Little Thatch is a 54-acre, privately owned, island just a few minutes by boat from Soper's Hole at the West End of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. The island was made habitable by its English owners a few years ago, and is now one of the most idyllic venues in the Caribbean. Treat yourself to a castaway vacation, far away from the hectic world of hassle and frantic activity of every day life. It is a unique and breathtakingly beautiful destination – quite simply, what dreams are made of.

Situated right on the shore in one of the most perfect locations imaginable, Seagrape Cottage is accessed either from the water's edge on to the dining deck or along a shell-strewn path into a small walled garden - your complete privacy is assured. The cottage is built in typical West-Indian style with gingerbread trim, a large terracotta-tiled veranda to three sides and a private dining deck built out over the turquoise sea with steps leading directly to the beach. The cottage enjoys stunning views across the sparkling ocean to Great Thatch, Jost van Dyke and the most western tip of Tortola. Seagrape Cottage is simply, but very elegantly decorated: terracotta floors overlaid with rugs, comfortable bamboo and rattan furniture, a fully equipped kitchen area, a romantic four-poster bed, and a traditionally styled bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower. The open plan interior with brightly coloured shuttered doors leads out onto the veranda, furnished with tables and chairs, sun-loungers and a king-sized hammock, which enable guests to enjoy full sun or retreat to the shade and enjoy the refreshing sea breezes. There is also a covered cooking area, with a full-sized professional BBQ, grill and cook-top for al fresco meals.

Seagrape Cottage is just steps away from the white-sand beach, fringed with coconut palms and sea grapes. The water is so clear you don’t even need a snorkel to view the amazing variety of fish, and the gentle sea breezes ensure that the heat never becomes oppressive.

A favourite of world-renowned celebrities and of discerning travellers, Little Thatch is an exclusive beach haven for the very particular traveller seeking seclusion, romance and serenity in a pristine tropical paradise.

I can't begin to put into words how special Seagrape Cottage is. Imagine.. your own private villa on a private island within steps of your own pristine beach. Seagrape Cottage is the perfect choice for guests seeking a romantic vacation, whether it be for your honeymoon, to celebrate a special anniversary or to just get away from all the stresses of modern day life. Strolling hand in hand with your loved one along the white sands, watching the glorious sunsets from your verandah, swimming and snorkelling in crystal clear turquoise waters - what more can you ask for? Seagrape Cottage on Little Thatch is heaven on earth! I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever recommending this little piece of paradise to all those seeking a perfectly wonderful vacation on a private island. Simply idyllic!
