2025 - 2026

Villa Caballito De Mar, designed by Hassan Lightbourne Architecture, is an expansive private estate nestled along the unspoiled shores of Parrot Cay. Framed by lush native vegetation and fronted by soft white sand and crystalline waters, the residence embodies a natural harmony between architecture and landscape. The layout unfolds as a series of carefully composed pavilions connected by shaded walkways, gardens, and courtyards, providing privacy and tranquillity throughout the property.

The main house anchors the estate with a refined yet relaxed palette of stone, wood, and glass, highlighted by a sculptural spiral staircase that acts as both centrepiece and statement. Open-plan living areas feature expansive windows and doors to connect with gardens, while the upper-level prime bedroom suite includes a private terrace with a hot tub and sun deck. Surrounding structures host guest suites, family wings, and recreational zones, including three swimming pools, a fully appointed beach bar, sport courts, and spaces crafted for both intimacy and entertainment.

The South Wing consists of four standalone guest suites accessed via a covered pergola, two facing the beach and two with plunge pools. The North Wing gathers bedroom units around a central lounge with an organically shaped pool. Additional facilities include a dining pavilion, spa and gym with yoga deck, media room, games pavilion, and independent guest cottages.

Passive design and sustainability underpin the project, with large overhangs, geolocated shading studies, natural materials, and minimal intervention ensuring comfort while reducing energy use. Villa Caballito De Mar is a sanctuary that combines barefoot luxury, wellness, and timeless elegance with its
tropical environment.
