was a big hit with all of us, watching Gladiator was brilliant. The games room was a popular getaway for the boys whilst us girls enjoyed staying poolside with our cocktails. Other facilities including wifi throughout, a control system which is of a very high standard, it allows you to play your own music (or choose from the extensive library of music), in any area in the house which means not everyone has to listen to the same music at the same time or at the same volume. The control system also allows you to control the lightly throughout the house, the remote gates, the alarm and also the CCTV for the house.

As the organiser of this holiday for our group, I found the Owner very helpful and he was always prompt at responding to my questions. The package was designed for our individual stay at Akasha. The Owner also gave some good guidance of what to do whilst we were in St Lucia. Fred was always on hand if we needed anything and helped organise any activities we wanted to do. The other staff members were also very friendly and accommodating.

This is an amazing Villa where all your needs are catered for, whether you are going for a romantic getaway, a group of friends or a family getaway. We will definitely return to Akasha very soon and next time we will take our children.
Owner's Response: Hi Dal and Jaz, so glad that you and your friends had a great time in St Lucia and also at the villa. Thanks for posting the review as we know how busy you guy are.

Hopefully we will see you again soon.

A little bit of Paradise at Akasha villa

5 of 5
Submitted: December 31, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
On our arrival from London, we were picked up from the airport by a lovely lady called Barbara - the taxi had been pre-arranged through Akasha which was really convenient. The moment our taxi pulled up to the Akasha villa my breath was taken away. Perched on the top of a hillside mountain, the pristine white villa stood out amongst the green backdrop.
We were greeted by Fred (the villa manager) who had kindly arranged for some well needed refreshments for us, before giving us a grand tour of our accommodation for the week. The villa was incredibly spacious; there was plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out. All bedrooms were large with fantastic views of the island and the bright blue Caribbean Sea.
My bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, the bathroom was huge (the shower could have fitted in 3 people), and a balcony overlooking the pool.

The infinity pool and hot tub were great; the water was warm with a stunning backdrop of the nearby beach and Pigeon Island. Watching the sunset in the evening from the hot tub was very impressive!
Having a home cinema and games room in the villa was fantastic. It provided entertainment indoors for the times the sun got too hot outside. Other home comforts were WiFi, a sound system in each room, and a large sunken lounge area for relaxing time.
Akasha villa is close to the harbour and nearby town Rodney Bay. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable.
Though we never felt the need to leave our peaceful haven, we did enjoy a day trip round the island, lunch by the stunning Piton Mountains, and also visited the Body Holiday resort which was within walking distance of the villa (albeit a very hilly walk!).
We will definitely be returning to St Lucia one day, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Akasha villa again - the ultimate in relaxation. It was the perfect week away, a very big thanks to all the staff at the villa for making our stay so memorable!

Owner's Response: Hi Nikki and Bally

Stunning Villa, Stunning view, stunning location!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 31, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
I can truly recommend this place as a stunning getaway, where you are cocooned in quiet luxury, yet are only a short drive from Rodney Bay, with a wonderful array of restaurants (from fine dining to Domino's Pizza!), shopping and nightlife. The villa itself is perched on a hillside, high above the BodyHoliday resort's beach on the Cap Estate. The stunning views from the villa are memorable; a vista from dawn till dusk from the stunning Infinity pool of the North of the Island, taking in the Caribbean sea, Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island and the mountains beyond. And at night, with a glass of wine, up on the 'lookout' level, the twinkling lights of Rodney Bay and the stars!
The villa is built up the hillside over 5 levels, with aircon throughout and glass frontage. There is an entertainment system throughout with speakers in all rooms. Features include a cinema and games room, a lounge with sumptuous sofas and stunning views, an Italian designed kitchen, 3 double bedrooms and then the master bedroom suite/lookout on upper floors. This does mean a lot of stairs (but keeps you fit!) but there is an elevator also. Bear in mind that locally it’s steep too; it may take only 10 mins to get down to the beach but it’s a near vertical ascent back up!
The staff are wonderful - the housekeepers (fred and Gloria) live in a small annex to the villa, and will help with literally anything - booking restaurants, activities, getting groceries in etc. Julietta the cleaner, will also cook (her food is wonderful!), depending on what package you choose with the owner, and Richard cleans the pool/tends the gardens every day. The owner was very helpful beforehand, exchanging many emails/phone calls with me to tailor our holiday (we are quite an independent bunch and largely self catered/grocery shopped and ate out, but there are other options available).
A stunning villa, superb location, I would highly recommend such a memorable place.
Contact me if you want more details!

The pick up and drop arrangements were great. Earl was a great and informative driver and everyone enjoyed the time we had with him. We used him often while we were there.

The villa was perfectly clean all during our stay.

Our stay more than met our expectations. Nobody wanted to leave. The house is fantastic.

Fred was very helpful, and Julietta took care of everything we needed. We enjoyed Fred and his family and felt like he enjoyed our stay as well.

AMAZING!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 23, 2010 Stayed: December 2010
Where to begin...this was the most incredible home I have ever stayed in. Every detail from the begin to end was what truely made this a trip to remember.
Fred, the Concierge, was incredibly helpful with anything we could need. He was there for restaurant recommendations and reservations, anything we needed for the house (groceries, beverages, etc), transfer schedules, excursions, etc. Anything we needed, he was always avaiable to help!
Julietta, the daily cook, made some of my favorite meals on the island! I would HIGHLY suggest using her services1 She made delicious King Fish, and local fare. So delicious! AND, Richard, the local gardener, would pick fresh pumpkins, okra, apples, and sweet potatoes that Julietta would cook with! We loved it!
Prior to the trip, Surrinder, the owner, was sooo incredibly helpful with any questions I had. He was also so prompt on all emails, which made me feel so comfotable and completely excited for this trip!
The house itself is just as amazing as the pictures show! (if not more incredible!) I would HIGHLY suggest watching the sunset form the Villa every night, then venture to a local restaurant that Surrinder or Fred recommend.
Overall, it was a very very memorable trip for my family of 8. I could not ask for better service or views! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to stay here!

Family treat

5 of 5
Submitted: May 20, 2010 Stayed: May 2010
From breath taking views of the sunset on the patio, or lounging at the pool side bar, Akasha provides the relaxation that one desires when going on vacation.

Enjoy the stunning views of Pigeon island from any room of the house, while listening to your favourite song from your ipod courtesy of the high end entertainment system Akasha has to offer.

If you do not enjoy cooking in Akasha's vast, stainless steel, fully furnished kitchen, take a short drive into Rodney Bay and dine at one of the many restaurants located along the strip. After dinner, take part in the St. Lucian nightlife, however, be warned the party might not stop until sunrise.

If you are looking for a place to unwind, put your mind at ease, and enjoy all the amenities and luxuries Akasha has to offer.

Akasha is heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: May 20, 2010 Stayed: May 2010
Our stay at Akasha in St. Lucia was nothing short of amazing.

From watching the beautiful sunsets from the large balconies, to enjoying the amenities that the Villa offered, Akasha provided a trip that I will never forget.

The design of the house allows you to have extraordinary views from any part of the house, whether it be from the comfort of your bedroom or down in the pool.

The staff was very helpful in providing places to visit in the nearby Rodney Bay, as well as answering any questions that we had.

From the entertainment systems in each room, seating areas on the many balconies, or outdoor kitchen with swim up bar, no detail was missed and Akasha provided a stay like no other.

My family and I will be sure to visit Akasha again on our next stay to the beautiful St. Lucia.

The sound system throughout Akasha is remarkable. As a musician, I couldn't help but also notice the exceptional acoustics throughout the house. My guitar comes with me everywhere and I won't soon forget the experience of playing my favourite flemenco piece in the living room of Akasha during a picturesque Caribbean sunset.

Family vacation to a new island

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2010 Stayed: March 2010
Akasha is an absolutely gorgeous home with incredible views of both the Caribbean sunsets and the vibrant city life below. Our family of four stayed there for spring break. The home offers every modern convenience a home can offer. Our teenage children particularly enjoyed plugging their IPods into the home's speaker system and enjoying customized audio throughout the home all week. I enjoyed having coffee on the main terrace overlooking the ocean in one of the home's many comfortable outdoor living areas each morning. My husband most enjoyed walking down to the beach below the villa and the rejuvenation offered by the home's amazingly tranquil views of the sunrise each morning. We all enjoyed early morning dips in the pool.

Akasha's staff went way above and beyond in making sure our stay was enjoyable and that our every need was met. There was no pressure to do pack our days with activities, but rather an offer to arrange them if we so desired, and that was nice. Some days we opted to have them arrange travel or activities on the island, while others we chose to just stay and enjoy what the villa itself has to offer. One night we cooked a fantastic meal on the poolside barbeque grill and ate on the lovely outdoor dining area overlooking the ocean. Fred gladly took us to nearby beaches and to the store or the resort below when needed.

For those looking for more than just another crowded upscale resort, a stay at Akasha is a fantastic alternative. It offers more amenities, more luxury, and of course far more space, and is far more private and peaceful. There are dozens of activities located within close proximity of the villa. The private tour of the island and the zip-lining in the rain forest were quite fun, and the restaurants recommended to us by the staff were all fantastic and quite convenient from the villa. Traveling with teenagers, it was especially nice for them to have their own bedrooms (and of course bathrooms). What a lovely place to unwind in the evening, with a glass of wine on the back terrace for the adults and a nice library of movies on the flat screens throughout the home for the kids.

The site and the pictures simply don't show the true beauty of Akasha. The gourmet kitchen is far more spectacular in person than it is in the pictures, and the words and pictures describing the resort's services and staff can't adequately reflect the welcome feeling and superb service they provide to guests.
