Villa Bokeh

Just a few minutes outside of Antigua’s city center is a hacienda-style estate spanning six acres of parkland, a setting that belies Villa Bokéh’s atmosphere of contemporary cool. Not to say it isn’t as luxurious as it looks — but in its present incarnation it’s a more or less even mix of classic charm and boutique-hotel bohemian chic. Rustic touches like leather and hand-crafted textiles share space with a modern graphic sensibility as well as some eye-catching art, while the views of the gardens reinforce the estate’s air of tranquility. And while the city is close at hand, Villa Bokéh offers plenty of reasons to stay in, including a swimming pool, a spa, and a pair of restaurants.
